• If the projector becomes disconnected due to either a change in the
viewing angle or distance, the 3D glasses turn off automatically after
30 seconds.

• The 3D Active Glasses may not work properly if there is any other 3D
product or electronic devices turned on near the glasses or projector.

• Be sure to stay within the viewing angle and optimum viewing distance
when watching 3D pictures. Otherwise, you may not be able to enjoy
proper 3D effects.

System Requirements

The PGD-250 3D Glasses are designed to be emitter free and work with
3D enabled DLP® Link projectors and televisions. The DLP projector
should be in 3D mode and displaying 3D content.

Benets

Light weight design for comfortable long-time wear

• Long effective distance (up to 12 metres) when used in conjunction
with a projector which has a brightness output of more than 2000
lumens

• Good resistance against ambient light interference

USING 3D GLASSES

• Power On

─ Press the power button once. The red LED blinks 10 times quickly.

• Power Off

─ Press the power button. The red LED blinks 5 times.

• Auto Off

─ The power is automatically turned off if no signal is transmitted for

30 seconds.

• Free run

─ The 3D Glasses work for 10 seconds in no signal.

Battery Indicator

ViewSonic PGD-250 glasses use one lithium-polymer battery inside the
right temple. Battery provides almost 50 hours (active mode) of battery
life. The battery can easily be recharged by charging system. If the
glasses are in low battery, the LED blinks 27 times quickly and turns
off automatically. While the glasses are in charge, LED turns on. When
charging is completed, the LED turns off.

CHARGING 3D GLASSES

• Connect the USB port located under the power button on the glasses
to the USB port of the TV or PC using the supplied USB cable.

• Charge the glasses until the LED turns off.

• The glasses will fully charge in about 2 hours.

※ If you use a USB cable other the one supplied with the product, the

WARNING

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ THE FOLLOWING
WARNINGS BEFORE YOU OR YOUR CHILD USES THE 3D FUNCTION.

• Parents’ careful supervision is required particularly when children or
teenagers view 3D images.

• Some viewers may experience an epileptic seizure or stroke when
exposed to certain ashing images or lights contained in certain

television pictures or video games. If you or any of your relatives has a
history of epilepsy or strokes, please consult with a medical specialist
before using the 3D function.

• Even those without a personal or family history of epilepsy or stroke
may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause “photosensitive
epileptic seizures.”

• If you experience any of the following symptoms immediately stop
watching 3D pictures and consult a medical specialist : (1) altered
vision; (2) lightheadedness; (3) dizziness; (4) involuntary movements
such as eye or muscle twitching; (5) confusion; (6) nausea; (7) loss
of awareness; (8) convulsions; (9) cramps; and/or (10) disorientation.
Parents should monitor and ask their children about the above
symptoms. Children and teenagers may be more likely than adults to
experience these symptoms.

• Do not watch 3D pictures when you feel incoherent, sleepy, tired or
sick. Avoid watching 3D pictures for long periods of time. Take breaks.

• Note that watching while sitting too close to the screen for an extended
period of time may weaken your eyesight.

• Note that watching while wearing 3D glasses for an extended period
of time may cause a headaches, fatigue, or dizziness. If you have a

is designed to be immersive. DO NOT use this product near open
stairwells, cables, balconies or other objects that can be tripped over,
run into, knocked down, broken or knocked over. If you are startled or
misconstrue the 3D images as real, you may crush a nearby object or
injure yourself trying to move your body.

• When watching a 3D video, do not please anything nearby that can
be easily broken. Involuntary movements or surprised reactions
may occur as a result of watching 3D images, causing you to break
surrounding objects or hurt yourself.

• Do not use the 3D glasses for any purpose other than the purpose it
was designed (sunglasses, protective goggles, etc.) may physically
harm you or weaken your eyesight.

CAUTION

• Do not place the product in a location exposed to direct sunlight, heat,
re or water. This may result in a products malfunction or re.

• Do not apply force to the lenses of 3D glasses. Do not drop or bend

cloth, mare sure to shake off any dust before using it.

• Do not attempt to replace the battery. The battery is not replaceable.

• Do not apply strong pressure to the lens’s of the PGD-250 3D glasses

TROUBLESHOOTING

• The glasses do not work properly.

─ Focus the glasses towards the front of the screen or TV. Make sure

that the distance between the screen or TV and the glasses is within the
motion range.

─ Check the 3D function settings of your projector.

• There is something wrong with the 3D images.

─ Switch the left and right sides of the 3D image. For details, see the

projector operating instructions.

• The LED indicator does not light when the power switch is set to ON.

─ The battery is completely at. Charge the battery.
