Safety Precautions for 3D glasses
Note: See p. 32 for compatible type of 3D glasses. 3D glasses not included.
Warning
About handling the 3D glasses
•Do not leave the 3D glasses, the battery, or the accessories within the reach of small children. Inhaling or swallowing them may cause suffocation or lesions in the stomach wall.
If swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.
•Do not repair, modify, or disassemble the 3D glasses by yourself.
Doing so may cause a fire or cause you to become indisposed while watching 3D images.
Contact the Toshiba Call Center for repair of your 3D glasses.
•Do not expose the battery to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire, or the like.
Caution
About the 3D glasses
•Do not use the 3D glasses if they are cracked, broken, or not working properly.
Continuing to use them in such a state may cause injury, eye strain, or indisposition.
•Do not stand or walk while wearing 3D glasses. You may lose your balance which could result in falls or other accidents.
•Do not wear the 3D glasses for any purpose other than viewing 3D programming.
3D glasses do not function as sunglasses.
•Do not drop, exert pressure on, or step on the 3D glasses.
Doing so may damage the glass section, which may result in injury.
Exposing the 3D glasses to liquid or excessive heat may damage the liquid crystal shutter function.
•If your nose or temple turns red, or you feel pain or discomfort, stop using the 3D glasses.
Such symptoms may occur when wearing 3D glasses for long periods of time.
•Observe the following for the battery of the 3D glasses:
-Do not use any battery other than the one specified.
-Do not use any battery with the polarity reversed.
-Do not charge, heat, disassemble, or short the battery.
Violation of the above may cause explosion or leakage of the battery, and a burn or injury may result.
Cautions on watching the 3D images
•Some viewers may experience a seizure or blackout when exposed to certain flashing images or lights contained in certain 3D television pictures or video games.
Anyone who has had a seizure, loss of awareness, or other symptom linked to an epileptic condition, or has a family history of epilepsy, should contact a health care provider before using the 3D function.
•Avoid using the 3D function when under the influence of alcohol.
•If you are ill or feel ill, you should refrain from viewing 3D images, and consult your health care provider as may be appropriate.
•If you experience any of the following symptoms when viewing 3D video images, stop viewing and contact your health care provider:
Convulsions, Eye or muscle twitching, Loss of awareness, Altered vision, Involuntary movements, Disorientation, Eye Strain, Nausea/Vomiting, Dizziness, Headaches.
•If you feel eye fatigue or other discomfort from viewing 3D video images, remove the 3D glasses and discontinue use until the condition is eliminated.
•Viewing in 3D may cause dizziness and/or disorientation for some viewers.
Therefore, to avoid injury do not place your TV near open stairwells, balconies, or wires.
Also do not sit near objects that could be broken if accidentally hit.
•When viewing 3D images, always wear 3D glasses. Watching 3D images without specified 3D glasses may cause eye strain.
•Do not wear 3D glasses or watch 3D images from steep angles or while lying down.
The 3D effect is lost in these conditions and eye strain may result.
•It is recommended that the viewer’s eyes and 3D glasses are level with the screen.
•If you have prescription eye glasses or contact lenses, wear the 3D glasses over them.
Watching 3D images without appropriate eyewear may cause eye strain.
•If 3D images often appear doubled or if you cannot see the images in 3D, stop viewing.
Continuous viewing may cause eye strain.
•Due to the possible impact on vision development, viewers of 3D video images should be age 6 or above. Children and teenagers may be more susceptible to health issues associated with viewing in 3D and should be closely supervised to avoid prolonged viewing without rest.
•Watching TV while sitting too close to the screen for an extended period of time may cause eye strain. The ideal viewing distance should be at least three times the screen height.

About lithium battery
•Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
Note: A lithium battery is included in the 3D glasses.
