(Normally,youwouldreleasethebuttonatthispointtopowerontheglasses.)Donotreleasethe
buttonaftertheblueLEDcomeson,keepholdingdownthebutton.Afterabout10secondsoftheblue
LEDonsolidtheblueLEDwillstarttopulsewiththesame“heartbeat”patternusedbytheemitterin
pairingmode.(Whenyouseetheheartbeatpattern,youmustreleasethebuttonwithin20secondsor
thedevicewillgointoRestoreFactoryDefaultsmode.)
Theglasseswillstayinpairingmodeuntiltheysuccessfullypairwithanemitter,oruntiloneminute
expires.Whileinpairingmode,theblueLEDwilldisplaythe“heartbeat”pattern.Iftheglassesfindan
emitterinpairingmode,thentheglasseswillpairwiththeemitterandresumenormaloperationas
describedin.Ifanemitterisnotfoundinpairingmode,theglasseswillnotoperatebutwillcontinueto
displaythe“heartbeat”patternuntiltheemitterisplacedintopairingmode,atwhichpointtheglasses
willpairandbeginnormaloperatingmodeimmediately.Iftheemitterisnotplacedinpairingmode,the
glasseswillstayinpairingmodeforoneminuteandthenwillpowerdown.
Pairedandunpairedglasses
Outofthebox,theglassesareunpaired.Theglasseswillbeginoperatingwiththefirstactiveemitter
theyrecognize.(Anemitterisactivewhenitisonandreceivesa3Dsignalfrom3Dprojectoror3D‐XL
converterboxwith3Dreadyprojectordisplaying3Dcontent.)Unpairedglasseswillcontinuetooperate
onlywiththesameemittertheystartedoperatingwithuntiltheyarepowereddown.Ifunpaired
glassesarebeingusedwithanemitterthatgetsturnedoff,theglasseswillautopowerdown,evenifa
differentemitterisonoristurnedon.
Unpairedglasseswilllookfortheemitterfoundduringthelastuse.Ifthepreviouslyfoundemitteris
notactive,theglasseswillstartoperatingwiththenextemitterfound.
Unpairedglassesareconvenientifyouplanontakingyourglassestoyourfriend’shouse.Simplypower
downyourglassesandbringthemtoyourfriend’shouse.Whenyoupoweryourglassesbackup,itwill
waitonesecondforyouremitterandthenstartusingyourfriend’semitter.Theprocessisreversed
whenyoubringyourglasseshome.
Pairedglasseswillnotusethesignalfromyourfriend’semitter.Oncepaired,OptomaZF2100Glasses
willonlyrecognizeandsynchronizewiththeemittertheglassesarepairedto.Thisisusefulifthereare
multipleemitterswithinrangeandyouwanttobecertainthatapairofglassesisalwaysassociatedwith
thesameemitter.
Topairglasseswithanewemitter,simplyputtheglassesbackinpairingmodealongwiththenew
emitter.Toputpairedglassesbackinunpairedmode,theglassesmustberestoredtofactorydefaults.
RestoringFactoryDefaults
Restoringapairofglassestofactorydefaultsrestoresthefactorydefaultsettingsandfirmware.This
includesputtingtheglassesintheunpairedmode.

BasicFunctionofShutterGlasses
Bothmovietheatersandhomeentertainmentsystemsworktogetherwithglassestoallowapersonto
lookataflatscreenandseedifferentimagesintheleftandrighteye,thusprovidingtheinformation
neededtoperceivedepth.Seeingslightlydifferentimagesineacheyeisthebasisof3Dperception.
All3Dshutterglassesstartwithanalternatingframedisplay.Analternatingframedisplayalternates
betweendisplayingframesforthelefteyeandframesfortherighteye.Shutterglassesblockthelightof
theleftframesfromreachingtherighteye,andviceversa.Inthismannereacheyereceiveseveryother
frame,andtheseriesofstillpicturesisreassembledbythemindtoproduceamovingpicture.Whenthe
sequenceofframesissentfastenough,themindwillassemblethesequenceofframestoforma
movingpicture,orinthecaseof3D,aseparatemovingpictureineacheye.ManyHDTVtelevisions
produce60framespersecondfora2DHDTVimage.Many3Dtelevisionsoperateat120Hzorfasterso
