Wearing the Gear VR for S6

Warning! Do not wear glasses when using the Gear VR for S6. Doing so may cause facial injuries. If you have poor eyesight, we recommended wearing contact lenses when using the Gear VR for S6.
Note: Keep the lenses clean and protect them from getting scratched. If the lenses get dirty or steam up, clean them with the lens cleaning cloth.
Caution: The Gear VR for S6 can be affected by magnetic interference created by items, such as computers, TVs, or electric cables. Avoid using the Gear VR for S6 in areas affected by magnetic interference.

Before Using the Gear VR for S6 Headset

The Gear VR for S6 should be adjusted for each individual user, and calibrated by using the
•
configuration software (if available) before starting a virtual reality experience. Failure to follow this instruction may increase the risk of discomfort.
People who are prone to motion sickness in the real world also have a heightened risk of experiencing
•
discomfort while using the Gear VR for S6. Such individuals should take extra care to read and follow these warnings carefully.
We recommend consulting with a doctor before using the Gear VR for S6 if you are pregnant, elderly,
•
have psychiatric disorders, suffer from a heart condition, have pre-existing binocular vision abnormalities or suffer from a heart condition or other serious medical condition.
4
Do not use the Gear VR for S6 if you have symptoms of squint, amblyopia, or anisometropia. Using the
•
Gear VR for S6 may aggravate these symptoms.
Do not use the Gear VR for S6 when the attached mobile device is hot as this may cause burns.
•
To prevent any injuries, take frequent breaks when using the Gear VR for S6.
Make sure the Gear VR for S6 is level and secured comfortably on your head, and that you see a single,
•
clear image. If you wear the Gear VR for S6 tilted to one side, you may feel discomfort.
Just as with the symptoms people can experience after they disembark a cruise ship, symptoms of virtual
•
reality exposure can persist and become more apparent hours after use.
These post-use symptoms can include the symptoms above, as well as excessive drowsiness and
•
decreased ability to multi-task. These symptoms may put you at an increased risk of injury when engaging in normal activities in the real world.

About the Gear VR for S6

The Samsung Gear™ VR for S6 Innovator Edition powered by Oculus™ (also referred to as Gear VR for S6) is a headmounted, virtual reality device that provides an immersive experience for a wide range of users.
When you connect a GALAX Y S6 to the Gear VR for S6, you can enjoy multimedia content and play games by launching apps on the GALAX Y S6. You can use the Gear VR for S6 with the GALAXY S6 or GALAXY S6 edge and connect additional devices, such as a game controller or a Bluetooth headset, by connecting them via Bluetooth to your Galaxy S6 device.
5
Additional Notifications
The GALAXY S6 may become hotter than normal when used with the Gear VR for S6, especially if
•
you use the devices to play games for an extended period. When the Gear VR for S6 detects a high temperature, the quality of the application may be degraded or VR applications may be terminated in order to prevent overheating. This is normal and does not affect the GALAXY S6’s lifespan or performance.
The GALAXY S6’s battery runtime may become shorter than normal when it is used with the Gear VR for
•
S6 since VR applications use more of the device’s resources and may contribute to battery drain.
You may experience slow loading speed or diminished playback quality in some circumstances, such as
•
after extended use (to prevent the device from overheating) or if your carrier or Wi-Fi network is slow or out of range.
The availability of VR-enabled content and applications and language support may vary by region.
