Section 1: Health and Safety Information

Note:

The Samsung Gear VR and it’s connected mobile device should only
be used with firmware versions that have been approved for use by
the device manufacturer.

Important!

Caution!

Use the Gear VR for its intended purpose only. Using the Gear VR

for other purposes may result in injury.

The Gear VR is designed for compatibility across multiple device
types. Use care when installing or removing a compatible mobile
device.

This guide provides you with the information you need to get started and
outlines the safety precautions associated with using your device. The
terms “device” or “mobile device” are used in this section to refer to your
device. Read this information before using your mobile device. For more
information and additional support, please visit the main

support page.

Read and follow all setup and operating instructions provided with the
Gear VR.

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 symptom
linked to an epileptic condition should consult with a doctor before using
the Gear VR.

Children

The Gear VR headset should not be used by children under the age of 13,
as these children may be at increased health and safety risk.

Adults should monitor children (age 13 and older) who are using or have
used the Gear VR for any of the symptoms described below, and should
limit the time children spend using the Gear VR and ensure they take
breaks during use. Prolonged use should be avoided, as this could

Health and Safety Information 3

negatively impact hand-eye coordination, balance, and multi-tasking
ability. Adults should monitor children closely during and after use of the
Gear VR for any decrease in these abilities.

General Instructions and Precautions

Warning!

You should always follow these instructions and observe these

precautions while using the Gear VR headset to reduced the risk of
injury or discomfort.

•

Your Gear VR is not designed for use with any ineligible device, accessory and/or
software. Use of an ineligible device, accessory and/or software may result in
injury to you or others, and may cause performance issues or damage to your
system and related services.

•

The Gear VR can be affected by magnetic interference created by items, such as
computers, TVs, or electric cables. Avoid using the Gear VR in areas affected by
magnetic interference.

4

•

Use only in a safe environment. The Gear VR produces an immersive virtual
reality experience that distracts you from and blocks your view of your actual
surroundings. For the safest experience, remain seated or stationary when using
the Gear VR. Use of the Gear VR may cause loss of balance. 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 headset. Do not handle sharp or
otherwise dangerous objects while using the Gear VR. Never wear the Gear VR in
situations that require attention, such as walking, bicycling, or driving.

•

Make sure the Gear VR headset is level and secured comfortably on your head,
and that you see a single, clear image.

•

Take care not to stand up or move around while the Gear VR is "plugged in", as
this may cause injury to the user or damage the device.

•

Ease into the use of the Gear VR 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
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.

Health and Safety Information 5

•

Do not use the Gear VR 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 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.

•

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 the immersive
nature of virtual reality, do not use the Gear VR with the sound at a high volume,
so that you can maintain awareness of your surroundings and reduce the risk of
hearing damage.

•

The Gear VR 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 any situation that requires attention or
coordination.
