1. REQUIREMENTS
To use your ActivEyes Pro in active 3D mode you
need a 3D device playing 3D content on a 3D
Display using compatible IR synchronization.
2. PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Your 3D Glasses System by Volfoni includes one pair
of ActivEyes Pro 3D glasses and one ActivMe Pro
electronic receiver. Your ActivEyes Pro glasses, when
connected to the ActivMe Pro, are compatible with
most 3D TV sets using IR signals to control 3D glasses.
The ActivMe Pro receiver can be recharged and
updated to new IR and RF 3D protocols via its USB
port.
If your ActivEyes Pro 3D Glasses are tted with Hybrid
ClearLenses, they will decode 3D from passive
displays too.
3. DESCRIPTION OF THE ACTIVEYES
The ActivEyes Pro eyewear includes:
1. Liquid Crystal shutter lens
2. Connection plug
If your 3D Display does not come with an IR emitter,
you may want to acquire one from its manufacturer,
or plug a Volfoni ActivHub RF50 to a 3D sync out
To use your ActivEyes Pro with hybrid lenses in passive
3D mode, you need a 3D device playing 3D content
on a 3D display using compatible circular light
polarization.

4. QUICK START
To watch active displays using your ActivEyes System
in universal infra-red 3D mode :
1. Using the connection cable, plug the ActivEyes Pro
to the ActivMe Pro, and place the glasses on your
head.
2. Check that the “function” selector on the ActivMe
Pro is on “1”.
3. Switch the power on. The glasses should blink once
each eye to signal that the system is up and running.
4. As soon as the IR or RF signal is identied and
interpreted, the glasses go into 3D mode. You can
now attach the ActivMe Pro to the front of your
clothing or attach to the lanyard, making sure that
the IR window is not obscured.
To watch passive displays (for VBAE-01000 models
only) :
Simply wear your ActivEyes Pro. There’s no need to
plug or power on the ActivMe Pro.
5. CHARGING BATTERY
To charge the ActivMe Pro, plug it in using the
Micro-USB cable to any 5V USB power source (or
computer). The LED should go red until the battery
is fully charged, then the LED goes green, typically
after 2.5 hours. The battery is estimated to last 30
hours before needing a recharge. Your ActivMe can
operate while charging.
6. UPDATE YOUR ACTIVEYES PRO

you have the latest version of software from our
website. For this purpose, please download the «

7. VOLFONI LOADER - PARAMETERS
You can access to this part by clicking on
“parameter” in the menu “edit” when your glasses
are connected
3D Synchronisation :
- Normal : In this conguration the glasses will receive
a normal 3D synch
- Inverted : In this conguration the glasses will
receive a reverse 3D sync
- 2D Left : In this conguration the glasses will show
the 2D image left
- 2D Right : n this conguration the glasses will show
the 2D image right
RF Channels :
Choose which channels the glasses will receive on
this switch position (you have to choose the same
channel on your ActivHub RF50)
Dark Time :
Allows you to change the value of DarkTime
The slider allows you to adjust the value between
-4000 microseconds (better luminosity) and 4000
microseconds (better contrast). The value applied is
inscribed above the slider (0 in this example)
Delta Sync (μs) :
Modify the sync offset (between -2000 and 2000
microseconds). Default = 0.l
8. IR COMPATIBILITY

9. TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM SOLUTION
The jack plug may not
be all the way inserted
in the ActiveMe Pro or
in the glasses
Check the connection
jack
The IR signal is not
recognized
Check that your 3D
system
is emitting IR
The IR signal is obscured Make sure ActivMe
Pro is
facing the IR emitter
The IR signal is
scrambled by other
sources like direct
sunlight
Reduce external light
The ActivMe Pro battery
is discharged
Plug the USB cable
into a
power source and try
again
Your 3D display uses
an IR protocol not
compatible with
Activeyes Pro

10. IMPORTANT SAFETY
RECOMMENDATIONS
- The ActivEyes Pro 3D glasses are not suitable for
wear when playing sports, driving vehicles, operating
heavy machinery, or doing outdoor activities. It
should not be used as sunglasses (no UV protection)
- If you are unsure about your vision, take a test to
verify your ability to see stereoscopic 3D images.
- Do not sit too close to the screen when watching
3D images.
- Watching 3D may cause discomfort (such
as eye strain, altered vision, fatigue, nausea,
lightheadedness, dizziness, confusion, loss
of awareness, convulsions, cramps and/or
disorientation) for some people. Volfoni recommends
that you take regular breaks when watching
3D content or playing 3D video games until the
discomfort ends. If the discomfort persists, consult a
doctor.
- Certain types of TV images or video games that
contain ashing patterns of light may cause epilepsy
symptoms for some viewers.
If you or any member of your family has a history
of epilepsy, Volfoni strongly recommends that you
consult a physician before the use of this product.
- Be aware of young children, especially those
under six years old. Because their vision is still under
development, consult a doctor (such as pediatrician
or eye doctor) before allowing young children to
watch 3D.
- Not for children’s use without proper adult
supervision.
- If the product is broken, please keep broken pieces
