Safety Information
Viewing 3D images
Be sure to follow the instructions in the
manuals that came with your VAIO
computer when viewing 3D images.
Some people may experience discomfort
(such as eye strain, fatigue, or nausea) while
watching 3D video images or using
stereoscopic 3D-related software. Sony
recommends that all viewers take regular
breaks while watching 3D video images or
using stereoscopic 3D-related software. The
length and frequency of necessary breaks
will vary from person to person. You must
decide what works best. If you experience
any discomfort, you should stop watching
the 3D video images or using stereoscopic
3D-related software until the discomfort
ends; consult a doctor if you believe
necessary.
You should also see the instruction manual
of any other device or software used with
this computer.
The vision of young children (especially
those under six years old) is still under
development. Consult your doctor (such as
a pediatrician or eye doctor) before
allowing young children to watch 3D video
images or use stereoscopic 3D-related
software. Adults should supervise young
children to ensure they follow the
recommendations listed above.
If you see a double image or feel the 3D
effect is less pronounced while viewing 3D
images, stop viewing.
Always wear the 3D glasses while viewing
3D images. Viewing 3D images without
wearing the 3D glasses may cause
discomfort.
Handling the 3D glasses
Do not use the 3D glasses for any purpose
other than viewing 3D images on
3D-capable displays specified by Sony.
Do not drop or modify the 3D glasses.
If the 3D glasses are broken, avoid contact
of broken parts with your eyes or mouth.
Be sure to keep small parts out of the reach
of children.
If swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.
Be careful not to pinch your fingers in
hinges when bending the temple frames.
Warning regarding the use of
the 3D glasses
Do not put the 3D glasses in a fire.
Do not disassemble the 3D glasses.
Do not use, charge, store, or leave the 3D
glasses near a fire, or in places with a high
temperature, e.g., in direct sunlight, or in
sun-heated cars.
Use only the supplied USB charging cable.
Do not charge the 3D glasses with anything
other than your computer or recommended
USB charging AC power adapter.
For details on Sony devices compliant with
3D, refer to the operating instructions
supplied with the device.
Do not allow water or foreign material to
enter the 3D glasses.

Notes on Viewing 3D Images
Correct posture for viewing
3D images
Always wear the supplied 3D glasses while
viewing 3D images.
Adjust the angle of the LCD screen so that your
eyes are perpendicular to your computer
screen and keep a distance of 2.5 feet
(75 cm) or more from the screen.
View 3D images using the 3D glasses, facing
squarely towards the computer screen.
If you lie on your side or tilt your head while viewing
3D images, the 3D effect may be less pronounced or
the color of the images may change.
3D sync transmitter
communication range
The 3D glasses operate by communicating
with the 3D sync transmitter on your
computer. The approximate communication
range of the transmitter is illustrated below:
The range (angle and distance) varies
depending on ambient environment and the
location where you use the computer.
Overhead view
50° 50°
Side view
30°

Do not use any infrared communication device near
the 3D sync transmitter on the computer, as it may
prevent the 3D glasses from receiving the 3D
transmitter signal.
