Pairing 3D Active Glasses

✎What is Pairing? Pairing is the process of connecting 3D glasses and a 3D TV so that

the two devices can exchange data.

✎Ensure your Samsung TV and 3D glasses are no farther than 19.5 in (50 cm) apart from

each another while pairing is in progress.

Turning the glasses on

Press the power button briefly. The
green LED is turned on for 3 seconds.
(Make sure that 3D is activated on the
TV before using the 3D glasses.)

Turning the glasses off

Press the power button briefly. The red
LED is turned on for 3 seconds.

Performing the pairing process

Press and hold the Power button. The
green and the red LEDs blink alternately
for 2 seconds.

nce the 3D glasses are paired, the remaining battery capacity is displayed on the TV

screen. (This feature only applies to Samsung F series 3D TVs and 3D glasses that have been
launched since 2013.)

✎If you keep trying to do the pairing, the battery level will decrease significantly. However,

the battery level will recover to a certain degree in about a minute.

✎The working distance depends on the existence of obstacles (a person, metal, walls, etc.)

between the glasses and the TV or the strength of electromagnetic waves.

✎Turn off the 3D glasses while they are not in use. If you leave the 3D glasses on, the

battery lifespan decreases.
