Getting Started
Set your playback device to 3D mode.1.
Turn on your 2. Xp a n D 3D glasses (refer to Picture 1) and place them on
your head. That’s it! You are ready to start enjoying your 3D experience.
Stereoscopic Vision and 3D
When you see the world through both eyes, you are actually looking at two
pictures merged into one. Your right eye and your left eye each deliver a
separate image to your brain, which meshes these two images into one
three-dimensional picture.
Most movies in the past were only able to provide one image on the screen.
Thus 3D effects have to be simulated by other means. Your Xp a n D 3D
glasses, however, are able to provide a different view for each eye, more
closely simulating true 3D vision.
Each scene of your 3D content has two images, one drawn from a right-eye
view and the other from a left-eye view. Your display shows these alternating
views so fast that your eyes cannot see the change.
Your Xp a n D 3D glasses are equipped with shutters in each lens. So, when
the right-eye image is displayed on the screen, the left lens of your Xp a n D
3D glasses is closed, allowing only the right eye to see the image. When
the left-eye image is displayed, the process is reversed and only the left
eye can see the image. These images alternate so quickly that the eye sees
only one smooth picture, making it look like you are actually inside a 3D
environment.
What do I need for viewing 3D?
3D content (movies, video games, etc.) »
A 3D Playback Device (PC, gaming console, Blu-Ray player, etc) that »
matches the requirements of your display or projector

Maintenance of Your Xp a n D 3D Glasses
Your Xp a n D 3D glasses represent the state of the art in high-speed optical
switching technology. With proper care they should give you many years of
trouble-free operation of 3D viewing enjoyment.
Turning On/Off Your Glasses
To turn your glasses ON lightly pass or brush your fingers along the right
side (outside) of your glasses frame over the Xp a n D logo (see the power on
logo). The glasses will turn off automatically after 5 minutes when they stop
receiving the stereo synchronization signal from your TV or projector.
Low Battery Warning (see also Storing your glasses, page 4)
The battery warning is intended to trigger when the battery level falls below
2.6V.
The battery level is tested when entering either the off mode or the turn on
mode. (1) If a low battery is detected when entering the off mode, the lens
will flash in an alternating pattern from one to the other at about 1 cycle per
second. (2) If a low battery is detected when entering the turn on mode the
lens will flash alternating clear three times. Since turn on is accomplished
when the lenses are dark, the light flashes are kept to a minimum. So the
flashes are only long enough to be seen; for a few seconds.
Handling
As with any optical device you should use care to prevent damage to the
optical elements of your Xp a n D 3D glasses. The lenses are sensitive and
can be cracked if the glasses are rotated or twisted. The glasses should
be held by the frame in order to avoid getting fingerprints on the lenses or
scratching them.
Don’t leave your Xp a n D 3D glasses unprotected. Store the 3D glasses away
from dust and moisture.
Avoid stressing the Xp a n D 3D glasses, frames, and lenses. Do not stretch
or bend the frames.
Do not scratch the lenses.

Storing Your Xp a n D 3D Glasses
It is recommended that the glasses be stored away from any light sources
such as fluorescent lights or be covered so that unintended light does not
keep the glasses in the on-mode, thus draining the battery. Under certain
2D viewing conditions the glasses may flicker randomly if the projector is
not in 3D Sync mode. The storage temperature should be standard room
temperatures as high temperature environments can reduce battery life.
Changing the Battery
The lenses of your glasses will cease to turn on when the battery is
discharged. For the optimal viewing experience, please replace the battery
when this happens.
Step by step replacement:
Place the key as shown below. 1.
Turn the key counterclockwise (left) about 1/8 of a turn.2.
Remove the old battery. 3.
Insert the new battery inside the compartment.4.
Place the key on the battery and turn it clockwise (right) about 5.
1/8 of a turn.
Remove the key.6.
Each battery will last for approximately 120 hours depending on your
usage.
Your glasses come with an extra battery. Please store it in a dry, safe place.
Additional batteries can be ordered at www.Xp a n D3dtv.com or purchased
locally from Xp a n D dealers.
Glasses Range
The range of your glasses, how far you can sit from your screen, is based on
several factors including:
Ambient light: other light sources in the room »
If you are using a projector, the gain level of your screen »
Note – this will affect off-axis performance as you get further off to the »
side.
The ANSI Lumens (brightness) rating of your projector Below is a chart »
that provides range estimates based upon a projector screen gain of
1.0:
Extended white-light range: this range can vary from 50’ »
to 100’. »
Example: 100 ANSI Lumens = 2 feet (extended range model - 1/2 for SUBA
or SUBB serial number code).
ANSI Lumens*Range in feet
2500 40-50
3000 50-60
3500 60-70
4000 70-80
5000 90-100
* consult your projector or TV manual for your device’s ANSI Lumens rating. Actual
ranges may vary due to projector output.
