Using Precautions
Lens
Do not apply pressure to the liquid crystal shutter. Also, do
not drop or bend the 3D Eyewear.
Do not scratch the surface of the liquid crystal shutter with
a pointed instrument etc. Doing so may cause damage to
the 3D Eyewear, and reduce the quality of the 3D image.
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.
The 3D Eyewear cannot operate fully at high or low
temperatures. Please use within the specied usage
temperature range ( page 14).
If the 3D Eyewear is used in a room in which uorescent
lights (50 Hz) are used, the light within the room may
appear to be ickering. In this case, either darken or switch
off the uorescent 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 difcult to see while
wearing the 3D Eyewear. Do not wear the 3D Eyewear
when watching anything other than 3D images.

For comfortable viewing
View the screen at a distance at least 3 times further than
the effective height of the screen.
Using the 3D Eyewear at a distance closer than the
recommended distance may cause eyesight fatigue.
When the top and bottom area of the screen is blackened,
such as movies, view the screen at a distance 3 times of
the height of the actual image.
(That makes the viewing distance closer than above
recommended distance.)
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.
Viewing 3D images
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
