user’s authority to operate the equipment.

NOTE TO CABLE/TV INSTALLER

If a fixed image displays on the TV screen for a long period of time, it will be imprinted and become a permanent disfigurement on the screen. This is “image burn” or “burn-in” and not covered by the warranty.

If the aspect ratio of the TV is set to 4:3 for a long period of time, image burn may occur on the letterboxed area of the screen.

Avoid displaying a fixed image on the TV screen for a long period of time (2 or more hours for LCD, 1 or more hours for the Plasma TV) to prevent image burn.

This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the National Electric Code (U.S.A.). The code provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of the cable entry as practical.

Viewing Time

-When watching 3D content, take 5 - 15 minute breaks every hour. Viewing 3D content for a long period of time may cause headache, dizziness, fatigue or eye strain.

Those that have a photosensitive seizure or chronic illness

Some users may experience a seizure or other abnormal symptoms when they are exposed to a flashing light or particular pattern from 3D content.

Do not watch 3D videos if you feel nauseous, are pregnant and/ or have a chronic illness such as epilepsy, cardiac disorder, or blood pressure disease, etc.

3D Content are not recommended for those who suffer from stereo blindness or stereo anomaly. Double images or discomfort in viewing may be experienced.

If you have strabismus (cross-eyed), amblyopia (weak eyesight) or astigmatism, you may have trouble sensing depth and easily feel fatigue due to double images. It is advised to take frequent breaks than the average adult.

If your eyesight varies between your right and left eye, revise your eyesight prior to watching 3D content.

CAUTION

Viewing Environment

Viewing Distance

-Maintain a distance of at least twice the screen diagonal length when watching 3D content. If you feel discomfort in viewing 3D content, move further away from the TV.

Viewing Age

Infants / Children

-Usage/ Viewing 3D content for children under the age of 5 are prohibited.

-Children under the age of 10 may overreact and become overly excited because their vision is in development (for example: trying to touch the screen or trying to jump into it. Special monitoring and extra attention is required for children watching 3D content.

-Children have greater binocular disparity of 3D presentations than adults because the distance between the eyes is shorter than one of adults. Therefore they will perceive more stereoscopic

depth compared to adults for the same 3D image.Teenagers

-Teenagers under the age of 19 may be stimulated to light coming from 3D videos. Advise them not to watch 3D videos for a long time when they are

tired.Elderly

-The elderly may perceive less of a 3D effect than the youth. Do not sit closer to the TV than the recommended distance.

Symptoms which require discontinuation or refraining from watching 3D content

Do not watch 3D content when you feel fatigue from lack of sleep, overwork or intoxication .

When these symptoms are experienced, stop using/ watching 3D content and get enough rest until the symptom subsides.

-Consult your doctor when the symptoms persist. Symptoms may include headache, eyeball

pain, dizziness, nausea, palpitation, blurriness, discomfort, double image, visual inconvenience or fatigue.

Cautions when using the 3D glasses

Make sure to use LG 3D glasses. Otherwise, you may not be able to view 3D videos properly.

Only use 3D glasses instead of your normal glasses, sunglasses or protective goggles.

Using modified 3D glasses may cause eye strain or image distortion.

Do not keep your 3D glasses in extremely high or low temperatures. It will cause deformation.

The 3D glasses are fragile and are easy to scratched. Use a soft, clean piece of cloth when wiping the lenses. Do not scratch the lenses of the 3D glasses with sharp objects or clean/wipe them with chemicals.
