Pairing to an emitter
With the device off, press and hold the power button. After 1‐2 seconds the blue LED will come on.
(Normally, you would release the button at this point to power on the glasses.) Do not release the
button after the blue LED comes on, keep holding down the button. After about 10 seconds of the blue
LED on solid the blue LED will start to pulse with the same “heartbeat” pattern used by the emitter in
pairing mode. (When you see the heartbeat pattern, you must release the button within 20 seconds or
the device will go into Restore Factory Defaults mode.)
The glasses will stay in pairing mode until they successfully pair with an emitter, or until one minute
expires. While in pairing mode, the blue LED will display the “heartbeat” pattern. If the glasses find an
emitter in pairing mode, then the glasses will pair with the emitter and resume normal operation as
described in . If an emitter is not found in pairing mode, the 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 projector or 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 ZF2100 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.
Restoring Factory Defaults
Restoring a pair of glasses to factory defaults restores the factory default settings and firmware. This
includes putting the glasses in the unpaired mode.
