Attaching the mount.
To wear the OrCam MyEye, you need to install a
small mount with magnets on a glasses frame.
We recommend using thicker frames to better
support the device.
Choose whether you want to install the mount
on the right or left arm of your glasses frame.
You will require:
1. Your glasses frame
2. Your OrCam MyEye, powered off
3. The partially-assembled plastic mount
4. Pair of small scissors (provided in the box)
To assemble on the right arm of the glasses
frame, using the partially-assembled mount:
• Place the OrCam MyEye on the mount.
• Insert the right glasses arm through the
mount straps, ensuring the tab is towards the
back and camera is facing forwards.
• Align the front end of the OrCam camera
with the front of the glasses frame to position
the mount correctly on the glasses arm.
• Remove tab from back side of the mount.
• Press the mount onto the arm of the glasses
frame. Ensure the OrCam MyEye is still parallel
to the glasses frame’s arm and that the camera
is facing forward.
• Remove the OrCam MyEye from the mount.
• Push each strap around arm and through
the hole on the mount. Pull tightly to secure
mount.
• Carefully cut off the excess strap close to
the mount.

The mount is now attached to the glasses
frame and can be left there permanently. The
glasses can be folded with the mount in place.
See www.orcam.com/tutorials for a video
tutorial to help you attach the mount.
Note: If you prefer to attach the OrCam MyEye
to the left arm of the glasses frame, the mount
tab must face forwards during assembly, to
ensure the magnets are properly aligned.
Charging your OrCam MyEye.
• Attach the OrCam charger cable to the USB
outlet on the back of the OrCam MyEye.
• Plug the charger into an electrical socket.
The OrCam MyEye fully charges in 40 minutes.
Charge the device when not in use so it is
ready when you are.
OrCam strongly recommends using only the
original OrCam charger provided.
Turn on your OrCam device.
• Press the Power button on the inside of the
OrCam MyEye for about 2 seconds.
• The LED light on the inside of the device will
turn green.
• After about one minute you will hear, “OrCam
Version 8 is ready. Battery is [this many] percent
charged.”
If you did not hear the phrase, “OrCam is ready,”
or you are not sure that the OrCam MyEye is on,
touch the touch bar. If the device is on, you will
hear a response.

Gestures.
You can activate your OrCam MyEye using
simple and intuitive hand gestures.
Pointing Gesture.
OrCam MyEye can recognize text, products,
barcodes and banknotes through a simple
point of your nger. When the camera sees
your ngertip, it knows you want it to read or
recognize something.
• Raise the index nger of your hand, with the
tip of your nger pointed up and the ngernail
facing the camera.
• Extend your arm outward, in front of you, with
your nger at eye level, and point at the area you
want to read or recognize.
• When the camera detects your nger, you will
hear a double-beep.
• Remove your nger away from the camera’s
eld of view. The camera will take a picture
of what it sees and make several beeps as it
processes the picture.
