Question 1. How to check the product serial number?

Answer 1: When registering the product, please check the serial number at the bottom of the product's outer box.

Question 2. Why can't the buttons on the glasses operate the OSD after connecting the Dock?

Answer 2: When the glasses are connected to the Dock, the buttons on the glasses cannot control the OSD (on-screen display).

At this time, operation will be taken over by the five-way key of the ROG Control Dock, providing complete control functions. This is the current design of the product in Dock mode, centralizing operation on the Dock to ensure a stable and consistent user experience.
