IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Viewing 3D Imaging
WARNING
Viewing Environment
Viewing Time
y
- When watching 3D content, take 5 - 15
minute breaks every hour. Viewing 3D
content for a long period of time may
cause headache, dizziness, fatigue or eye
strain.
Those that have a photosensitive seizure
or chronic illness
Some users may experience a seizure or other
y
abnormal symptoms when they are exposed
to a flashing light or particular pattern from 3D
content.
Do not watch 3D videos if you feel nauseous,
y
are pregnant and/ or have a chronic illness such
as epilepsy, cardiac disorder, or blood pressure
disease, etc.
3D Content is not recommended for those
y
who suffer from stereo blindness or stereo
anomaly. Double images or discomfort in
viewing may be experienced.
If you have strabismus (cross-eyed), amblyopia
y
(weak eyesight) or astigmatism, you may have
trouble sensing depth and easily feel fatigue
due to double images. It is advised to take
frequent breaks than the average adult.
If your eyesight varies between your right and
y
left eye, revise your eyesight prior to watching
3D content.
Symptoms which require discontinuation
or refraining from watching 3D content
Do not watch 3D content when you feel
y
fatigue from lack of sleep, overwork or
intoxication.
When these symptoms are experienced, stop
y
using/watching 3D content and get enough
rest until the symptom subsides.
- Consult your doctor when the symptoms
persist. Symptoms may include headache,
eyeball pain, dizziness, nausea, palpitation,
blurriness, discomfort, double image, visual
inconvenience or fatigue.
CAUTION
Viewing Environment
Viewing Distance
y
- Maintain a distance of at least twice the
screen diagonal length when watching 3D
content. If you feel discomfort in viewing
3D content, move further away from the
TV.
Viewing Age
Infants / Children
y
- Usage/ Viewing 3D content for children
under the age of 5 are prohibited.
- Children under the age of 10 may overreact
and become overly excited because their
vision is in development (for example: trying
to touch the screen or trying to jump into
it. Special monitoring and extra attention is
required for children watching 3D content.
- Children have greater binocular disparity of
3D presentations than adults because the
distance between the eyes is shorter than
one of adults. Therefore they will perceive
more stereoscopic depth compared to
adults for the same 3D image.
Teenagers
y
- Teenagers under the age of 19 may be
stimulated to light coming from 3D videos.
Advise them not to watch 3D videos for a
long time when they are tired.
Elderly
y
- The elderly may perceive less of a 3D
effect than the youth. Do not sit closer to
the TV than the recommended distance.
Cautions when using the 3D glasses
Only use LG 3D glasses. Otherwise, you may
y
not be able to view 3D videos properly.
Do not use 3D glasses instead of your normal
y
glasses, sunglasses or protective goggles.
Using modified 3D glasses may cause eye
y
strain or image distortion.
Do not keep your 3D glasses in extremely
y
high or low temperatures. It will cause
deformation.
The 3D glasses are fragile and are easy to
y
scratched. Use a soft, clean piece of cloth
when wiping the lenses. Do not scratch the
lenses of the 3D glasses with sharp objects
or clean/wipe them with chemicals.
