● Do not mount the unit directly below ceiling lights (such as spotlights, floodlights or halogen lights)
that typically give off high heat. Doing so may be warped or damage plastic cabinet parts.
● Handle the TV carefully during installation since subjecting it to impact or other forces may cause
product damage.
● Take care when fixing wall brackets to the wall. Always ensure that there are no electrical cables or
pipes in the wall before hanging the bracket.
● When using the angled-type wall-hanging bracket, please ensure that there is sufficient space for the
connecting cables not to press against the wall when the TV is tilted forward.
● To prevent fall and injury, remove the TV from its fixed wall position when it is no longer in use.

 Viewing 3D images on TV
Using Precautions

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.

Cautions during viewing

Do not use devices that emit strong electromagnetic waves (such as cellular phones or personal
transceivers) near the 3D Eyewear. Doing so may cause the 3D Eyewear to malfunction.
The 3D Eyewear cannot operate fully at high or low temperatures. Please use within the specified
usage temperature range.
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 from at least the recommended distance (3 times the effective height of the screen),
Recommended Distance:
For a 55-inch television, 6.89 ft (2.1 m) or more
For a 60-inch television, 7.55 ft (2.3 m) or more
For a 65-inch television, 7.87 ft (2.4 m) or more
When the top and bottom area of the screen is blackened, such as when playing movies, view the
screen at a distance 3 times further than 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.
Use in area of Bluetooth® signals from other devices may interfere with 3D Eyewear operation.

Using radio waves

This unit uses the 2.4 GHz radio frequency ISM band (Bluetooth®). However other wireless equipment
may use the same frequency. Be sure to take note of the following to prevent radio wave interference
from other equipment.
Restriction of use
For use only in your country.
Range of use
The range of use is up to approximately 10.5 ft (3.2 m). The range may be less depending on the
structure of the building, the environment and any obstacles between the receiver and the transmitter.
Such obstacles as reinforced concrete walls and metal doors, in particular, obstruct the transmitter’s
signals.
Interference from other equipment
Due to radio interference, malfunctions may occur if the unit is placed too close to other equipment.
We recommend keeping the unit as far away as possible from the following devices:
Bluetooth® devices other than this unit, wireless LAN, microwaves, office automation devices, digital
cordless telephones and other electronic devices.
The unit is designed to automatically avoid radio interference from these household devices.
However malfunctions may happen when radio interference occurs.

 Care and Cleaning
First, unplug the power cord plug from the wall outlet.
Display panel
The front of the display panel has been specially treated. Wipe the panel surface gently using only a cleaning
cloth or a soft, lint-free cloth.
If the surface is particularly dirty after cleaning up the dust, soak a soft, lint-free cloth in diluted, mild liquid
dish soap (1 part mild liquid dish soap diluted by 100 times the amount of water), and then wring the cloth to
remove excess liquid. Use this cloth to wipe the surface of the display panel, then wipe it evenly with a dry
cloth of the same type until the surface is dry.
Do not scratch or hit the surface of the panel with fingernails or other hard objects. Furthermore, avoid
contact with volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents, and thinner; otherwise, the quality of the
surface may be adversely affected.
Cabinet
If the cabinet becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.
If the cabinet is particularly dirty, soak the cloth in diluted, mild liquid dish soap and then wring the cloth dry.
Use this cloth to wipe the cabinet and then wipe it dry with a dry cloth.
Do not allow any mild liquid dish soap to come into direct contact with the surface of the TV.
If water droplets get inside the unit, operating problems may result.
Avoid contact with volatile substances such as insect sprays, solvents, and thinner; otherwise, the quality of
the cabinet surface may be adversely affected or the coating may peel off.
Do not let articles made from rubber or PVC be in contact with the TV for long periods of time.
Pedestal
Cleaning
Wipe the surfaces with a soft, dry cloth. If the unit is particularly dirty, clean it using a cloth soaked with water
to which a small amount of mild liquid dish soap has been added and then wipe with a dry cloth.
Do not use products such as solvents, thinner, or household wax for cleaning, as they can damage the
surface coating.
Note: If using a chemically-treated cloth, follow the instructions supplied with the cloth.
Do not attach sticky tape or labels, as they can make the surface of the pedestal dirty. Do not allow long-
term contact with rubber, vinyl products, or the like. (Doing so will cause deterioration.)
3D Eyewear
Clean using a soft, dry cloth.
Wiping the 3D Eyewear with a soft cloth that is covered in dust or dirt may scratch the eyewear. Shake off
any dust from the cloth before use.
Do not use benzene, thinner, or wax on the 3D Eyewear, as doing so may cause the paint to peel off.
Do not dunk the 3D Eyewear in liquid such as water when cleaning.
Avoid storing the 3D Eyewear in hot or highly humid locations.
As the liquid crystal shutters (lens) are fragile and easily broken, be very careful when cleaning them.
Power cord plug
Wipe the plug with a dry cloth at regular intervals.
Note: Moisture and dust can lead to fire or electrical shock.
Back panel (Cooling fan)
The main unit is equipped with a cooling fan on the upper part of the back side. To remove dust or other
foreign materials adhering to the fan, vacuum it attaching lightly the opening of the suction nozzle of a
vacuum cleaner to the vent holes.
* Be extremely careful not to damage the display panel or other parts.
If a message appears even after cleaning and then turning on, contact your dealer or service center.
