Safety Precautions for 3D glasses
Note: See p. 32 for compatible type of 3D glasses. 3D
glasses not included.
Warning
About han d lin g the 3D g lasses
• Do not leave the 3D g lasses, the battery, or the
accessories within the reach of small chil d ren.
Inhaling or swallowing them may cause suffocation or
lesions in the stomach wall.
If swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.
• Do not repair, mo d ify, or d isassemble the 3D g lasses
by yourself.
Doing so may cause a fire or cause you to become
indisposed while watching 3D images.
Contact the Toshiba Call Center for repair of your 3D
glasses.
• Do not expose the battery to excessive heat such as
sunshine, fire, or the like.
Caution
About the 3D g lasses
• Do not use the 3D g lasses if they are cracke d , broken,
or not workin g properly.
Continuing to use them in such a state may cause injury,
eye strain, or indisposition.
• Do not stan d or walk while wearin g 3D g lasses.
You may lose your balance which could result in falls or
other accidents.
• Do not wear the 3D g lasses for any purpose other
than viewin g 3D pro g rammin g .
3D glasses do not function as sunglasses.
• Do not d rop, exert pressure on, or step on the 3D
g lasses.
Doing so may damage the glass section, which may
result in injury.
Exposing the 3D glasses to liquid or excessive heat may
damage the liquid crystal shutter function.
• If your nose or temple turns re d , or you feel pain or
d iscomfort, stop usin g the 3D g lasses.
Such symptoms may occur when wearing 3D glasses for
long periods of time.
• Observe the followin g for the battery of the 3D
g lasses:
- Do not use any battery other than the one specified.
- Do not use any battery with the polarity reversed.
- Do not charge, heat, disassemble, or short the battery.
Violation of the above may cause explosion or leakage of
the battery, and a burn or injury may result.
Cautions on watchin g the 3D ima g es
• S ome viewers may experience a seizure or blackout
when expose d to certain flashin g ima g es or li g hts
containe d in certain 3D television pictures or vi d eo
g ames.
Anyone who has had a seizure, loss of awareness, or
other symptom linked to an epileptic condition, or has a
family history of epilepsy, should contact a health care
provider before using the 3D function.
• Avoi d usin g the 3D function when un d er the influence
of alcohol.
• If you are ill or feel ill, you shoul d refrain from viewin g
3D ima g es, an d consult your health care provi d er as
may be appropriate.
• If you experience any of the followin g symptoms
when viewin g 3D vi d eo ima g es, stop viewin g an d
contact your health care provi d er:
Convulsions, Eye or muscle twitching, Loss of
awareness, Altered vision, Involuntary movements,
Disorientation, Eye Strain, Nausea/Vomiting, Dizziness,
Headaches.
• If you feel eye fati g ue or other d iscomfort from
viewin g 3D vi d eo ima g es, remove the 3D g lasses an d
d iscontinue use until the con d ition is eliminate d .
• Viewin g in 3D may cause d izziness an d /or
d isorientation for some viewers.
Therefore, to avoid injury do not place your TV near open
stairwells, balconies, or wires.
Also do not sit near objects that could be broken if
accidentally hit.
• When viewin g 3D ima g es, always wear 3D g lasses.
Watching 3D images without specified 3D glasses may
cause eye strain.
• Do not wear 3D g lasses or watch 3D ima g es from
steep an g les or while lyin g d own.
The 3D effect is lost in these conditions and eye strain
may result.
• It is recommen d e d that the viewer’s eyes an d 3D
g lasses are level with the screen.
• If you have prescription eye g lasses or contact
lenses, wear the 3D g lasses over them.
Watching 3D images without appropriate eyewear may
cause eye strain.
• If 3D ima g es often appear d ouble d or if you cannot
see the ima g es in 3D, stop viewin g .
Continuous viewing may cause eye strain.
• Due to the possible impact on vision d evelopment,
viewers of 3D vi d eo ima g es shoul d be a g e 6 or above.
Children and teenagers may be more susceptible to
health issues associated with viewing in 3D and should
be closely supervised to avoid prolonged viewing without
rest.
• Watchin g TV while sittin g too close to the screen for
an exten d e d perio d of time may cause eye strain.
The ideal viewing distance should be at least three times
the screen height.
