System Requirements
before you begin, please review the following minimum system 
requirements to ensure your PC meets the hardware requirements 
necessar y to enjoy the 3D Vision experience.
for a full list of s ystem Requirements including suppor ted n VIDIa 
GPUs, 3D Vision-Ready l CDs, 3D Vision notebooks and other required 
components, please visit w w w.nvidia.co.uk/get3D and select System 
Requirements.
Safety Requirements
Do not wear the wireless glasses in any situations that require 
unimpaired visual perception. Do not use the glasses as sunglasses.
Under normal conditions, stereoscopic 3D viewing is safe for any 
duration that you would normally view your display. However, some 
people may experience discomfor t. To minimise the potential for 
experiencing visual problems or any adverse symptoms:
 >Take the stereoscopic 3D medical test to verif y your ability so see 
stereoscopic 3D images.
 >maintain a distance no closer than 2 to 2.5 feet away from the 
display. Viewing from too close a distance can strain your eyes. 
 >Take regular breaks, at least 5 minutes after ever y hour of 
stereoscopic 3D viewing.
 >star t with the depth at the default of 15%. a s you get more 
comfor table viewing stereoscopic 3D, you can increase the  
depth amount.
 >If you experience any of the following symptoms:
•	nausea, dizziness, or queasiness,
•	headache, or eyestrain,
•	blurr y vision,
•	double vision that lasts longer than a few seconds,
Do not engage in any potentially hazardous activity (for example, 
driving a vehicle) until your symptoms have completely gone away.
If symptoms persist, discontinue use and do not resume stereoscopic 
3D viewing without discussing your symptoms  
with a doctor.

The following people should consult a doctor before viewing in stereoscopic 3D: 
 >Children under 5 years of age 
 >a nyone with a histor y of epilepsy, or who has a family member with a history of epilepsy
 >anyone who has ever experienced epileptic seizures or sensor y disturbances triggered by flashing light effects.
WARNING! SOME LIGHT PATTERNS MAY INDUCE SEIZURES IN PERSONS WITH NO PRIOR HISTORY OF EPILEPSY. DISCONTINUE STEREOSCOPIC 3D USE IF YOU EXPERIENCE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING SYMPTOMS WHILE VIEWING STEREOSCOPIC 3D IMAGES.
 >Involuntary movements, eye or muscle twitching
 >muscle cramps 
 >Nausea, dizziness, or queasiness  
 >Convulsions 
 >Disorientation, confusion, or loss of awareness of  your surroundings
Do not engage in any potentially hazardous activity (for example, driving a vehicle) until your symptoms have completely gone away.

Prior to unpacking your new n VIDIa 3D Vision box, it is a good idea 
to make sure you meet all the system requirements (page 2) for a 
smooth installation.
be sure to inspect each piece of equipment shipped in the packing 
box. If any thing is missing or damaged, contact your reseller.
Wireless Glasses
Charging the Glasses
Note: We recommended that you fully charge your glasses  now since it will take approximately three hours to complete.  
The wireless glasses hold approximately 60-hours of gaming  per full charge. 
The wireless glasses require periodic charging. To charge the 
glasses, use one of the U sb cables that came with the kit. Plug one 
end into the glasses and the other to any U sb por t on your system. 
You can also use a Usb wall adapter to charge your glasses. Charge 
your glasses until the a mber charge light goes out. You can use 
wireless glasses while they are being charged.

Indicator Light: To check the batter y life, press the ON button.  If the indicator light is:  Green: Up to 60 hours of batter y life.  Red: flashing red indicates two hours or less batter y life 
Amber LED: light flashes amber  when charging. s olid amber when  fully charged.
Usb connection to charge glasses
 
 
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. a lternatively, 
you can use a Usb wall charging device to charge the glasses directly 
from your wall power outlet without connecting to the PC. You can 
use your glasses while they are charging.
Using the Glasses
It is a good idea to keep the glasses in the protective pouch when you 
are not using them. When wearing your glasses, you must be in-line-
of-sight with the IR emitter. Press the ON button to turn the glasses 
on. The glasses turn off automatically when there is no activity.
Caution: The wireless glasses are not prescription eye wear, sunglasses, nor a protective goggle. Do not use the glasses for any general eye wear purposes (e.g., driving, reading, protection from sunlight or ultraviolet light, etc.) as such use 
may result in injur y.

USB IR Emitter  
(included with the 3D Vision glasses kit)
3D Vision products such as desktop monitors, projectors, and some 
3D Vision notebooks use the U sb IR emitter to communicate to the 3D 
Vision glasses.  Please view the diagrams below for information on 
how to use your Usb IR emitter.
Note: some 3D Vision n otebook have a built-in 3D Vision IR emitter. Please check with your notebook manufacturer to 
determine if you need the U sb IR emitter.
There is a thumbwheel on the back of the emitter that can be used to 
increase/decrease depth in a game.
