Care 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.
• Do not expose the 3D glasses to direct sunlight, heat, fire or
water. This may result in a product malfunction or fire.
• Do not drop, bend or apply force to the lenses of the 3D
glasses.
• Use a clean soft cloth (microfiber or cotton flannel) to clean
the lenses to avoid scratching them. Never spray cleaner directly
onto the 3D glasses. This may damage the electronics (for
Active 3D glasses).

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 meters 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.
