Storing and cleaning the 3D Eyewear



Clean using a soft, dry cloth.



Wiping the 3D Eyewear with a soft cloth that is covered in dust or dirt may scratch the eyewear. Shake off any dust from the cloth before use.



Do not use benzene, thinner, or wax on the 3D Eyewear, as doing so may cause the paint to peel off.



Do not dunk the 3D Eyewear in liquid such as water when cleaning.



Avoid storing the 3D Eyewear in hot or highly humid locations.



As the liquid crystal shutters (lens) are fragile and easily broken, be very careful when cleaning them.
