Important Installation Notices
Install the TV on a stable surface
If a television is not positioned in a sufficiently stable location, it can be potentially hazardous due to
falling. Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as:
Using cabinets or stands recommended by the manufacturer of the television.
•
Only using furniture that can safely support the television.
•
Ensuring the television is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.
•
Not placing the television on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring
•
both the furniture and the television to a suitable support.
Not standing the television on cloth or other materials placed between the television and supporting furniture.
•
Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television or its controls.
•
When cleaning the TV, remove the mains plug
Cleaning an energised TV may cause electrical shock.
•
When the TV is not going to be used for a long period of time, remove the mains plug
This TV will still consume some power even in the Off mode, as long as the mains plug is still
•
connected to a live socket outlet.
Transport only in upright position
Transporting the TV with its display panel facing upward or downward may cause damage to the internal circuitry.
•
Allow sufficient space around the TV for radiated heat
Minimum distance

This may cause damage resulting in injury.
•
Do not expose your ears to excessive volume from the
headphones
Irreversible damage can be caused.
•
The TV is heavy. Handle the TV by 2 or more people. Support as
shown to avoid injury by the TV tipping or falling.

Failure to do so may cause fire or electric shock.
Be careful not to trap a finger in the hinge section of the 3D Eyewear.
•
Doing so may result in injury.
• Pay special attention when children are using this product.
About Viewing of 3D Images
In the event that you experience dizziness, nausea, or other discomfort while viewing 3D
•
images, discontinue use and rest your eyes.
When you set the effect by using [3D Adjustment], take into account that the vision of 3D images
varies among different individuals.
Do not use the 3D Eyewear if you have a history of oversensitivity 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 watching 3D movies, take an appropriate length break after watching a movie.
•
When watching 3D content on interactive devices such as 3D games or computers, take an
•
appropriate length break after using for 30 - 60 minutes.
Prolonged use may cause eyesight fatigue.
When using the 3D Eyewear, be careful not to strike the television 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.
Use the 3D Eyewear when viewing 3D images.
•
When using the 3D Eyewear, make sure your eyes are on an approximately horizontal level.
•
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 55-inch television, 2.1 m or more.
Using the 3D Eyewear at a distance closer than the recommended distance may cause eyesight
fatigue.

Using 3D Eyewear
As a guide, 3D Eyewear should not be used by children younger than about 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.
When using the 3D Eyewear, do not place breakable objects near to the user.
•
The user may mistake the 3D objects they are viewing as real objects causing them to move, which
may cause damage to surrounding objects that may lead to injury.
Do not move around while wearing the 3D Eyewear.
•
The surrounding area appears dark, which may result in falling or other accidents that may cause
injury.
Only use the 3D Eyewear for the specified purpose.
•
Do not use if the 3D Eyewear is cracked or broken.
•
Doing so may result in injury or eyesight fatigue.
If a malfunction or fault occurs in the 3D Eyewear, stop use immediately.
•
Continuing to use the 3D Eyewear may result in injury, eyesight fatigue, or may cause you to feel
unwell.
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.
Stop using the 3D Eyewear immediately if you experience any redness, pain, or itching on the
•
nose or temples.
Prolonged use may cause such symptoms due to excess pressure, which may result in the user
feeling unwell.
Using Precautions
Viewing 3D images
Infra-red receiver section
Do not soil the infra-red receiver section or attach stickers etc. to it.
•
• Doing so may prevent the receiver from receiving signals from the television, which may prevent the
3D Eyewear from operating normally.
If the 3D Eyewear is affected by other infra-red data communication equipment, the 3D images
•
may not be displayed correctly.
Cautions during viewing
Do not use devices that emit strong electromagnetic waves (such as cellular phones or personal
•
transceivers) near the 3D Eyewear. Doing so may cause the 3D Eyewear to malfunction.
If the 3D Eyewear is used in a room in which fluorescent lights (50 Hz) are used, the light within
•
the room may appear to be flickering. In this case, either darken or switch off the fluorescent
lights when using the 3D Eyewear.
Wear the 3D Eyewear correctly. 3D images will not be correctly visible if the 3D Eyewear is worn
•
upside down or back-to-front.
Other kinds of displays (such as computer screens, digital clocks, or calculators etc.) may
•
be difficult to see while wearing the 3D Eyewear. Do not wear the 3D Eyewear when watching
anything other than 3D images.
