Safety Precautions for 3D glasses
Note: See p. 32 for compatible type of 3D glasses. 3D
glasses not included.
Warning
About handling the 3D glasses
Do not leave the 3D glasses, the battery, or the
accessories within the reach of small children.
Inhaling or swallowing them may cause suffocation or
lesions in the stomach wall.
If swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.
•Do not repair, modify, or disassemble the 3D glasses
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 glasses
• Do not use the 3D glasses if they are cracked, broken,
or not working properly.
Continuing to use them in such a state may cause injury,
eye strain, or indisposition.
•Do not stand or walk while wearing 3D glasses.
You may lose your balance which could result in falls or
other accidents.
Do not wear the 3D glasses for any purpose other
than viewing 3D programming.
3D glasses do not function as sunglasses.
•Do not drop, exert pressure on, or step on the 3D
glasses.
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 red, or you feel pain or
discomfort, stop using the 3D glasses.
Such symptoms may occur when wearing 3D glasses for
long periods of time.
Observe the following for the battery of the 3D
glasses:
- 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 watching the 3D images
Some viewers may experience a seizure or blackout
when exposed to certain flashing images or lights
contained in certain 3D television pictures or video
games.
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.
•Avoid using the 3D function when under the influence
of alcohol.
• If you are ill or feel ill, you should refrain from viewing
3D images, and consult your health care provider as
may be appropriate.
If you experience any of the following symptoms
when viewing 3D video images, stop viewing and
contact your health care provider:
Convulsions, Eye or muscle twitching, Loss of
awareness, Altered vision, Involuntary movements,
Disorientation, Eye Strain, Nausea/Vomiting, Dizziness,
Headaches.
If you feel eye fatigue or other discomfort from
viewing 3D video images, remove the 3D glasses and
discontinue use until the condition is eliminated.
•Viewing in 3D may cause dizziness and/or
disorientation 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 viewing 3D images, always wear 3D glasses.
Watching 3D images without specified 3D glasses may
cause eye strain.
•Do not wear 3D glasses or watch 3D images from
steep angles or while lying down.
The 3D effect is lost in these conditions and eye strain
may result.
It is recommended that the viewer’s eyes and 3D
glasses are level with the screen.
If you have prescription eye glasses or contact
lenses, wear the 3D glasses over them.
Watching 3D images without appropriate eyewear may
cause eye strain.
•If 3D images often appear doubled or if you cannot
see the images in 3D, stop viewing.
Continuous viewing may cause eye strain.
Due to the possible impact on vision development,
viewers of 3D video images should be age 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.
•Watching TV while sitting too close to the screen for
an extended period of time may cause eye strain.
The ideal viewing distance should be at least three times
the screen height.
About lithium battery
•Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
Note: A lithium battery is included in the 3D glasses.
