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.

Read me first

•

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.

Read me first

•

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.

Read me first

•

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.

Read me first

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.

Electrical shock

To reduce risk of electric shock, follow the warnings below.

•

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 damage

Front cover

Getting started

•

You can connect the charger to the charging port on the Gear VR for S6. Use only Samsung-approved USB cables and 2A power adaptors.

–

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 recognise your head movements.

–

If the Gear VR for S6 is not used while the charger is connected, the Samsung GALAXY S6’s battery will be charged.

Getting started

•

To save energy, unplug the charger when not in use. The charger does not have a power switch, so you must unplug the charger from the electric socket when not in use to avoid wasting power. The charger should remain close to the electric socket and easily accessible while charging.
