17. IMPORTANT HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION FOR 3D TELEVISIONS
Read the following information before viewing 3D television images.
Ambient fluorescent lighting may cause a flickering effect and direct sunlight
may adversely affect the operation of your 3D glasses.
1.
DO NOT place your television near open stairwells, balconies or other objects as
viewing in 3D images may cause disorientation for some viewers resulting in falls,
tripping or walking into objects.
2.
If you experience (1) altered vision; (2) lightheadedness; (3) dizziness; (4) involuntary
movements such as eye or muscle twitching; (5) confusion; (6) nausea; (7) loss of
awareness; (8) convulsions; (9) cramps; and/or (10) disorientation, immediately stop
watching 3D images and consult your doctor.
3.
Parents should regularly monitor their children concerning the above symptoms
as children and teenagers may be more likely to experience these symptoms more
frequently than adults. Watching 3D television is not recommended for children
under the age of 6 as their visual system is not yet fully developed.
4.
Prolonged viewing of 3D images might cause discomfort, dizziness, eye strain,
headaches or disorientation.
5.
CAUTION NOTICE:
Some viewers may experience an epileptic seizure or stroke when exposed to
certain flashing images or lights contained in certain television pictures or video
games. If you or any of your family has a history of epilepsy or stroke, please
consult your doctor before viewing 3D images.
1.
DO NOT watch 3D television if you are pregnant, elderly, sleep-deprived, suffering
from serious medical conditions, in poor physical condition or under the influence
of alcohol.
2.
Sitting too close to the screen for an extended period of time may damage your
eyesight. The ideal distance should be at least three times the height of the TV screen
and at the viewer's eyes level.
3.
Wearing the 3D glasses for any reason other than viewing 3D television (as general
spectacles, sunglasses, protective goggles, etc.) may physically harm you or weaken
your eyesight.
4.
If you experience any discomfort while viewing 3D images, stop and do not
immediately engage in any potentially hazardous activity such as driving a car
until your symptoms have disappeared. If your symptoms persist, do not resume
watching 3D images without consulting your doctor.
