AG100 Active Glasses - Handling Instructions

Parameter Instructions
Storage Glasses should be stored away from any IR source such as fluorescent lights or be covered so the IR does not trigger the glasses to switch to the on state. The storage temperature should be standard office temperatures as high temperature environments reduce battery life.
Handling The AG100 glasses are generally pretty durable, but the lenses can be cracked if the glasses are rotated around the focal point of the nose piece. When distributing the glasses to users care should be taken to handle the glasses by the frame in order to avoid getting fingerprints on the lens.
Cleaning The AG100 glasses can be washed in a dishwasher in which the water and drying temperature does not exceed +50 degree Centigrade (+122 degree Fahrenheit). If cleaning by hand you can use a standard cleaning agent that is not ammonia based. Windex has an anti-bacterial cleaning product that works quite well. The glasses can also be washed under a faucet using liquid soap and warm water. When cleaning by hand you should dry the lenses using a lint free, soft, drying cloth. (DO NOT USE PAPER TOWELS AS THEY CAN SCRATCH THE LENS)

Optional recommened equipment / accessories

3D-Cinema Glasses Washer
It is recommended that the active glasses be washed between uses - with the two drawer Fisher&Paykel DishDrawer dishwasher.


3D-Cinema Distribution Rack
Portable rack providing storage for up to 400 pairs of glasses. Each tray will hold one storage/washing basket to minimize the handling of the individual glasses.
