Seizures
Some people (about 1 in 4000) may have severe dizziness, seizures, epileptic
seizures or blackouts triggered by light flashes or patterns, and this may
occur while they are watching TV, playing video games or experiencing
virtual reality, even if they have never had a seizure or blackout before or
have no history of seizures or epilepsy. Such seizures are more common
in children and young people under the age of 20. Anyone who has had
a seizure, loss of awareness, or other symptoms linked to an epileptic
condition should consult a physician before using the Gear VR for S6.
Children
The Gear VR for S6 should not be used by children under the age of 13.
Adults should monitor children (age 13 and older) who are using or have
used the Gear VR for S6 for any of the symptoms described below, and
should limit the time children spend using the Gear VR for S6 and ensure
they take breaks during use. Prolonged use should be avoided, as this could
negatively impact hand-eye coordination, balance, and multi-tasking ability.
Adults should monitor children closely during and after use of the Gear VR
for S6 for any decrease in these abilities.

General instructions and precautions
You should always follow these instructions and observe these precautions
while using the Gear VR for S6 to reduce the risk of injury or discomfort.
Use only in a safe environment
•
The Gear VR for S6 produces an immersive virtual reality experience that
distracts you from and blocks your view of your actual surroundings.
For the safest experience, always remain seated when using the Gear
VR for S6. Take special care to ensure that you are not near other
people, objects, stairs, balconies, windows, furniture, or other items that
you can bump into or knock down when using, or immediately after
using, the Gear VR for S6. Do not handle sharp or otherwise dangerous
objects while using the Gear VR for S6. Never wear the Gear VR for S6 in
situations that require attention, such as walking, bicycling, or driving.
•
Make sure the Gear VR for S6 is level and secured comfortably on your
head, and that you see a single, clear image.
8

•
Ease into the use of the Gear VR for S6 to allow your body to adjust. Use
for only a few minutes at a time at first, and only increase the amount
of time using the Gear VR for S6 gradually as you grow accustomed to
virtual reality. Looking around when first entering virtual reality can help
you adjust to any small differences between your real-world movements
and the resulting virtual reality experience.
•
A comfortable virtual reality experience requires an unimpaired sense of
motion and balance. Do not use the Gear VR for S6 when you are tired,
need sleep, are under the influence of alcohol or drugs, are hung-over,
have digestive problems, are under emotional stress or anxiety, or when
suffering from cold, flu, headaches, migraines, or earaches, as this can
increase your susceptibility to adverse symptoms.
•
Do not use the Gear VR for S6 while in a moving vehicle such as a
car, bus, or train, as this can increase your susceptibility to adverse
symptoms.
•
Take at least a 10 to 15 minute break every 30 minutes, even if you don’t
think you need it. Each person is different, so take more frequent and
longer breaks if you feel discomfort. You should decide what works best.

•
The Gear VR for S6 may be equipped with a “passthrough” feature
which permits you to temporarily see your surroundings for brief real
world interaction. You should always remove the Gear VR for S6 for any
situation that requires attention or coordination.
•
Stop using the Gear VR for S6 if it seems to be hot. Prolonged contact
with an overheated device can cause burns.
•
Do not wear the Gear VR for S6 without the Samsung GALAXY S6
attached.
•
Listening to sound at high volumes can cause irreparable damage to
your hearing. Background noise, as well as continued exposure to high
volume levels, can make sounds seem quieter than they actually are.
Due to immersive nature of virtual reality, do not use the Gear VR for S6
with the sound at a high volume so that you can maintain awareness of
your surroundings and reduce the risk of hearing damage.

Discomfort
•
Immediately discontinue use if anyone using the Gear VR for S6
experiences any of the following symptoms: seizures, loss of awareness,
eye strain, eye or muscle twitching, involuntary movements, altered,
blurred, or double vision or other visual abnormalities, dizziness,
disorientation, impaired balance, impaired hand-eye coordination,
excessive sweating, increased salivation, nausea, lightheadedness,
discomfort or pain in the head or eyes, drowsiness, fatigue, or any
symptoms similar to motion sickness.
•
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.
11

•
Do not drive, operate machinery, or engage in other visually or physically
demanding activities that have potentially serious consequences (i.e.,
activities in which experiencing any symptoms could lead to death,
personal injury, or damage to property), or other activities that require
unimpaired balance and hand-eye coordination (such as playing
sports or riding a bicycle, etc.) until you have fully recovered from any
symptoms.
•
Do not use the Gear VR for S6 until all symptoms have completely
subsided for several hours. Make sure you have properly configured the
Gear VR for S6 before resuming use.
•
Be mindful of the type of content that you were using prior to the onset
of any symptoms because you may be more prone to symptoms based
upon the content being used.
•
Consult a physician if you have serious and/or persistent symptoms.
12

Repetitive stress injury
Prolonged use of the Gear VR for S6 and input devices (e.g. controllers) can
make your muscles, joints or skin hurt. If any part of your body becomes
tired or sore while playing, or if you feel symptoms such as tingling,
numbness, burning or stiffness, stop and rest for several hours before
playing again. If you continue to have any of the above symptoms or other
discomfort during or after play, stop using the Gear VR for S6 and consult a
physician.
Radio frequency interference
The Gear VR for S6 can emit radio waves that can affect the operation of
nearby electronics, including cardiac pacemakers. If you have a pacemaker
or other implanted medical device, do not use the Gear VR for S6 without
first consulting your physician or the manufacturer of your medical device.

•
Do not modify or disassemble any of the components provided.
•
Do not use the Gear VR for S6 if any cable is damaged or any wires are
exposed.

sunlight may cause damage to your Gear VR for S6 or other surroundings.

You can connect the charger to the charging port on the Gear
VR for S6. Use only Samsung-approved USB cables and 2A power
adapters.
–
If you use the Gear VR for S6 while the charger is connected,
it is powered by the charger and does not use the Samsung
GALAXY S6’s battery. When you use content that has high
power demand (more than 1A) while the charger is connected,
the Gear VR for S6 uses two power sources. In high power
demand situations, the Gear VR for S6 is powered by the charger
and the Samsung GALAXY S6’s battery at the same time.
–
If the Gear VR for S6 is disconnected from the charger while the
Gear VR for S6 is being used, the image on the screen may be
briefly inactive. During this period, the screen recalibrates and
the Gear VR for S6 may not recognize your head movements.

the Samsung GALAXY S6’s battery will be charged.
