3D Safety Information - HP Envy 17-3070 Getting Started

3D safety information

Carefully read all of the following safety precautions before using the 3D glasses and 3D Cinema
Technology.
WARNING! If you cannot see 3D content after you set up 3D Cinema Technology, HP recommends
that you discontinue use. Consult a physician if you suspect a physical problem seeing stereoscopic
3D.
Photosensitive Epileptic Seizures—Some individuals may experience a seizure or other
complications when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may
appear in 3D content. If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a
physician before using the 3D glasses and 3D Cinema Technology. Even those without a personal
family history of epilepsy or stroke may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause photosensitive
epileptic seizures.
If you experience any of the following symptoms, immediately stop watching 3D content and consult a
physician: altered vision, light-headedness, dizziness, involuntary movements such as eye or
muscle twitching, convulsions, nausea, loss of awareness, confusion, cramps, and/or
disorientation. Parents should monitor and ask their children if they have any of the above
symptoms. Children and teenagers may be more likely to experience these symptoms than adults.
Do not watch 3D content when you feel sleepy, tired, or sick. Watching 3D with the 3D glasses for an
extended period of time may cause a headache or fatigue. If you feel headache, fatigue, or dizziness,
stop using the 3D glasses and rest.
Your vision can change to accommodate viewing through the 3D glasses. After removing the 3D
glasses, wait several minutes before resuming regular activities.
Some 3D content may startle viewers. People who are pregnant, elderly, or epileptic, and those
suffering from severe physical conditions are advised to avoid using the computer's 3D functionality.
The vision of young children (especially children under the age of 6) is still under development.
Consult your doctor (such as a pediatrician or eye doctor) before allowing young children to watch 3D
video images or play 3D video games. Parents or guardians should supervise young children to
ensure that they follow these recommendations.
Choking Hazard—The 3D glasses contain small parts and are not intended for babies and small
children.
Do not use the 3D glasses near water.
The lenses in the 3D glasses contain glass. To reduce the risk of damage to the lenses, use caution
when using the glasses and properly store them when not in use. Do not use the glasses if there is
any sign of damage or cracking in the lenses.
The 3D glasses are not prescription eyewear, sunglasses, or protective goggles. To reduce the risk of
personal injury, do not use the glasses for any general eyewear purposes.
