Read me first
Please read this guide before using the Gear VR to ensure safe and proper use.
The Gear VR is an Innovator Edition device intended specifically for developers and early adopters of technology.
Descriptions in this guide are based on the mobile device’s default settings.
•
Important: Use the GearVR for its intended purpose only. Using the GearVR for other purposes may result in injury.
Important: The GearVR must be connected with a Samsung GALA XY Note® 4 mobile device when in use. The Gear VR cannot be operated by itself. The GALAXY Note® Edge is not compatible with the GearVR.
Note: Some languages or content may not be available depending on the region or network.
Note: To view the open source license for the Gear VR, refer to opensource.samsung.com.

Wearing the GearVR
Warning! Do not wear glasses when using the GearVR®. Doing so may cause facial injuries. If you have poor eyesight, it is recommended to wear contact lenses when using the GearVR.
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.
The factory lens protectors are pre-installed on the GearVR.
•
Remove the mobile device screen protector to get clear visibility.
•
Ensure that the lenses are not scratched and keep them clean for clear visibility.
•
The foam cushioning may get dirty if your face is sweating while wearing the Gear VR. Doing so may
•
deteriorate the quality of the foam cushioning. Ensure that you keep your face clean and dry when wearing the Gear VR.
When you remove the Gear VR from your head, the Samsung GALAXY Note 4’s screen locks and the
•
touch pad stops working.
When you are not wearing the Gear VR, do not place objects on the Gear VR’s proximity sensor. Doing
•
so may cause the proximity sensor to remain on and drain the battery.
Refer to your mobile device online support material for more information.

Precautions

Ensure that you have read the warnings below carefully before using the Gear VR to reduce the risk of personal injury, discomfort, or property damage.
The Gear VR should not be used by children under the age of 13. Watching videos or playing games with
•
the Gear VR may affect the visual development of children.
When children, age 13 or older, use the Gear VR, adults should limit their usage time and ensure they
•
take frequent breaks. Adults should monitor children closely after using the Gear VR if children feel discomfort.

Before Using the Gear VR Headset

The Gear VR 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. Such individuals should take extra care to read and follow these warnings carefully.
We recommend consulting with a doctor before using the Gear VR 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.
6
Do not use the Gear VR if you have symptoms of squint, amblyopia, or anisometropia.
•
Using the Gear VR may aggravate these symptoms.
Do not use the Gear VR when the attached mobile device is hot as this may cause mild burns.
•
To prevent any injuries, take frequent breaks when using the Gear VR.
Make sure the Gear VR is level and secured comfortably on your head, and that you see a single, clear
•
image. If you wear the Gear VR 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

The Samsung Gear VR Innovator Edition powered by Oculus™ (also referred to as Gear VR) is a headmounted, virtual reality device that provides an immersive experience for a wide range of users.

Additional Notifications
The Samsung GALAXY Note 4 may become hotter than normal when used with the Gear VR, especially
•
if you use the devices to play games for an extended period. When the Gear VR 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 Samsung GALAXY Note 4’s lifespan or performance.
The Samsung GALAXY Note 4’s battery runtime may become shorter than normal when it is used with
•
the Gear VR 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.

Note: The opposite end of this strap contains a longer velcro strip and is used to secure the top head strap to the front of the Gear VR frame.
14
Install the Mobile Device
1. Press the Phone Lock key to release the latch and raise it upwards.
Note: At this time, the GearVR is only compatible with the Samsung GALAX Y Note 4.
2. In a single motion, carefully insert the mobile device (face down) at an angle and insert the Gear VR connector (1) into the mobile device’s MicroUSB port. This process is similar to installing the mobile device into a standard charging port. Ensure that the connector is fully inserted into the mobile device’s multipurpose jack.
15
3. Once securely connected, carefully push the opposite end of the mobile device downwards (2) until the Phone Lock latch snaps onto the mobile device and holds it in place against the lenses.
Important: Do not forcefully insert the connector into the mobile device as this may damage the connector. Improper installation can cause scratching on the mobile device.
Note: Verify your mobile device is not on silent and volume is active. If the sound is not emitted when you insert the connector into the Samsung GALAX Y Note 4, the Gear VR may not have recognized it. Reconnect the mobile device until you hear the sound.
16
Beginning the Software Installation
1. After connecting the mobile device and the Gear VR for the first time, the mobile device will notify you (via audio message) that it needs to now be removed.
2. Follow the procedures described in Initial Configuration.
Note: This set up process requires an active network or Wi-Fi connection. If prompted, tap OK to accept a data connection via your cellular network.
Important: This software is required to properly use the GearVR.
Replacing the Front Cover
► Align the cover over the compartment (1) and press down firmly until it clicks/snaps closed (2).
Important: Do not forcefully insert the front cover over the mobile device. Doing so may damage the front cover.
