SOLUTION
Check that your ActivHub is emitting RF.
The blue LED on the side of the ActivHub
RF will flash 2 times quickly to indicate that
it is emitting RF.
Check that there is no other source using
the same RF channel within a range of 30
meters around the ActivHub RF.
Verify that the RF channel selected under
the ActivHub RF is set to position “8”.
Check that your original source is
broadcasting 3D.
When this phenomenon occurs, it means
that the battery is low. Please recharge
the glasses.
Try recharging your glasses. If the problem
persists, contact [e-mail]
8. IMPORTANT SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
-If you are unsure about your vision, take a test to verify your
ability to see stereoscopic 3D images.
-Do not sit too close to the screen when watching 3D images.
-Watching 3D may cause discomfort (such as eye strain, altered
vision, fatigue, nausea, lightheadedness, dizziness, confusion, loss
of awareness, convulsions, cramps and/or disorientation) for
some people.
Volfoni recommends that you take regular breaks when
watching 3D content or playing 3D video games until the
discomfort ends. If the discomfort persists, consult a doctor.
-Certain types of TV images or video games that contain flashing
patterns of light may cause epilepsy symptoms for some viewers.
If you or any member of your family has a history of epilepsy,
Volfoni strongly recommends that you consult a physician before
the use of this product.
-Be aware of young children, especially those under six years old.
Because their vision is still under development, consult a doctor
(such as a pediatrician or eye doctor) before allowing young
children to watch 3D. Not for children’s use without proper adult
supervision.
-If the product is broken, please keep broken pieces away from
mouth and eyes. Dispose of pieces responsibly.
-Protect the 3D system from direct sunlight, heat, or water.
Extreme conditions may alter the product's abilities.
-Do not drop or modify the electrical or mechanical components
of the 3D system.
-Do not apply force to the product.
-Do not leave the ActivHub turned ON due to Radio-Frequency.
The RF signal is not recognized.

4.3 Battery
The EDGE VR battery life is about 40H
4.3.1 Battery Level
When starting up the glasses and with a short press of the button,
the glasses will show the level of battery life by the number of
flashes of the LED:
- Low level (less than 30%): one flash
- Intermediate level (between 30 and 90%): two flashes
- High level (greater than 90%): three flashes
4.3.2 Battery Charge
The battery charging will be indicated by the LED when the USB
cable is connected:
