Magic Leap Quick Start Guide

In the box

• Magic Leap Headset
• Magic Leap Lightpack
• Controller
• Charging Cable
• UK-EU adapter
• Fit Kit Components (consists of different size nose and forehead pads)

Before you start

• That little box near the right eyepiece is the antenna for your “Six degrees of freedom” (6DoF) Control. Be gentle with it.
• Keep Lightpack vents clear so your device can breathe, These are located just below the Power Button.
• The Fit Kit components never require physical force to adjust.
• Don’t drop your device. Secure the Lightpack in a pocket, your hand, on a desk, or with a sling

Room tips

Recommended Conditions

• Ample light (50 lux) evenly distributed – Think a living room lit in the evening
• Walls and floors with objects on them rather than broad empty surfaces
• A chair to sit in while developing – But protect the Lightwear cable from snagging chair arms or furniture

Challenging Conditions

• Transparent or reflective surfaces, solid white or black walls,
• Crowded areas with moving people, pets, or objects
• Shiny furniture, walls and floors
• Bright overhead lighting can cause tiny rainbows in the optical display
• Large open spaces with features more than 5 meters from the device
• Direct sunlight or dimly lit areas
• Rooms with glass walls (Tip: Place sticky notes on walls for reference points.)
