Viewing 3D projection using the 3D function

English

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ THE FOLLOWING WARN­INGS BEFORE YOU OR YOUR CHILD USE THE 3D FUNCTION.

Warning

Children and teenagers may be more susceptible to health issues



associated with viewing in 3D and should be closely supervised
when viewing these images.

Photosensitive Seizure Warning and Other Health Risks

Some viewers may experience an epileptic seizure or stroke when



exposed to certain ashing images or lights contained in certain
Projector pictures or video games. If you suffer from, or have a
family history of epilepsy or strokes, please consult with a medical

specialist before using the 3D function.

Even those without a personal or family history of epilepsy or



stroke may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause photo­sensitive epileptic seizures.

4

Usage Notice

Pregnant women, the elderly, sufferers of serious medical condi-



tions, those who are sleep deprived or under the inuence of
alcohol should avoid utilizing the unit’s 3D functionality.
If you experience any of the following symptoms, stop viewing 3D



pictures immediately and consult a medical specialist: (1) altered
vision; (2) light-headedness; (3) dizziness; (4) involuntary move­ments such as eye or muscle twitching; (5) confusion; (6) nausea;
(7) loss of awareness; (8) convulsions; (9) cramps; and/ or (10)
disorientation. Children and teenagers may be more likely than
adults to experience these symptoms. Parents should monitor
their children and ask whether they are experiencing these symp­toms.
Watching 3D projection may also cause motion sickness, percep-



tual after effects, disorientation, eye strain and decreased postural
stability. It is recommended that users take frequent breaks to
lessen the potential of these effects. If your eyes show signs of
fatigue or dryness or if you have any of the above symptoms, im­mediately discontinue use of this device and do not resume using
it for at least thirty minutes after the symptoms have subsided.
Watching 3D projection while sitting too close to the screen for



an extended period of time may damage your eyesight. The
ideal viewing distance should be at least three times the screen
height. It is recommended that the viewer’s eyes are level with the

screen.

Watching 3D projection while wearing 3D glasses for an extended



period of time may cause a headache or fatigue. If you experience
a headache, fatigue or dizziness, stop viewing the 3D projection

and rest.
Do not use the 3D glasses for any other purpose than for watch-



ing 3D projection. Wearing the 3D glasses for any other purpose
(as general spectacles, sunglasses, protective goggles, etc.) may
be physically harmful to you and may weaken your eyesight.
Viewing in 3D projection may cause disorientation for some view-



ers. Accordingly, DO NOT place your 3D PROJECTOR near open
stairwells, cables, balconies, or other objects that can be tripped
over, run into, knocked down, broken or fallen over.

Installing Batteries

Two size AAA batteries are supplied for Remote Control.

Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the
manufacturer.

CAUTION

Improper use of batteries can result in chemical leakage or explo­sion. Be sure to follow the instructions below.

Do not mix batteries of different types. Different types of batteries

have different characteristics.

Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries can
shorten the life of new batteries or cause chemical leakage in old

batteries.

Remove batteries as soon as they are worn out. Chemicals that leak
from batteries that come in contact with skin can cause a rash. If you
 nd any chemical leakage, wipe thoroughly with a cloth.

The batteries supplied with this product may have a shorter life ex­pectancy due to storage conditions.

If you will not be using the remote control unit for an extended period
of time, remove batteries from it.

When you dispose of the battery, you must obey the law in the rela­tive area or country.
