Getting Started

Before you get started with installations, make sure you know your device by checking out the "device power", "battery use", and "device registration" for the Vuzix M400 and M4000.

Navigation

The Vuzix M400/4000 is operated mostly hands-free using voice commands and can be activated by “Hello Vuzix” when properly configured. The M400 will listen for voice commands for 15 seconds by default. However, it does have touchpad buttons navigation on the side for SELECT, RETURN, and FORWARD, while the 2-axis pad responds to up/ down or back-to-front finger swipes and tap to select.

To activate voice control, open the Settings menu and navigate to System -> Language and input -> Speech Commands. Enable the toggle for Enable Vuzix speech command recognition. You can view a full list of voice control commands from that same settings menu.
