Features

Overview: The Samsung 3D Active Glasses (SSG-2100AB) includes one pair of 3D active glasses, a lithium coin-type battery (CR2025 3V), and a soft carrying pouch. Samsung's battery powered 3D active glasses allow you to experience 3D entertainment from a Samsung 3D HDTV and a Samsung 3D Blu-ray player (with 3D movie), or satellite provider broadcasting in 3D.

Compatibility: The Samsung 3D Active Glasses (SSG-2100AB) are compatible with 2010 Samsung 3D-ready HDTVs. You must also have a 3D-ready Blu-ray player with 3D content, or a satellite/cable provider broadcasting in 3D.

Note: Not compatible with 2011 Samsung 3D TVs (featuring a bluetooth interface) or previous Samsung TV's which featured a 3D Sync IR output.

3D Active Technology: When you put the 3D glasses on and look at the TV screen, this active 3D technology first blocks the left and then the right lens (faster than the blink of an eye, so you don't even notice), displaying the screen's images separately to each eye. This "staggered" effect provides far more lifelike 3D images, than previous technologies.

Operation: The 3D active glasses operate off of a single CR2025 3V lithium coin-type battery. The battery compartment is on the inner left-hand side of the glasses. There is a power button on top of the right-hand side of the glasses. The power button features a red LED indicator. The indicator blinks for 3 seconds when turned "On", and blinks three times when turned "Off".

Rules for TV Watching:

• If you are watching 3D in a room lit by a light magnetic fluorescent lamp (50Hz or 60Hz), you may see flickering on the 3D glasses. If this occurs, please turn off the light.
• If you change the channel or input more when watching 3D, the TV will change to 2D from 3D automatically. When the TV changes from 3D to 2D the glasses will automatically turn off.
• If the Emitter becomes disconnected to due to either a change in the angle or viewing distance, the 3D glasses turn off automatically after 2 minutes. This this case, the red LED blinks 3x.
• 3D glass may  not work properly due to noise interference from other electric devices under specific condition.

Cleaning:

• Since the product surface and the lens are easily scratched, make sure to use a clean soft cloth (superfine fibers, cotton flannel) when cleaning them to avoid scratching the lens. As the product may become scratched if there is any foreign material on the cloth, make sure to shake off any dust before using it.
• When cleaning, do not spray cleaner directly onto the surface of the product. This may result in fire or electric shock, damage to the product surface, or result in the indication labels peeling from the product surface.
• Do not use chemicals containing alcohol, solvent, or surfactant, or chemicals such as wax, benzene, thinner, lubricant, or cleaners. These may result in discoloration or cracks on the product surface and cause the indication labels to peel from the product surface.

Cautions:

• Please note that if you watch 3D TV for too long while wearing 3D glasses, you may experience headaches or fatigue. If you experience headaches, fatigue, or dizziness, stop watching immediately and rest.
• Pregnant women, people with heart issues, people who get easily nauseous, as well as person with epilepsy should not watch 3D videos.
• Use this product only for viewing 3D TV. Don use it for any other purpose. If you use the 3D glasses as normal glasses, sunglasses, or protective goggles, your eyesight may be damaged.
