 >Viewing Time: Take regular breaks. a s with any time spent look-
ing at a computer screen, it is good practice to give your eyes a 
rest after a period of time. a t a minimum, rest for five (5) minutes 
after ever y hour of stereoscopic 3D viewing. 
 >Viewing with Prescription Glasses: If you normally wear glasses 
when viewing a computer screen, keep them on and put the wire-
less glasses over your eye wear. The sharper the image on the 
screen, the better the quality.
 >Game Cursor/Cross-hair Sights: If you are using the nVIDIa 3D 
laser sights, be sure to turn off the sight that the game provides. 
The game sight is usually positioned at screen-depth, and inter-
feres with useful viewing of the n VIDIa laser sight.
 >Display Lighting: The amount of light reaching each eye is cut in 
half, and causes the screen to appear darker under stereoscopic 
3D viewing. a djusting the brightness and contrast settings of your 
game can also reduce screen persistence and improve stereo-
scopic 3D quality.
 >Ambient Lighting: The intensity of surrounding lighting can affect 
stereoscopic 3D quality and comfor t. l ighting conditions that im-
prove stereoscopic 3D viewing var y from one person to the next, 
so experiment with brighter or darker room lighting to find what 
works best for you. see Tips and Troubleshooting on page 37.
Note: High intensity lighting (especially halogen lighting) can inter fere with IR communication (between the wireless glasses and the IR emitter) resulting in some flicker.

n VIDI a recommends you register your wireless glasses 
for support at w w w.nvidia.com/3dvision/register. The

3D Vision is not Working 
 >m ake sure you have activated the IR emitter. Press the green ON/
OFF button on the front of the emitter. The emitter is on when the 
button is bright green.
 >Check and make sure that stereoscopic 3D is enabled. Go to the 
nVIDI a Control Panel Set Up Stereoscopic 3D screen.
 >Re-evaluate your setup. ensure there is direct line-of-sight 
between the IR emitter and your wireless glasses at a range of  
at least 1.5 feet (45cm) or greater. a ny obstructions may cause  
the glasses not to function properly causing the lenses to flicker 
or turn off.

Do not place objects too close or in front of the emitter which 
could block the signal (e.g. keyboard, coffee mug, etc.). a lso, 
make sure not to place your hand or other objects in front the of 
the IR receiver on the glasses; located near the front left lens.
 >Run the setup Wizard to verif y your hardware is operating 
properly. Go to the n VIDIa Control Panel (right click on the 
desktop). s elect Set Up 3D Vision. Then select Run Setup Wizard 
from Test Stereoscopic 3D drop down menu.
 >Ensure your wireless glasses are fully charged. 
You can check the batter y level of your glasses by pressing  
the ON button. 
•	If the light next to the button is green, you have up to 60 hours 
of batter y life remaining. a ctual batter y life is dependent on 
the recharge time. 
•	If the light is red, you have less than two hours remaining and 
it is recommended that you recharged your glasses. 
•	If the light does not turn on, the batter y is drained and the 
glasses must be recharged.
If you are charging the wireless glasses by connecting them to 
your PC using a Usb cable, make sure your PC does not go into 
power save mode. When your PC goes into power save mode, 
the wireless glasses are no longer charging. To fix this, disable 
any power saving options on your PC under the Windows Control 
Panel. alternatively, you can use a U sb wall charging device to 
charge the glasses directly from your wall power outlet without 
connecting to the PC.
 >Make sure you have used the DVI cable that was shipped with 
your 3D Ready 120Hz LCD display. This is a dual-link cable and 
3D Vision will not operate without it.
Note: This requirement is not for notebook PCs with built-in 3D Vision lCD panels.
Image is not Clear
Your eyes are not a djusted
Your eyes may take some time to adjust to viewing stereoscopic 3D 
effects. If you are new to gaming, make sure you star t your depth 
amount at the default of 15%. a s your eyes adjust, you can increase 
the depth amount.

							TIPs an D TR oU bles Hoo TInG39
Depth n eeds adjusting
adjust depth amount using the slider on the n VIDIa Control Panel 
Setup screen. If you are in a game, use the thumb wheel on the back 
of the IR emitter or the shor tcut keys Ctrl+F3 to decrease depth and 
Ctrl+F4 to increase depth. 
Game is not Configured Properly
If your game is not functioning in stereoscopic 3D, look at the list 
of compatible games shown on the n VIDIa Control Panel View 
Compatibility with Games screen. 
Verif y that your game has been tested by n VIDIa and has been ranked 
as 3D Vision-Ready, Excellent, Good, or fair. Check out the Issues 
and recommended settings listed at the bottom of the screen. m ake 
any adjustments recommended by n VIDIa to make your gaming 
experience better.
If it has a Not Recommended rating, it means that the game does not 
show in stereoscopic 3D or it shows ver y poorly. 
make sure you are running your game in resolutions that suppor t 3D 
Vision. In order to suppor t 3D Vision, your game must be configured 
to run at the correct settings for your display.
Game is not in f ullscreen mode
3D Vision currently only suppor ts full screen applications and cannot 
run in windowed mode. b e sure to select full screen mode from in-
game settings.
excessive f lickering
flicker in your peripheral vision can be caused by differences in 
frequencies at which 3D Vision operates and the lighting in your 
room. This type of flicker can be avoided by turning off the lights or 
changing the stereoscopic 3D refresh rate. To see the refresh rates, 
run the s etup Wizard from the n VIDIa Control Panel. When  
you get to the page asking about flicker, select Ye s. You can then 
select from the following refresh rates:
 >120 Hz refresh rate for use in n or th america when lights are on 
 >110 Hz refresh rate for day time and when lights are off 
 >100 Hz refresh rate for countries with 50 Hz lighting and when 
lights are on

once you have selected a refresh rate on the Setup Wizard screen, 
click the Test with this refresh rate button to verif y the new refresh 
rate helps to reduce flicker. o nce you have found the best setting, 
select Next to continue (see step 17 on page 18 for the procedure on 
how to reset the refresh rate).
Eyestrain/Headache
If you are experiencing eyestrain or headaches, it 
could be due to excessive depth amount. Change 
the depth in one of the following ways:
 >In-game adjustment, use the shor tcut keys Ctrl+F3 to decrease 
the depth amount.
 >Use the thumb wheel on the back of the IR emitter to adjust the 
depth amount. If you are new to gaming, star t at the default 15%. 
 >Use your mouse to adjust depth amount on the slider in the 
nVIDI a Control Panel Set Up Stereoscopic 3D screen.
If you are new to gaming, star t at the default (15%).
Warning: If eyestrain and headaches persist, discontinue viewing in stereoscopic 3D and consult a doctor.
No Laser Sight
laser s ight is not e nabled
If you do not see the laser sight in a game, the laser sight may not 
be enabled. Go to the n VIDIa Control Panel Set Up Stereoscopic 3D 
screen and click on the Change 3D laser Sight button to display 
the Change 3D Laser Sight screen. m ake sure the Enable 3D laser 
sight for configured games is checked (see Change 3D Laser Sight 
on page 28).
Transparency s et too High
Go to the nVIDIa Control Panel Set Up Stereoscopic 3D screen and 
click on the Change 3D laser Sight button. a djust the Transparency 
slider to adjust the transparency of the laser sight.
