Viewing 3D images 
on TV
 Using Precautions
 
■ Lens
● 
 Do not apply pressure to the liquid crystal shutter. 
Also, do not drop or bend the 3D Eyewear
.
●   Do not scratch the surface of the liquid crystal shutter 
with a pointed instrument etc. Doing so may cause 
damage to the 3D Eyewear

, and reduce the quality of 
the 3D image.
 
■ Cautions during viewing
● 
 Do not use devices that emit strong electromagnetic 
waves (such as cellular phones or personal 
transceivers) near the 3D Eyewear
. Doing so may 
cause the 3D Eyewear to malfunction.
●   The 3D Eyewear cannot operate fully at high or low 
temperatures. Please use within the specified usage 
temperature range.
●   If the 3D Eyewear is used in a room in which 
fluorescent lights (50 Hz) are used, the light within the 
room may appear to be flickering. In this case, either 
darken or switch of

f the fluorescent lights when using 
the 3D Eyewear.
●   Wear the 3D Eyewear correctly. 3D images will not 
be correctly visible if the 3D Eyewear is worn upside 
down or back-to-front.
●   Other kinds of displays (such as computer screens, 
digital clocks, or calculators etc.) may be dif

ficult to 
see while wearing the 3D Eyewear. Do not wear the 
3D Eyewear when watching anything other than 3D 
images.
 
■ For comfortable viewing
● 
 View from at least the recommended distance 
(3 times the ef
fective height of the screen),
 Recommended Distance:  For a 85-inch television, 10.5 ft (3.2 m) or more
 When the top and bottom area of the screen are 
blackened, such as when playing movies, view 
the screen at a distance 3 times further than 
the height of the actual image. (That makes the 
viewing distance closer than above recommended 
distance.)
●   Stop using the 3D Eyewear immediately if your skin 
feels unusual. In rare cases, the paint or materials 
used in the 3D Eyewear may cause an allergic 
reaction.
●   Stop using the 3D Eyewear immediately if you 
experience any redness, pain, or itching on the 
nose or temples. Prolonged use may cause such 
symptoms due to excess pressure, which may result 
in the user feeling unwell.
●   Use in area of Bluetooth
® signals from other devices 
may interfere with 3D Eyewear operation.
 
■ Using radio waves

 The range may be less depending on the structure 
of the building, the environment and any obstacles 
between the receiver and the transmitter

. Such 
obstacles as reinforced concrete walls and metal 
doors, in particular, obstruct the transmitter’s signals.
●   Interference from other equipment
 Due to radio interference, malfunctions may occur if 
the unit is placed too close to other equipment. W

e 
recommend keeping the unit as far away as possible 
from the following devices:
 Bluetooth
® devices other than this unit, wireless 
LAN, microwaves, office automation devices, digital 
cordless telephones and other electronic devices.

Care and Cleaning
 First, unplug the power cord plug from 
the wall outlet.
 Display panel
 The front of the display panel has been specially treated. 
Wipe the panel surface gently using only a cleaning 
cloth or a soft, lint-free cloth.●   If the surface is particularly dirty after cleaning up the 
dust, soak a soft, lint-free cloth in diluted, mild liquid 
dish soap (1 part mild liquid dish soap diluted by 
100 times the amount of water), and then wring the 
cloth to remove excess liquid. Use this cloth to wipe 
the surface of the display panel, then wipe it evenly 
with a dry cloth of the same type until the surface is 
dry

.
●   Do not scratch or hit the surface of the panel with 
fingernails or other hard objects. Furthermore, avoid 
contact with volatile substances such as insect 
sprays, solvents, and thinner; otherwise, the quality of 
the surface may be adversely af

fected.
 Cabinet
 If the cabinet becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.●   If the cabinet is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in 
diluted, mild liquid dish soap and then wring the cloth 
dry

. Use this cloth to wipe the cabinet and then wipe it 
dry with a dry cloth.
●   Do not allow any mild liquid dish soap to come into 
direct contact with the surface of the 

TV. If water 
droplets get inside the unit, operating problems may 
result.
●   Avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect 
sprays, solvents, and thinner; otherwise, the quality of 
the cabinet surface may be adversely af

fected or the 
coating may peel off.
●   Do not let articles made from rubber or PVC be in 
contact with the 

TV for long periods of time.
 Pedestal
 Cleaning
●   Wipe the surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. If the unit is 
particularly dirty

, clean it using a cloth soaked with 
water to which a small amount of mild liquid dish 
soap has been added and then wipe with a dry cloth. 
Do not use products such as solvents, thinner, or 
household wax for cleaning, as they can damage the 
surface coating.
 Note:  If using a chemically-treated cloth, follow the  instructions supplied with the cloth.
●   Do not attach sticky tape or labels, as they can make 
the surface of the pedestal dirty

. Do not allow long-
term contact with rubber, vinyl products, or the like. 
(Doing so will cause deterioration.)
 Power cord plug
 Wipe the plug with a dry cloth at regular intervals.
 Note:  Moisture and dust can lead to fire or electrical  shock.
 3D Eyewear
●  Clean using a soft, dry cloth.
●   Wiping the 3D Eyewear with a soft cloth that is 
covered in dust or dirt may scratch the eyewear

. 
Shake off any dust from the cloth before use.
●   Do not use benzene, thinner, or wax on the 3D 
Eyewear

, as doing so may cause the paint to peel off.
●   Do not dunk the 3D Eyewear in liquid such as water 
when cleaning.
●   Avoid storing the 3D Eyewear in hot or highly humid 
locations.
●   As the liquid crystal shutters (lens) are fragile and 
easily broken, be very careful when cleaning them.
 Back panel (Cooling fan)
●  The main unit is equipped with a cooling fan on the 
back side. 
To remove dust or other foreign materials 
adhering to the fan, vacuum it attaching lightly the 
opening of the suction nozzle of a vacuum cleaner to
