3D Basics

Features

Samsung's SSG-5100GB 3D glasses enable you to view 

3D images on your 3D TV. The Samsung 3D glasses 

communicate with Samsung 3D TVs via the 2.4GHz RF 

band.

✎

The Samsung 3D glasses are only compatible with 

Samsung D, E, and F series 3D TV's that were 

released in 2011, 2012, and 2013. These 3D glasses 

cannot be connected to other Bluetooth devices.

Pairing 3D Active Glasses

✎

What is Pairing? Pairing is the process of connecting 

3D glasses and a 3D TV so that the two devices can 

exchange data.

✎

Ensure your Samsung TV and 3D glasses are no 

farther than 19.5 in (50 cm) apart from each other 

while pairing is in progress.

•

Turning the glasses on

Press the power button 

briefly. The green LED is 

turned on for 3 seconds. 

(Make sure that 3D is 

activated on the TV before 

using the 3D glasses.)

•

Turning the glasses off

Press the power button briefly. The red LED is turned 

on for 3 seconds.

•

Performing the pairing process

Turn the TV on and let it power up completely. Press 

and hold the Power button on the glasses. The green

✎

The working distance depends on the existence 

of obstacles (a person, metal, walls, etc.) between 

the glasses and the TV and the strength of the 

Bluetooth signal.

✎

Turn off the 3D glasses while they are not in use. 

If you leave the 3D glasses on, the battery lifespan 

decreases.

Pairing steps

1. 

Turn on the TV, and then move the glasses within 

19.5 inches of the TV.

2. 

Press the power button on the 3D glasses briefly. 

The 3D glasses will power on and pairing will start.

3. 

The message “3D glasses are connected to TV.” will 

be displayed on the TV screen when the pairing is 

successfully completed.

•

If pairing fails, the 3D glasses will power off.

•

If the first attempt to pair fails, power the TV off 

and on again and perform step 2.

•

How to pair again: Press the power button on 

the 3D glasses for more than 1 second.

Pairing is needed again in the following 

situations:

•

If the 3D glasses do not function, even when the 

power button is pressed, especially with a 3D TV 

after a repair.

•

If you want to play 3D content on another 

Samsung 3D TV model that belongs to the D, E, 

or F series released in 2011 through 2013. You 

must pair the glasses with the other TV.
