3D Safety Requirements
•
3D Glasses are NOT designed as sunglasses or safety glasses and do not provide
protection. 3D glasses should be worn only when viewing 3D material.
•
Do not wear the wireless glasses in any situations that require unimpaired visual
perception.
•
Children under the age of 5 should not view 3D programming.
Under normal conditions, 3D viewing is safe for your movies or games. Some people
may experience discomfort, however. To minimize the potential for experiencing visual
problems or any adverse symptoms:
•
Read and follow any and all safety warnings that accompany your 3D glasses or 3D
source devices.
•
Maintain a distance of no less than 2 to 2.5 times the screen height measurement
away from the display. Viewing from too short a distance can strain your eyes.
•
Take regular breaks, at least 5 minutes after every hour of 3D viewing.
If you experience any of the following symptoms, discontinue 3D viewing until the symp-
toms go away:
•
nausea, dizziness, or queasiness,
•
headache, or eyestrain,
•
blurry vision,
•
double vision that lasts longer than a few seconds,
Do not engage in any potentially hazardous activity (for example, driving a vehicle) until
your symptoms have completely gone away. If symptoms persist, discontinue use and
do not resume 3D viewing without discussing your symptoms with a physician.
Do not use the glasses where loss of balance or limiting your field of vision may be
dangerous to you.
Do not use near staircases, ledges or balconies. You may risk falling during or after
use.
