conjunction with the left and right image sequence on screen. The I/R receiver (located in the center of the
eyewear) must be in line of sight and in range of the emitter for successful operation of CrystalEyes. Please
consult the documentation accompanying your emitter for installation and operation details.

In all cases except for non-stereo-ready PCs, the system or graphics card manufacturer requires specific display
settings to enable Stereo3D mode. Please consult the manual or vendor for your specific graphics subsystem to
determine the proper settings for Stereo3D mode. For best results in using
workstation displays, set the emitter slightly behind the top edge of the monitor, as shown in Figure 1. In

• For EPRO, ESGI and ELR emitters, make sure the emitter is switched
to the ON position. Depending on the emitter range needed, switch
the emitter to either the high or low setting.

• The ENT emitter will switch on and off automatically whenever a sync
signal is presented by the graphics card.

• Users of the EPC-2 must switch the emitter from BYPASS to STEREO
MODE and set the emitter range separately.

Maintenance

CrystalEyesCrystalEyes

Your

CrystalEyes eyewear will provide years of excellent viewing if properly cared for. As with any eyewear,

CrystalEyesCrystalEyes

take care to prevent scratching the lenses. Also, protect the electronic circuits within the eyewear from damage by
excessive moisture or immersion in liquids.

Cleaning

CrystalEyesCrystalEyes

CrystalEyes lenses have hard-coated plastic surfaces and if cared for properly will remain in good condition for

CrystalEyesCrystalEyes

many years. Using a soft cloth or lens tissue intended for plastic lenses, gently wipe the lens surface. A dry, clean
chamois cloth also works well.

CrystalEyesCrystalEyes

CrystalEyes eyewear lenses should receive the same care used for plastic eyeglass lenses except:

Batteries

Two 3-volt lithium/manganese dioxide “CR2032” or equivalent (NEDA 5004L) batteries, which are shipped in

CrystalEyesCrystalEyes

CrystalEyes, provide power to the eyewear. Batteries are installed in the eyewear at the factory. When installed

CrystalEyesCrystalEyes

in the product, the batteries have a storage life of over three years or will run the eyewear for more than 160 hours
in normal use.

To replace the batteries, first fold the temple pieces of the eyewear. Locate the battery holder at the hinge-point of
the left temple piece. Using a paper clip or ballpoint pen for help (as shown in Figure 2), swing the battery holder
out from the eyewear and remove the existing batteries, noting their orientation.

Place both fresh batteries into the battery holder making sure
that the positive (+) sides of each battery face in opposite
directions, as indicated. Each position will accept its battery
in only one orientation. Follow the installation instructions
located inside the battery holder.
