3D
The 3D Active Glasses may not work
properly if there is any other 3D
product or electronic devices turned on
near the glasses or TV.
If there is a problem, keep other electronic devices as far away as possible from the 3D Active

Glasses.
You may notice a small amount of
screen flickering when watching
3D images in poor light conditions
(from a strobe light, etc.), or under a
fluorescent lamp (50Hz ~ 60Hz) or 3
wavelength lamp.
If so, dim the light or turn the lamp off.
•
The ideal viewing distance should be
three times or more the height of the
screen.
We recommend sitting with viewer's eyes on a level with the screen.
•
If you leave 3D Active Glasses on,
battery lifespan is shortened.
Turn off 3D Active Glasses while not using them.
