• Parental supervision is required especially when children or teenagers view 3D images.

You may wish to consult a physician before allowing young children to view 3D.

• 3D TV’S and other 3D display devices use high speed flashes of light to generate a 3D effect.

The light flash effect may produce seizures or epileptic seizures in certain individuals in addition

to the following:

– Some light patterns may cause viewers to experience an epileptic seizure or stroke upon

exposure to certain flashing images or light patterns contained in certain 3D television

pictures or 3D video games. You should consult a physician before viewing 3D material

if you or any of your relatives has a history of epilepsy or strokes.

– “Photosensitive epileptic seizures” (reaction to flashes of light) can be caused by an

undiagnosed condition even when family members have no history of epilepsy.

– If you experience any of the following symptoms immediately stop watching 3D pictures

and consult physician or other medical specialist: altered vision; lightheadedness;

dizziness; involuntary movement such as eye or muscle twitching; confusion; nausea; loss of

awareness of your surroundings; convulsions; muscle cramps; and/or disorientation. Parent’s

should monitor and discuss with their children the above symptoms. Children and teenagers

may be more susceptible than adults to experiencing these symptoms.

– Do not watch 3D picture when you feel incoherent, sleepy, tired or sick. Avoid watching

3D pictures for long periods of time. Take regular breaks, especially during long periods

of 3D viewing.

• Watching TV while wearing 3D glasses for an extended period of time may cause

headache, fatigue or dizziness. Remove the glasses and stop watching TV immediately

if you experience this.

• Some 3D pictures may startle viewers. Due to the immersive nature of 3D viewing some scenes

2.1 MAX 3D TRANSMITTER OPERATION

RF Communication of Synchronization Signal

Advanced RF communications enable the MAX 3D System to provide an extraordinary 3D

viewing experience that is uninterruptable. Unlike IR-based 3D systems where the quality

of the viewing experience is highly susceptible to line of sight obstructions, placement of

transmitter considerations, and where the viewer sits relative to the transmitter; issues

of sync between the MAX 3D Transmitter and MAX 3D Eyewear never arise thanks to the

advanced RF technology used by the MAX 3D System.

LED Indicators

The MAX 3D Transmitter uses 5 multicolored

LEDs to indicate modes of operation or other

information. The LEDs are located on the top of

the transmitter close to the joystick. The colors

they display are red, green, or orange.

Joystick

With the MAX 3D Transmitter, you can access

different modes of operation and make changes

to various settings. The joystick has two axes

and a center button function. How the transmitter

functions along an axis and what the button will

do depends on its current operating mode.
