Built-in wireless LAN

●

To use the built-in wireless LAN, an access point needs to be obtained.

●

Do not use the built-in wireless LAN to connect to any wireless network (SSID∗) for which you do not have usage
rights. Such networks may be listed as a result of searches. However, using them may be regarded as illegal access.
∗SSID is a name for identifying a particular wireless network for transmission.

Do not subject the built-in wireless LAN to high temperatures, direct sunlight or moisture.

●

Data transmitted and received over radio waves may be intercepted and monitored.

●

The built-in wireless LAN uses 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands. To avoid malfunctions or slow response caused
by radio wave interference, keep the TV away from the devices such as other wireless LAN devices, microwaves,
mobile phones and the devices that use 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz signals when using the built-in wireless LAN.

●

When noises occur due to the static electricity, etc., the TV might stop operating for the protection of the devices. In
this case, turn the TV off with Mains power On / Off switch, then turn it on again.

Viewing 3D images

You can enjoy viewing 3D images with contents or programmes corresponding to the 3D effect by wearing the 3D
Eyewear.
This TV supports [Frame Sequential]

∗

1: The 3D format that the images for the left and right eyes are recorded with the high definition quality and alternately

∗

2, ∗3: Other available 3D formats

●

How to view the 3D images (p. 28)

●

Do not disassemble or modify the 3D Eyewear. Doing so may result in injury, or may cause the user to feel unwell.

To use 3D Eyewear safely and comfortably, please read these instructions fully.

3D Eyewear

●

Do not drop, exert pressure on, or step on the 3D Eyewear. Doing so may damage the glass section, which may
result in injury.

●

Be careful of the tips of the frame and the hinge section when putting on the 3D Eyewear. Failure to heed this
warning may result in injury. Pay special attention when children are using this product.

Viewing 3D Content

●

Do not use the 3D Eyewear if you have a history of over-sensitivity to light, heart problems, or have any other existing
medical condition. Using the 3D Eyewear may cause the symptoms to worsen.

●

Stop using the 3D Eyewear immediately if you feel tired, discomfort, or any other abnormality. Continuing to use
the 3D Eyewear in such cases may cause you to feel unwell. Please take the necessary rest before continuing use.
When you set the effect by using [3D Adjustment], take into account that the vision of 3D images varies among
different individuals.

●

When using the 3D Eyewear, be careful not to strike the TV screen or other people by mistake. As the images are
in 3D, the distance between the user and screen may be mistaken, causing the user to strike the screen which may
result in injury.

●

When using the 3D Eyewear, make sure your eyes are on an approximately horizontal level, and keep a position
where you do not see double images.

●

If you suffer from myopia (short-sightedness), hyperopia (far-sightedness), astigmatism, or have eyesight differences
between the left and right eyes, please use corrective glasses or other such methods to correct your eyesight before
putting on the 3D Eyewear.

●

Stop using the 3D Eyewear if you can clearly see double images when viewing 3D content. Prolonged use may
cause eyesight fatigue.

●

View the screen at a distance at least 3 times further than the effective height of the screen.
Recommended distance:
For a 42-inch television, 1.6 m or more.
For a 47-inch television, 1.8 m or more.
For a 55-inch television, 2.1 m or more.
Using the 3D Eyewear at a distance closer than the recommended distance may cause eyesight fatigue.

3D Eyewear Use

●

Do not use the 3D Eyewear for any other purpose except viewing 3D images.

●

As a guide, 3D Eyewear should not be used by children younger than 5 - 6 years old. As it is difficult to judge younger
children’s reactions to fatigue or discomfort, it may be difficult to prevent them from suddenly feeling unwell. When
this product is being used by a child, the parent or guardian should check to ensure that the child’s eyes are not
becoming tired.

●

Do not use if the 3D Eyewear is cracked or broken. Doing so may result in injury or eyesight fatigue.

●

Stop using the 3D Eyewear immediately if your skin feels unusual. In rare cases, the paint or materials used in the 3D
Eyewear may cause an allergic reaction.

clean water or diluted neutral detergent (1 part detergent to 100
parts water). Wring the cloth and wipe the surface. Finally, wipe
away all the moisture.
