User and Safety Guide — AnceFlex® Performance and Elite Carbon Strobe Glasses
AnceFlex® glasses are designed for neurovisual training exercises in a controlled environment. They alternate between transparent and opaque phases, temporarily reducing the available visual information.
Read the instructions and contraindications before use. Keep this information and pass it on to anyone who uses the glasses.
Important warning: Epilepsy and photosensitivity
Do not use in case of epilepsy, history of seizures or known photosensitivity to flashing and intermittent visual stimulation.
Intermittent visual stimulation can trigger an attack in some sensitive individuals. The absence of a diagnosis or known history does not allow this risk to be completely ruled out.
Never use the glasses to test your own sensitivity to flashing lights. A lower intensity setting or short use does not guarantee the absence of risk.
Situations requiring prior medical advice
Consult your doctor before use if you have, in particular:
- a family history of epilepsy or seizures triggered by visual stimuli;
- migraines caused by blinking, high sensitivity to light, or unexplained visual disturbances;
- dizziness, balance problems, nausea or loss of consciousness;
- a neurological or ocular condition, a recent concussion or recent eye surgery;
- a treatment that may alter alertness, vision, or sensitivity to light stimuli.
If you are unsure about your ability to use the glasses, do not start training before obtaining medical advice.
Use in a rehabilitation setting must be assessed and supervised by a competent healthcare professional.
How to charge glasses
- Turn off the glasses and remove them. Check that the glasses, charging adapter and cable are dry and in good condition.
- Plug the USB-C cable into the small port located on the end of the supplied charging adapter. Align the connector correctly and insert it straight, without twisting or forcing it.
- Bring the adapter close to its location on the side of the glasses. The integrated magnets make it easy to position and hold it in place. Check that it rests correctly against the contacts.
- Connect the other end of the cable to a USB power supply compatible with the specifications indicated in the instructions or on the product.
- The red light on the back of the glasses indicates that charging is in progress.
- At the end of charging, unplug the power supply and then carefully remove the adapter, without pulling on the cable.
Never force the USB-C port or the charging contacts. If the cable or adapter does not position easily, remove it and check its orientation.
Charge the glasses on a dry, stable, and clear surface, away from water, heat sources, and flammable materials. Do not cover the product while charging, and do not wear it while charging.
Do not use damaged cables, adapters, or glasses. If you notice abnormal heat, swelling, an unusual odor, or deformation, stop charging if it is safe to do so and contact our customer service department. Do not disassemble the product or its battery.
First use and settings
Before each session, check the condition of the lenses, the frame, and the controls. Do not use the glasses if they are damaged or if their operation seems abnormal.
- Perform the exercise without glasses first.
- Adjust the fastening to ensure a comfortable and stable fit.
- To turn on the glasses, hold button A for two seconds.
- Use the controls according to the instructions for your model.
- Start with a simple exercise, on site, with a supervisor during the first use.
