Safety Precautions
Danger
About Prohibition of Heating„„ Do not put 3D Eyewear in fire, 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 fire.
Warning
About Prevention of Accidental Ingestion
„„ Do not store any 3D
 E

yewear parts in places where small children 
can reach.
There is a danger small children could swallow such parts by mistake.
 
 
If a child accidentally swallows such parts, seek immediate medical attention.

Identifying Controls
(Shown as TY-EW3D2MU)„„Liquid Crystal Shutter 
(lens) 
Controls the images for 3D 
viewing.
The left and right liquid crystal 
shutters are alternately opened 
and closed in time with the left 
side and right side images that 
are alternately displayed on the 
television to achieve the 3D effect.
„„ Infra-red receiver Receives infra-red signals from the television. 
The liquid crystal shutter open/close timing is controlled by receiving 
infra-red signals from the television, which provide 3D expression of 
the images.
If the eyewear stops receiving infra-red signal from the television, the 
power automatically switches off after 5 minutes.
„„ Power switch (bottom side 
of 3D
  Eyewear)
Switches on the 3D Eyewear power.
The 3D Eyewear is turned on by 
setting the power switch to “ON”. Set 
the power switch to “OFF” to turn off 
the 3D Eyewear.„„ Indicator lampLights or flashes during use or

Using Precautions
„„Liquid Crystal Shutter (Lens) 
 
Do not apply pressure to the liquid crystal shutter. Also, do not drop or bend the 
3D
  Eyewear.
 
 
Do not scratch the surface of the liquid crystal shutter with a pointed instrument etc.  
Doing so may cause damage to the 3D
  Eyewear, and reduce the quality of the 3D 
image.
„„ Infra-red receiver section 
 
Do not soil the infra-red receiver section or attach stickers etc. to it.
•
 Doing so may prevent the receiver from receiving signals from the television, which 
may prevent the 3D
  Eyewear from operating normally.
 
 
If the 3D
  Eyewear is affected by other infra-red data communication equipment, the 
3D images may not be displayed correctly.
„„ Cautions during viewing 
 
Do not use devices that emit strong electromagnetic waves (such as cellular phones 
or personal transceivers) near the 3D E
yewear.  Doing so may cause the 3D E yewear 
to malfunction.
 
 
The 3D
  Eyewear cannot operate fully at high or low temperatures. 
Please use within the specified usage temperature range (
page 13).
 
 
If the 3D
 
Eyewear is used in a room in which fluorescent lights (50   Hz) are used, the 
light within the room may appear to be flickering. In this case, either darken or switch 
off the fluorescent lights when using the 3D
 
Eyewear.
 
 
Wear the 3D
 
Eyewear correctly. 3D images will not be correctly visible if the 
3D
 
Eyewear is worn upside down or back-to-front.
 
 
Other kinds of displays (such as computer screens, digital clocks, or calculators etc.) 
may be difficult to see while wearing the 3D
 
Eyewear. Do not wear the 3D   Eyewear 
when watching anything other than 3D images.
„„ For comfortable viewing 
 
View the screen at a distance at least 3 times further than the effective height of the 
screen.
Recommended distance:
 For a 50-inch television

 
6'  2" (1.9
   m) or more
 For a 54-inch television 6'  6" (2.0

  m) or more
 For a 58-inch television

 
7'  6" (2.3
   m) or more
 For a 65-inch television 7'10" (2.4

  m) or more
Using the 3D
  Eyewear at a distance closer than the recommended distance may 
cause eyesight fatigue.
When the top and bottom area of the screen is blackened, such as movies, view the 
screen at a distance 3 times of the height of the actual image.
(That makes the viewing distance closer than above recommended distance.)
 
 
Stop using the 3D
  Eyewear immediately if your skin feels unusual.
In rare cases, the paint or materials used in the 3D
  Eyewear may cause an allergic 
reaction.
 
 
Stop using the 3D
  Eyewear immediately if you experience any redness, pain, or 
itching on the nose or temples.
Prolonged use may cause such symptoms due to excess pressure, which may result 
in the user feeling unwell.

movie.
 
 
When watching 3D content on interactive devices such as 3D games or computers, 
take an appropriate length break after using for 30
  -   60 minutes.
Prolonged use may cause eyesight fatigue.
