Quick Start guide

Product Limitations

  • Ziru accepts the majority of its commands exclusively by voice, with only the most frequently used functions being also available to control via physical buttons. Ziru's user thus (1) needs to be able to utter the commands and (2) have access to an environment with a relatively low background noise. Even when both of these conditions are met, the recognition success may depend on the stress, voice timbre, intonation and command complexity. It may be necessary to repeat the command or choose an alternative command that has a higher success rate for that user;
  • Ziru reduces field of view and presently can only be used while stationary (seated or standing) in order to avoid the danger of falling;
  • Ziru has a magnetic charger cable. If you are using a cochlear implant, heart monitor, pacemaker, continuous glucose monitor or another implantable medical device please consult your doctor or the manufacturer of your medical device. Please contact us if you would prefer a device without a magnetic charger cable;
  • This version of Ziru is not connected to the Internet or any other network. Dodrotu will optionally collect feedback via email or phone survey only.
  • Ziru should be calibrated for each individual user by adjusting lens positions to match their interpupillary distance. We can configure Ziru before shipping if the interpupillary distance is known at the time of purchase. Alternatively, the device could be configured by the user themselves or another person if they are able to learn the calibration process, press the buttons on the device and read and follow instructions in the manual. The calibration is not complex and involves a combination of voice commands and button presses. Calibration operations are detailed in the Calibration section of the Quick Start guide.

Health and Safety Warnings

  • Anyone who has had a seizure, loss of awareness, or other symptom linked to an epileptic condition should see a doctor before using the headset;
  • The headset might distract the user from or partially block the view of actual surroundings. Please remain seated or stationary at all times while wearing the headset;
  • Exposure to direct sunlight can damage the headset;
  • By using this device, you agree that you will not modify or adapt the product.
