Specifics • If a 3D TV broadcast is switched to 2D, the TV shows only the 3D -left picture. • 3D is not available in Multi view Optimal 3D viewing For an optimal 3D viewing experience, we recommend that you: • sit at least 3 times the height of the TV screen away from the TV, but no further than 6 metres away. • avoid fluorescent lighting (such as TL lighting or certain energy saving light bulbs which operate on a low frequency) and direct sunlight as they may interfere with the 3D experience. Health warning • If you or your family has a history of epilepsy or photosensitive seizures, consult a medical professional before exposing yourself to flashing light sources, rapid image sequences or 3D viewing. • To avoid discomfort such as dizziness, headache or disorientation, we recommend not watching 3D for extended periods of time. If you experience any discomfort, stop watching 3D and do not immediately engage in any potentially hazardous activity (for example driving a car) until your symptoms have disappeared. If symptoms persist, do not resume watching 3D without consulting a medical professional first. • Parents should monitor their children during 3D viewing and ensure they do not experience any discomfort as mentioned above. Watching 3D is not recommended for children under 6 years of age as their visual system is not fully developed yet. • Do not use the 3D glasses for any purpose other than watching 3D TV. • CHOKING HAZARD - Do not let children under 6 years of age play with the 3D glasses, they could choke on the battery lid or battery (if present). Cleaning and care • Do not expose the 3D glasses to direct sunlight, heat, fire or water. This may result in a product malfunction or fire. • Use a clean soft cloth (microfibre or cotton flannel) to clean the lenses to avoid scratching them. Never spray cleaner directly onto the 3D glasses. This may damage the electronics. • Do not drop, bend or apply force to the lenses of the 3D glasses. • Do not use cleaning chemicals containing alcohol, solvent, surfactant, or wax, benzene, thinner, mosquito repellent or lubricant. Using these chemicals can cause discoloration or cracks. 22Basics / 3D
