Safety Precautions
Danger
About Prohibition of Heating
 Do not put 3D Eyewear in re, heat it or leave it in places that can get
hot.
 3D Eyewear contains a lithium-ion polymer rechargeable battery, so
heating may result in combustion or rupture that may cause burns or
re.
Warning
Small Parts
 This product contains small parts (ferrite core, etc.) and must be kept
out of reach of small children to avoid accidental ingestion.
Disassembly
 Do not disassemble or modify the 3D Eyewear.
 When disposing this product, refer “Disposal” (page 10) and
disassemble properly for removing the rechargeable battery.
About Charging
 Charge by connecting the included charging cable to the USB terminal
of a Panasonic TV supporting 3D. Charging with other devices may
result in battery leakage, heating or rupture.
 Do not use the included charging cable for uses other than charging
3D Eyewear.
Caution
About 3D Eyewear
 Do not drop, exert pressure on, or step on the 3D Eyewear.
 Always store the 3D Eyewear in the case provided when not in use.
 Be careful of the tips of the frame when putting on the 3D Eyewear.

ENGLISH - 3
 Always keep the 3D Eyewear in a cool, dry place.
 Be careful not to trap a nger in the hinge section of the 3D Eyewear.
 Pay special attention when children are using this product.
Viewing 3D Content
 Do not use the 3D Eyewear if you have a history of over-sensitivity to
light, heart problems, or have any other existing medical conditions.
 Stop using the 3D Eyewear immediately if you feel tired, discomfort,
or any other uncomfortable sensation.
 Take an appropriate break after viewing a 3D movie.
 Take a break of between 30 - 60 minutes after viewing 3D content on
interactive devices such as 3D games or computers.
 Be careful not to strike the television screen or other people
unintentionally. When using the 3D Eyewear the distance between
the user and screen can be misjudged.
 The 3D Eyewear must only be worn when viewing 3D content.
 Do not tilt your head and/or the 3D Eyewear while viewing 3D image.
Keep your eyes and the 3D Eyewear are on a horizontal level to the
television.
 If you suffer from any eyesight problems (short/far-sighted,
astigmatism, eyesight differences in left and right), please ensure to
correct your vision before using the 3D Eyewear.
 Stop using the 3D Eyewear if you can clearly see double images
when viewing 3D content.
 Do not use the 3D Eyewear at a distance less than the recommended
distance.
The recommended viewing distance is at least 3 times of image height.
For a 50-inch television 1,9 m or more
For a 54-inch television 2,0 m or more
For a 58-inch television 2,3 m or more
For a 65-inch television 2,4 m or more
 When the top and bottom area of the screen is blackened, such as
movies, view the screen at a distance at least 3 times of the height of
the actual image.
(That makes the distance closer than above recommended gure.)
