glasses will not operate but will continue to display the “heartbeat” pattern until the emitter is placed
into pairing mode, at which point the glasses will pair and begin normal operating mode immediately. If
the emitter is not placed in pairing mode, the glasses will stay in pairing mode for one minute and then
will power down.
Paired and unpaired glasses
Out of the box, the glasses are unpaired. The glasses will begin operating with the first active emitter
they recognize. (An emitter is active when it is on and receives a 3D signal from 3D-XL converter box
with 3D ready projector displaying 3D content.) Unpaired glasses will continue to operate only with the
same emitter they started operating with until they are powered down. If unpaired glasses are being
used with an emitter that gets turned off, the glasses will auto power down, even if a different emitter is
on or is turned on.
Unpaired glasses will look for the emitter found during the last use. If the previously found emitter is
not active, the glasses will start operating with the next emitter found.
Unpaired glasses are convenient if you plan on taking your glasses to your friend’s house. Simply power
down your glasses and bring them to your friend’s house. When you power your glasses back up, it will
wait one second for your emitter and then start using your friend’s emitter. The process is reversed
when you bring your glasses home.
Paired glasses will not use the signal from your friend’s emitter. Once paired, Optoma 3D-RF Glasses will
only recognize and synchronize with the emitter the glasses are paired to. This is useful if there are
multiple emitters within range and you want to be certain that a pair of glasses is always associated with
the same emitter.
To pair glasses with a new emitter, simply put the glasses back in pairing mode along with the new
emitter. To put paired glasses back in unpaired mode, the glasses must be restored to factory defaults.
Firmware Upgrade
The firmware version on the Optoma 3D-RF Glasses is designed to properly operate with the firmware
on the Optoma 3D-RF Emitter. Firmware on the glasses is upgraded as required by the emitter. When
the emitter is upgraded, new glasses firmware is loaded on the emitter. When glasses are powered on
and find the upgraded emitter, the emitter sends the new firmware to the glasses and they restart. This
process takes several seconds to complete. The glasses LED will blink slowly while the new firmware is
being received and written to memory. Once the upgrade is complete, the glasses will automatically
restart.
The firmware version can be restored to the factory installed version by restoring factory defaults.
