3D Safety Requirements
• 3D Glasses are NOT designed as sunglasses or safety
glasses and do not provide protection. 3D glasses should
be worn only when viewing 3D material.
• Do not wear the wireless glasses in any situations that
require unimpaired visual perception.
• Children under the age of 5 should not view 3D pro-
gramming.
Under normal conditions, 3D viewing is safe for your movies
or games. Some people may experience discomfort, however.
To minimize the potential for experiencing visual problems or
any adverse symptoms:
• Read and follow any and all safety warnings that accom-
pany your 3D glasses or 3D source devices.
• Maintain a distance of no less than 2 to 2.5 times the
screen height measurement away from the display.
Viewing from too short a distance can strain your eyes.
• Take regular breaks, at least 5 minutes after every hour of
3D viewing.
If you experience any of the following symptoms, discontinue
3D viewing until the symptoms go away:
° nausea, dizziness, or queasiness,
• headache, or eyestrain,
• blurry 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 com-
pletely gone away. If symptoms persist, discontinue use and
do not resume 3D viewing without discussing your symptoms
with a physician.
Do not use the glasses where loss of balance or limiting your
field of vision may be dangerous to you.
Do not use near staircases, ledges or balconies. You may risk
falling during or after use.
