> Charge Your HoloLens 2
Connect the power supply to the charging port by using the USB-C cable (included). Plug the power supply into a power outlet. The power supply and USB-C-to-C cable that come with the device are the best way to charge your HoloLens 2. The charger supplies 18W of power (9V at 2A). Using the wall charger supplied, HoloLens 2 devices can charge the battery to full in less than 65 minutes when the device is in standby.
Charging rate and speed may vary depending on the environment in which the device is running.
When the device is charging, the battery indicator lights up to indicate the current level of charge. The last light will fade in and out to indicate active charging.
When your HoloLens is on, the battery indicator displays the battery level in increments.
When only one of the five lights is on, the battery level is below 20 percent.
If the battery level is critically low and you try to turn on the device, one light will blink briefly, then go out.
Full details on device charging can be read here if more information is needed.
> Adjust Fit
Place the HoloLens 2 on your head. If you wear eyeglasses, leave them on. The brow pad should sit comfortably on your forehead and the back band should sit in the middle-back of your head.
If necessary, extend the headband by turning the adjustment wheel, and then loosen the overhead strap.
> Attach and Detach The Overhead Strap
The overhead strap isn't required, but it can make wearing HoloLens 2 more comfortable during long periods of use.
To detach the front of the overhead strap, unhook the strap and slide it through the retractable loop on the brow pad. To reattach it, pull out the loop and slide the strap back through.
To detach the back of the overhead strap, press the button below each connection tab and pull gently. To reattach it, push the connection tabs back into the slots until they click.
> Turn On The HoloLens 2
To turn on your HoloLens 2, press the Power button. The LEDs below the Power button display the battery level.
Note
To power on HoloLens 2 for the very first time, after unboxing, press and hold the power button for at least 4 seconds to turn it on. Next time you power on HoloLens 2, it’ll start after a short power button press.
