About handling the 3D glasses
• Do not leave the 3D glasses 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 re or cause you to become
indisposed while viewing 3D images.
• Do not expose the glasses to excessive heat
such as sunshine, re, 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 any
pain or discomfort, stop using the 3D glasses.
Such symptoms may occur when wearing 3D
glasses for long periods of time.
• Be careful not to pinch your ngers in the hinge
of the 3D glasses.

Cautions on watching the 3D images

• Some viewers may experience a seizure or
blackout when exposed to certain ashing
images or lights contained in certain 3D
television pictures or video games.
Anyone who has had a seizure, loss of awareness,
or other symptoms linked to an epileptic condition,
or has a family history of epilepsy, should contact a
health care provider before using the 3D function.
- 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.
• Avoid using the 3D function when under the
inuence 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 3D glasses may
cause eye strain.
Use specied 3D glasses.
• When watching 3D images, do not wear 3D
glasses at an angle and do not lie down.
If you watch while lying down or with the glasses
tilted, the 3D effect is lost and it may cause eye
strain.
• 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 in double or if you
cannot see the images in 3D, stop viewing.
Continuous viewing may cause eye strain.
