Viewing 3D PROJECTOR using the 3D function

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.

English

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.
Viewing 3D PROJECTOR may also cause motion sickness, per- 
ceptual after effects, disorientation, eye strain and decreased pos-

tural 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 PROJECTOR 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 PROJECTOR 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 3D
PROJECTOR and rest.
Do not use the 3D glasses for any other purpose than for viewing 
3D PROJECTOR. 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 may cause disorientation for some viewers. Accord- 
ingly, 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.
