Using the 3D Glasses
CAUTION
• Not all consumers can experience and enjoy 3D TV. Some people suffer from stereo blindness which
prevents them from perceiving the intended depth of 3D entertainment. Also, some people who watch 3D
programming may experience initial feelings of motion sickness as they adjust to the picture. Others may
experience headaches, eye fatigue or continued motion sickness, or some viewers might also experience
epileptic seizures or strokes. Like a roller coaster, the experience is not for everyone.
• The 3D Glasses are precision equipment. Handle them with care.
• Improper use of the 3D Glasses or failure to follow these instructions can result in eye strain.
• If you experience dizziness, nausea, or other discomfort while viewing 3D images, immediately
discontinue use of the 3D Glasses. Using the binocular disparity 3D system of the TV with incompatible
3D broadcasts or software can make images appear with a cross talk blur or create overlapping images.
• When viewing 3D images continuously, be sure to take a break periodically to prevent eye strain.
• If you are nearsighted or farsighted or have astigmatism or a different level of eyesight between the
left and right eyes, you should take the necessary steps, such as wearing eyeglasses, to correct your
eyesight before viewing 3D images. The 3D Glasses can be worn over eyeglasses.
• When viewing 3D images, keep the 3D Glasses horizontally level with the TV screen. If you tilt the
3D Glasses with respect to the TV screen, the images viewed by the left and right eyes may appear
significantly different or images may appear overlapping.
• View 3D images at the appropriate distance from the TV screen. The recommended distance is three
times the effective height of the TV screen.
• Be careful of your surroundings when viewing 3D images. When you view 3D images, objects may appear
at a distance closer or farther than the actual TV screen. This may cause you to misjudge the distance to
the TV screen and possibly result in injury if you accidentally hit the screen or surrounding objects.
• The 3D glasses are not recommended for people aged less than 6.
• When children are viewing 3D images, be sure a parent or guardian is present. Monitor children viewing
3D images, and if they show signs of discomfort, immediately discontinue use of the 3D Glasses.
• People with a known history of photosensitivity and people with heart problems or poor health should
not use the 3D Glasses. This can worsen existing health conditions.
• Do not use the 3D Glasses for other purposes (such as general eyeglasses, sunglasses, or protective
goggles).
• Do not use the 3D function or 3D Glasses while walking or moving around. This may result in injuries due
to running into objects, tripping, and/or falling.
• When using the 3D Glasses, take care not to accidentally strike the TV screen or other people. Viewing
3D images may cause you to misjudge the distance to the TV screen and accidentally strike the screen,
resulting in possible injury.
• It is recommended that you do not view 3D images if you are sleep deprived or if you have been drinking
alcohol.

Usage Range of the 3D Glasses
CAUTION
• Do not recharge while wearing the 3D glasses.
The 3D Glasses can be used by receiving an infrared
signal sent from the TV.
The 3D Glasses turn off automatically after 10 minutes if
no signal is received from the TV.
NOTE
• Be sure to turn on the TV when you recharge the 3D
glasses battery. If the TV is turned off, you may not
recharge it.
■ Operating range
From directly in front of the 3D infrared emitter on
the TV: approx. 5 m (within approx. 30° horizontally
and 20° vertically)
• When you recharge the 3D glasses battery, only
connect the USB cable (supplied accessory) to a USB
terminal on the TV.
• The battery will not recharge during usage with the
USB cable connected.
• Recharge the battery within the operating temperature
(10°C–40°C/50°F–104°F). The battery may not be able
to recharge outside of the operating temperature.
Recharging the 3D glasses battery
When the battery power is low, the LED light blinks one
time per second. If the 3D glasses battery runs out, you
can recharge the 3D glasses battery by connecting the
supplied USB cable to the TV and the power-supply
terminal on the 3D glasses.

on the TV.
• The LED light blinks once per two seconds, and
then starts recharging.
NOTE
• When the LED light goes off, the recharge is
complete. It takes 90 minutes to complete the
recharge.
• Insert the USB cable again if the LED light blinks
on and off once every 0.5 seconds. If it still
doesn’t respond, inquire with a retail dealer or
SHARP customer service.
• Do not move around while wearing the 3D glasses.
You may result in getting your feet caught in USB
cable, the TV falling or other accidents that may cause
injury.
• When you supply power to the 3D glasses, only
connect the USB cable (supplied accessory) to a USB
terminal on the TV.
• When you use the USB cable connecting the 3D

Using the 3D Glasses
NOTE
• These 3D Glasses are only for use with SHARP LCD TVs supporting 3D.
■ 3D Glasses lenses
• Do not apply pressure to the lenses of the 3D Glasses. Also, do not drop or bend the 3D Glasses.
• Do not scratch the surface of the lenses of the 3D Glasses with a pointed instrument or other object. Doing so may
damage the 3D Glasses and reduce the quality of the 3D image.
• Use only the cloth provided with the 3D Glasses to clean the lenses.
■ 3D Glasses infrared receiver
• Do not allow the infrared receiver to become dirty, and do not attach stickers to or otherwise cover the infrared
receiver. Doing so may prevent the receiver from operating normally.
• If the 3D Glasses are affected by other infrared data communication equipment, the 3D images may not be
displayed correctly.
■ Caution during viewing
• Do not use devices that emit strong electromagnetic waves (such as cellular phones or wireless transceivers) near
the 3D Glasses. Doing so may cause the 3D Glasses to malfunction.
• The 3D Glasses cannot operate fully at extreme high or low temperatures. Please use them within the specified
usage temperature range.
• If the 3D Glasses are used in a room with fluorescent lighting (50/60 Hz), the light within the room may appear to
flicker. In this case, either darken or turn off the fluorescent lights when using the 3D Glasses.
• Wear the 3D Glasses correctly. 3D images will not be correctly visible if the 3D Glasses are worn upside down or
back-to-front.
• Other displays (such as computer screens, digital clocks, and calculators) may appear dark and difficult to view while
wearing the 3D Glasses. Do not wear the 3D Glasses when watching anything other than 3D images.
• If you lie on your side while watching the TV with 3D Glasses, the picture may look dark or may not be visible.
• Be sure to stay within the viewing angle and optimum TV viewing distance when watching 3D images. Otherwise,
you may not be able to enjoy the full 3D effect.
• The 3D Glasses may not work properly if there is any other 3D product or electronic devices turned on near the
glasses or TV. If this occurs, turn off the other 3D product or electronic devices or keep the devices as far away as
possible from the 3D Glasses.
• Stop using this product in any of the following situations:
− When images consistently appear doubled while you are wearing the 3D Glasses
− When you have difficultly perceiving the 3D effect
• If the 3D Glasses are faulty or damaged, stop using them immediately. Continued use of the 3D Glasses may cause
eye fatigue, headaches and illness.
• If you have any abnormal skin reaction, stop using the 3D Glasses. In very rare instances, such reactions may be
due to an allergic reaction to the coating or materials used.
• If your nose or temples become red or you experience any pain or itchiness, stop using the 3D Glasses. Pressure
caused by long periods of use may lead to such reactions and may result in skin irritation.
Troubleshooting
Problem
Possible Solution
