CAREAND CLEANING
Please follow these simple guidelines when caring for and cleaning your i-glasses:
• Store your i-glasses in a safe, dust-free environment. Do not store your i-
glasses in location where they may collect excessive dirt, lint, or dust.
• Use care when transporting your i-glasses. We recommend you keep the
immersive visor on the unit to protect it from scratches during transport.
• Never immerse your i-glasses under liquids and avoid using cleaning solutions.
The foam forehead pad can be removed at the Velcro attachments for mainte-
nance and cleaning. We suggest using isopropyl alcohol to clean the foam pad.
• Always keep your i-glasses out of the sun and away from other sources of
extreme heat or extreme cold.
• Do not drop, hit, bend, or otherwise abuse your i-glasses or accessories.
• Do not leave your i-glasses turned on for extended periods of time, or when they
are not in use.
• Do not disassemble or try to repair your i-glasses in any way. Doing so will void
your warranty.
• Use only the AC power adapter included with your i-glasses. The use of any other
power supply may damage the i-glasses and void your warranty. When discon-
necting any plugs from the i-glasses unit, first turn the unit off. Carefully pull the
plug itself rather than the cord.
TROUBLESHOOTING
• Consult this manual and other materials that were included with your
i-glasses.
• Check the connections and peripherals.
• Check your video source.
• Look for your particular problem in this section of the manual.
• If you still cannot alleviate the problem, contact i-O Display System’s Technical
Support at 650-323-8407.
PROBLEM: MY TV DOESN’T HAVE RCA OR S-VIDEO JACKS
Many older television sets do not have RCA jacks built in. If this is the case with
your television and you wish to watch broadcast television with your i-glasses,
you must use your VCR’s RCA jacks instead. Keep your television and VCR
cable antenna hooked up as they are now. Then simply plug your i-glasses into
your VCR’s RCA output jacks, set your VCR to “VCR” (not “TV”) and use the tuner
on your VCR to select the station.
PROBLEM: NO POWER TO i-glasses - LIGHT IS NOT ILLUMINATED
• Check to ensure that the power supply is plugged in.
• Press the blue On/Off button.
• Check the cable connection on the i-glasses - make sure it is firmly
seated. Remove and reinsert.
• Call Technical Support.
PROBLEM: POWER LED LIGHT IS ON, BUT THERE IS NO VIDEO
SIGNAL
• Make sure your source device (VCR, DVD, PC, electronic game,
television) is on and functioning properly.
• Make sure the RCA plug is connected to the video source output.
• Check all connections to be sure they are seated correctly.
• Call Technical Support.
PROBLEM: VIDEO APPEARS IN ONE EYE ONLY
• Let the unit warm to room temperature if cold.
• Make sure the mode switch is on the STD setting.
• Unplug the power supply from the wall and then reconnect.
• Call Technical Support.
PROBLEM: POWER ON, VIDEO ON, BUT NO AUDIO SIGNAL IN i-glasses
• Press forward and hold the volume up (+) switch.
• Check the audio connections on the source device.
• Be sure the main cable is fully inserted into the i-glasses.
• Check the volume on your TV, to make sure the volume is turned up.
• Call Technical Support.
PROBLEM: AUDIO SIGNAL ONLY IN ONE EAR
• Check to ensure that both source cables are inserted into the video source.
• Be sure the main cable is firmly inserted into the i-glasses and the
speakers cover both ears.
• Turn off the i-glasses and turn back on.
• Call Technical Support.
Note - If your video source does not have stereo audio output, you will
need an audio Y cable to get sound in both speakers (optional)
PROBLEM: THE VIDEO IMAGE FUZZY
• Check the video connectors to be sure they are clean and fully inserted.
• i-glasses use LCD panels for imaging. i-glasses use the highest resolution, small
format LCD panels available on the market today, but they simply cannot give the
resolution you may be used to from your television screen or computer monitor.
• If you connect more than one pair of i-glasses to a single source via a video
splitter, you will see a degradation in image quality due to the splitting of the signal.
The use of a distribution amplifier (available at most electronic stores) may
improve image quality.
• Remove the static vinyl cover sheets
PROBLEM: THE BROW PIECE POPPED OUT. DO I NEED TO RETURN THE
UNIT?
Sometimes putting on and taking off the i-glasses can cause the brow piece to pop
out of its guides. If the pegs haven’t been broken, you can easily snap the brow
piece back into position by firmly pressing it into the brow piece guides on the i-
glasses main body.
