IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ THE FOLLOWING
WARNINGS BEFORE YOU OR YOUR CHILD USE THE 3D FUNCTION
Warning
Children and teenagers may be more susceptible to health issues
associated with viewing in 3D and should be closely supervised when
viewing these images.

Viewing 3D PROJECTOR using the 3D function

Usage Notice
Photosensitive Seizure Warning and Other Health Risks
Some viewers may experience an epileptic seizure or stroke when
exposed to certain ashing images or lights contained in certain Projec-
tor pictures or video games. If you suffer from, or have a family history
of epilepsy or strokes, please consult with a medical specialist before
using the 3D function.
Even those without a personal or family history of epilepsy or stroke
may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause photosensitive
epileptic seizures.
Pregnant women, the elderly, sufferers of serious medical conditions,
those who are sleep deprived or under the inuence of alcohol should
avoid utilizing the unit’s 3D functionality.
If you experience any of the following symptoms, stop viewing 3D pic-
tures immediately and consult a medical specialist: (1) altered vision;
(2) light-headedness; (3) dizziness; (4) involuntary movements such as
eye or muscle twitching; (5) confusion; (6) nausea; (7) loss of aware-
ness; (8) convulsions; (9) cramps; and/ or (10) disorientation. Children
and teenagers may be more likely than adults to experience these
symptoms. Parents should monitor their children and ask whether they
are experiencing these symptoms.
Viewing 3D PROJECTOR may also cause motion sickness, perceptual
after effects, disorientation, eye strain and decreased postural stability.
It is recommended that users take frequent breaks to lessen the poten-
tial of these effects. If your eyes show signs of fatigue or dryness or if
you have any of the above symptoms, immediately discontinue use of
this device and do not resume using it for at least thirty minutes after
the symptoms have subsided.
Watching 3D PROJECTOR while sitting too close to the screen for an
extended period of time may damage your eyesight. The ideal viewing
distance should be at least three times the screen height. It is recom-
mended that the viewer's eyes are level with the screen.
Watching 3D PROJECTOR while wearing 3D glasses for an extended
period of time may cause a headache or fatigue. If you experience a
headache, fatigue or dizziness, stop viewing 3D PROJECTOR and
rest.
Do not use the 3D glasses for any other purpose than for viewing 3D
PROJECTOR. Wearing the 3D glasses for any other purpose (as gen-
eral spectacles, sunglasses, protective goggles, etc.) may be physically
harmful to you and may weaken your eyesight.
Viewing in 3D may cause disorientation for some viewers. Accordingly,
DO NOT place your 3D PROJECTOR near open stairwells, cables,
balconies, or other objects that can be tripped over, run into, knocked
down, broken or fallen over.

Using the 3D Glasses(*)
To turn ON 3D glasses: Press the “Power” button and the LED will
ash one time indicating the glasses are ready to use 3D mode.
Verify that 3D content is being sent to the projector and signal is com-
patible with projector specications.
Turn on “3D Mode” (DLP-Link) in projector OSD menu. 3D mode is
located in the “Display” section.
Turn on 3D glasses and verify image appears in 3D without eyestrain.
If the image does not appear in 3D, please check 3D device set up
well to send out 3D image or not. Or SBS mode should turn on when
input signal is 2D 1080i side-by-side and repeat previous steps 1 ~ 4.
If necessary, use your projector’s 3D Sync-Invert option to optimize
your 3D experience. The option is located in the “Display” section of
the projector OSD menu.
For additional setup information, please refer to the projector user’s

This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interfer-
ence in a residential installation. This device generates, uses and can ra-
diate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
