To insure your safe use of the Glasstron, please become familiar with its basic operations, including proper fitting instructions, and be aware of any symptoms of eye fatigue or other discomfort you may experience.

About the Glasstron

Caution: The screen is always right in front of you.

The Glasstron is a head-mounted display. With this type of display, the screen is always in front of you even if you move your head. Because of this feature, you can concentrate on the screen more easily compared with ordinary TVs, and you have a sense of being in the action.

• It is easy to adjust the Glasstron to your eyes. You can use the display unit even while wearing glasses.

• Every time you use the Glasstron, the adjustment screen appears to help you adjust the display unit properly. You can also check whether the left and right screen positions are properly aligned or not.

• Cautions appear on the screen about every two hours to remind you to check for eye fatigue. The power will automatically turn off if you do not press the PUSH DISPLAY jog dial. If you keep using the Glasstron continuously for six hours, a warning appears on the screen and the power will turn off automatically.

The Glasstron consists of the following items:

Display unit

The display unit is equipped with two small (left and right) LCDs.

Power supply box
