Safety and Handling
Safety and Handling
Caution: Failure to observe the following safety and hand-
ling information can lead to electrical damage, damage to
system components or injuries.
Remove the cinemizer immediately if you get a headache.
Avoid using the video glasses for longer periods of time at
high audio volumes. In extreme cases, this can lead to irre-
parable hearing damage. Consult a physician if necessary.
In particular cases, some people may experience epileptic sei-
zures or impaired consciousness if they are exposed to certain
pin1 = GND/Common
pin2 = Video
pin3 = Audio Right
pin4 = Audio Left

flashing lights or light effects. These persons could possibly
suffer a seizure under such conditions. Even persons with no
prior medical history of epilepsy and who have never had an
epileptic seizure before may also be affected by this.
If you or a family member has ever had symptoms that could
possibly be associated with epilepsy (such as seizures or im-
paired consciousness) when exposed to flashing lights, please
consult your physician before using the cinemizer. If you expe-
rience symptoms such as dizziness, impaired vision, twitching
eyes or muscles, loss of consciousness, disorientation or any
kind of involuntary movements or cramps while using a com-
puter or video game, switch off the device immediately and
consult a physician before you resume using the video
glasses.
As with traditional TV viewing, children should use this device
under parental guidance. Please prevent excessive use of this
device. When children use the cinemizer, we advise usage
breaks at regular intervals.
The cinemizer and its accessories have to be stored out of
reach of small children under 5 years, as they may swallow
small parts like the nosepad or adapters or tangle themselves
in the cables. This may lead to accidents or injuries.
The video glasses isolate you from your immediate surroun-
dings while using them. Therefore you should use them only
12 13
when you feel absolutely secure in your surroundings and do
not have to react to external influences. Never wear the
video glasses in situations which require your attention, e.g.
walking, riding a bike or driving a motorcycle, automobile or
other vehicle.
Make sure you run the cables from the playback device to
the video glasses in a safe manner to avoid accidents.
Do not drop the video glasses. Do not use force to open, break
or bend the video glasses. Do not throw the video glasses into
an open fire and do not insert any objects into the device.
Avoid touching the optical surfaces of the video glasses and
protect these from fingerprints, dirt and dust.
When iPod/iPhone is connected to the battery box and
used for longer period of time, heat is generated. However,
this warming is within the operating conditions specified
by Apple when the iPod with video is in proper working
order.
Storage and Transport
Only use the video glasses in a temperature range between
5 ºC and 35 ºC / 41°F and 95°F. The battery run time will be
temporarily reduced if used at lower temperatures. Store the
video glasses in a temperature range between –20 ºC and
45 ºC / -4°F and 113°F.

Do not leave the video glasses in a parked vehicle as the
temperature may exceed the range. Observe these environ-
mental conditions when operating, storing and transporting,
and avoid fluctuations in temperature and humidity.
Do not allow the video glasses to come into contact with
liquids. The video glasses are neither water-resistant nor
waterproof. Therefore, do not use in rain or damp environ-
ments. Should the video glasses be exposed to moisture, turn
them off completely and disconnect them from the playback
device. Allow the device to dry completely before turning it
on again. Do not attempt to dry the video glasses with an
external source of heat, e.g. in a microwave oven or with a
hair dryer.
Repair
Never attempt to repair or tamper with the video glasses or
the accessories yourself. Have the video glasses and acces-
sories serviced and repaired by an authorized specialist. You
can find a list of contacts at: www.zeiss.com/cinemizer
Battery
The integrated battery is rechargeable. It must be replaced
only by an authorized specialist. Standard batteries cannot be
used with the cinemizer.
Do not connect the poles of the battery as this can cause a
shirt circuit. Do not charge the battery at temperatures
exceeding the above-mentioned operating temperatures (not
14 15
even next to an open fire or under strong solar radiation).
Only use a charger that meets the device specifications.
Cleaning the cinemizer
Before cleaning the video glasses, be sure to turn off the vi-
deo glasses completely and disconnect the cable from the
playback device or remove the iPod from the clip on the bat-
tery box. Do not clean the video glasses with liquids contai-
ning solvents. Use a clean microfiber cleaning cloth for all
surfaces as you would for cleaning eyeglasses. Be sure to re-
move dust particles from the viewing openings when clea-
ning them.
