wearing glasses.

• Every time you use the Glasstron, the adjustment screen appears to help you adjust the

display unit properly. You can also check whether the left and right screen positions are

properly aligned or not.

• Cautions appear on the screen about every two hours to remind you to check for eye fatigue.

The power will automatically turn off if you do not press the PUSH DISPLAY jog dial. If you

keep using the Glasstron continuously for six hours, a warning appears on the screen and the

power will turn off automatically.
