3D Safety Requirements

•

•

•

3D Glasses are NOT designed as sunglasses or safety glasses and do not provide protection. 3D glasses should be worn only when viewing 3D material.

Do not wear the wireless glasses in any situations that require unimpaired visual perception.

Children under the age of 5 should not view 3D programming.

Under normal conditions, 3D viewing is safe for your movies or games. Some people may experience discomfort, however. To minimize the potential for experiencing visual problems or any adverse symptoms:

•

•

•

Read and follow any and all safety warnings that accompany your 3D glasses or 3D source devices.

Maintain a distance of no less than 2 to 2.5 times the screen height measurement away from the display. Viewing from too short a distance can strain your eyes.

Take regular breaks, at least 5 minutes after every hour of 3D viewing.

•

•

•

•

If you experience any of the following symptoms, discontinue 3D viewing until the symptoms go away: nausea, dizziness, or queasiness, headache, or eyestrain, blurry vision, double vision that lasts longer than a few seconds,

Do not engage in any potentially hazardous activity (for example, driving a vehicle) until your symptoms have completely gone away. If symptoms persist, discontinue use and do not resume 3D viewing without discussing your symptoms with a physician.

Do not use the glasses where loss of balance or limiting your field of vision may be dangerous to you.

Do not use near staircases, ledges or balconies. You may risk falling during or after use.

Epilepsy

WARNING! IF YOU OR ANY MEMBER OF YOUR FAMILY HAS A HISTORY OF

EPILEPSY, CONSULT A PHYSICIAN BEFORE USING 3D VIDEO OR GAME PRODUCTS.

The following people should consult a physician before viewing 3D Games or Video:

• Anyone with a history of epilepsy, or who has a family member with a history of

• epilepsy

Anyone who has ever experienced epileptic seizures or sensory disturbances triggered by flashing light effects.

•

•

•

•

•

WARNING! SOME LIGHT PATTERNS MAY INDUCE SEIZURES IN PERSONS WITH

NO PRIOR HISTORY OF EPILEPSY. DISCONTINUE 3D VIEWING IF YOU EXPERI-

ENCE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING SYMPTOMS:

Involuntary movements, eye or muscle twitching

Muscle cramps

Nausea, dizziness, or queasiness

Convulsions

Disorientation, confusion, or loss of awareness of your surroundings

Do not engage in any potentially hazardous activity (for example, driving a vehicle) until your symptoms have completely gone away.

Do not resume 3D viewing without discussing the symptoms with your physician.
