Caution

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.

●

Be careful of the tips of the frame when putting on the 3D Eyewear.

●

Always keep the 3D Eyewear in a cool, dry place.

●

Be careful not to trap a finger in the hinge section of the 3D Eyewear.

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 conditions.

●

Please stop using the 3D Eyewear immediately, if you feel tired, are not feeling well or experience any other uncomfortable sensation. When you set the effect by using [3D Adjustment], take into account that the vision of 3D images varies among different individuals.

●

Take an appropriate break after viewing a 3D movie.

●

Take a break of between 30 - 60 minutes after viewing 3D content on interactive devices such as 3D games or computers.

●

Be careful not to strike the TV screen or other people unintentionally. When using the 3D Eyewear the distance between the user and screen can be misjudged.

●

The 3D Eyewear must only be worn when viewing 3D content.

●

Use the 3D Eyewear where there is no interference from other devices with Bluetooth signal.

●

If you suffer from any eyesight problems (short / far-sighted, astigmatism, eyesight differences in left and right), please ensure to correct your vision before using the 3D Eyewear.

●

Stop using the 3D Eyewear if you can clearly see double images when viewing 3D content.

●

Do not use the 3D Eyewear at a distance less than the recommended distance. The recommended viewing distance is at least 3 times of the image height. For a 42-inch television, 1.6 m or more. For a 50-inch television, 1.9 m or more. For a 65-inch television, 2.4 m or more. When the top and bottom area of the screen is blackened, such as movies, view the screen at a distance at least 3 times of the height of the actual image. (That makes the distance closer than above recommended figure.)

Viewing 3D images

Caution

3D Eyewear Use

●

Pay special attention when children are using the 3D Eyewear. 3D Eyewear should not be used by children younger than about 5 - 6 years old, as a guideline. All children must be fully supervised by parents or guardians who must ensure their safety and health throughout the using 3D Eyewear.

●

Before using the 3D Eyewear, ensure no breakable objects surrounding the user to avoid any accidental damage or injury.

●

Remove the 3D Eyewear before moving around to avoid falling or accidental injury.

●

Use the 3D Eyewear only for the intended purpose and nothing else.

●

Do not use 3D Eyewear in the condition of high temperature.

●

Do not use if the 3D Eyewear is physically damaged.

●

Do not use devices (such as mobile phones or personal transceivers) that emit strong electromagnetic waves near the 3D Eyewear as this may cause the 3D Eyewear to malfunction.

●

Stop using the 3D Eyewear immediately if a malfunction or fault occurs.

●

Stop using the 3D Eyewear immediately if you experience any redness, pain, or skin irritation around the nose or temples.

●

In rare cases, the materials used in the 3D Eyewear may cause an allergic reaction.

Regular care:

Gently wipe the surface of the display panel, cabinet, or pedestal by using a soft cloth to clean the dirt or fingerprints.

Caution

●

Do not use a hard cloth or rub the surface too hard, otherwise this may cause scratches on the surface.

●

Take care not to subject the TV’s surfaces to water or detergent. Liquid inside the TV could lead to product failure.

●

Take care not to subject the surfaces to insect repellent, solvent, thinner or other volatile substances. This may degrade surface quality or cause peeling of the paint.
