■ 3D Eyewear Use

Caution

●

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

●

Do not move around while wearing the 3D Eyewear to
avoid falling or accidental injury.

●

Do not drop, bend, exert pressure on, or step on the 3D
Eyewear.

●

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

●

Be careful not to trap your fingers in the hinge section
of the 3D Eyewear.

●

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

●

If you suffer from any eyesight problems (short / far­sighted, astigmatism, eyesight differences in left and
right), ensure that you correct your vision before using
the 3D Eyewear. The supplied 3D Eyewear can be worn
over vision correction glasses.

●

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.

Stop viewing 3D images immediately if you feel tired,
feel unwell, experience any other uncomfortable
sensation or clearly see double images. Take an
appropriate break before continuing to view. When you
set the 3D effect by using [3D Adjustment], take into
account that the vision of 3D images varies among
different individuals.

●

Do not view 3D images if you have a history of
oversensitivity to light, heart problems or any other
medical conditions.

●

When viewing 3D images, your sense of distance may
be tricked or go wrong. Be careful not to hit the TV
screen or other people unintentionally. Ensure there
are no breakable objects around you to avoid any
accidental damage or injury.

●

Do not view 3D images from a distance shorter than
recommended. The recommended viewing distance is
at least 3 times of the image height.

55-inch model

When black bands at the top and bottom of the screen
are displayed, such as movies, view the screen from
a distance at least 3 times the height of the actual
image. (That makes the distance shorter than the
recommended values above.)

: 2.1 m or more

■ Viewing 3D Images

Caution

●

Pay special attention when children are viewing 3D
images. 3D images should not be viewed by children
younger than about 6 years old, as a guideline.
All children must be fully supervised by parents or
guardians who must ensure their safety and health
while they are viewing 3D images.

Maintenance

First, remove the mains plug from the socket outlet.

Display panel, Cabinet, Pedestal

Regular care:

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

For stubborn dirt:

First clean the dust on the surface. Dampen a soft cloth with 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.

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.

●

The surface of the display panel is specially treated and may be easily damaged. Take care not to tap or scratch the
surface with your fingernail or other hard objects.

●

Do not allow the cabinet and pedestal to make contact with a rubber or PVC substance for a long time. This may
degrade surface quality.

Mains plug

Wipe the mains plug with a dry cloth at regular intervals. Moisture and dust may cause fire or electrical shock.
