Q U I C K S T A R T G U I D E
Thank you for your purchase of the Eyeball, the first USB webcam with both HD audio and video.
The Eyeball has been designed to be used in a variety of positions, from mounting on the top of most laptops to sitting on a desk or other raised surface. To open the Eyeball from its protective travel container, just grasp the opposite ends of the container and gently pull them apart. The Eyeball can now be set up in a variety of positions, as shown in the pictures below.

When you’re ready to take the Eyeball on the road, simply retract the Eyeball’s camera (more on that in a minute), coil the USB cable back inside the housing and snap both pieces back together. Presto! The Eyeball is ready to go mobile!
Note: When transporting or storing the Eyeball, rotate the head down, so that the metal grill faces into the Eyeball’s container (this will keep dust and debris from interfering with the Eyeball’s sensitive audio components). Keep the Eyeball away from intense heat and moisture!
The Eyeball is shipped with its retractable camera in the open position. To close the camera, hold the Eyeball’s head with one hand and push the camera extension in with your finger until it clicks shut. To bring the camera out again, gently push in on the end of the extension and the camera will spring back out to its open position. The Eyeball’s head can swivel in almost any direction, but be careful not to overtwist the Eyeball, as this can lead to excessive wear and void your warranty.
For mounting the Eyeball onto monitors thicker than the Eyeball’s reach, use the handy included monitor adapter. Just slip the adapter as shown over the back of the Eyeball until it’s snug with the back of the monitor, and you’re all set to go!
Now that you’re familiar with the Eyeball’s setup, here’s a quick guide to hooking it up with your computer.
