Wearing the Gear VR
Warning: Although eyeglasses can be worn inside Gear VR, they
should be removed if the user experiences discomfort. If the
discomfort continues and these glasses are not removed, this could
cause facial injuries. If you have poor eyesight, we recommended
wearing 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 a lens
cleaning cloth.
Caution: 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.
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.
14
These Health and Safety warnings are periodically updated for
accuracy and completeness. Check both www.samsung.com and
oculus.com/warnings for the latest updated content.
The Gear VR should not be used by children under the age of 13,
•
as young children are in a critical period in visual development.
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 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.
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.
Read me first 15
A comfortable virtual reality experience requires an unimpaired
•
sense of motion and balance. Do not use the Gear VR when you are
tired, need sleep, are under the inuence of alcohol or drugs, are
hung-over, have digestive problems, are under emotional stress
or anxiety, or when suffering from cold, u, headaches, migraines,
or earaches, as this can increase your susceptibility to adverse
symptoms.
We recommend seeing a doctor before using the Gear VR if you are
•
pregnant, elderly, have pre-existing binocular vision abnormalities
or psychiatric disorders, or suffer from a heart condition or other
serious medical condition.
The factory lens protectors are pre-installed on the Gear VR.
•
Remove these lens protectors before you use the Gear VR so you
can see clearly.
Ensure the lenses are not scratched and keep them clean for clear
•
visibility.
16
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 mobile device’s
•
screen locks and the touch pad stops working.
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.
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. 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.
Read me first 17
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 stay on and drain the battery.
Refer to your mobile device online support material for more
•
information.
Always be aware of your surroundings before beginning use and
•
while using the Gear VR. Use caution to avoid injury.
Use of the Gear VR may cause loss of balance.
•
Remove tripping hazards from the area before using the Gear VR.
•
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 for you.
The Gear VR may be equipped with a “pass-through” 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.
18
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 the virtual reality
experience, 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.

Before Using the Gear VR
Headset
Read and follow all set up and operating instructions provided
•
with the Gear VR. Immediately discontinue use if anyone using
the Gear VR 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.
The connected mobile device should be fully loaded with any new
•
software updates prior to its initial use with the Gear VR.
The Gear VR should be adjusted for each individual user, and
•
calibrated before starting a virtual reality experience. Failure to
follow this instruction may increase the risk of discomfort.
20
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.
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 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.
Read me first 21
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.
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 until all symptoms have completely
•
subsided for several hours. Make sure you have properly
congured the Gear VR 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.
22
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.
Using the Gear VR can make your muscles, joints or skin hurt. If
•
any part of your body becomes tired or sore while using the
Gear VR, or if you feel symptoms such as tingling, numbness,
burning or stiffness, stop and rest for several hours before using
the Gear VR again. If you continue to have any of the above
symptoms or other discomfort during or after play, stop using the
Gear VR and see a doctor.
Use care when using earphones that contain magnets and can
•
emit radio waves. These can affect the operation of nearby
electronics, including cardiac pacemakers hearing aids and
debrillators. If you have a pacemaker or other implanted medical
device, do not use the Gear VR without rst consulting your doctor
or the manufacturer of your medical device. Maintain a safe
distance between the Gear VR and your medical devices, and stop
using the Gear VR if you observe a persistent interference with
your medical device.

Additional Notications
The connected mobile device 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 mobile
device’s lifespan or performance.
When using apps that require a higher amount of power or using
•
these apps for an extended period, the mobile device may feel
hot to the touch. When the Gear VR detects high temperature, a
message appears on the screen warning you to stop wearing the
Gear VR and to wait until it cools down. Stop using the Gear VR
until the mobile device has cooled down, then resume use. This
is normal and should not affect the mobile device’s lifespan or
performance.
24
The mobile device’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: Use only Samsung-approved accessories. Using unapproved
accessories may cause performance problems and malfunctions that
are not covered by the warranty. Factory lens protectors are preinstalled on the Gear VR. Remove the lens protectors before you use
the Gear VR so you can see clearly.
When you are not wearing the Gear VR, do not place objects on the
internal proximity sensor. Doing so may cause the proximity sensor
to remain on and drain the connected mobile device’s battery.
Read me first 25
If you use a third-party controller, consult the manufacturer for
•
health and safety warnings for the controller. Always use included
wrist straps with controllers to secure the controller to your wrist
when in use.
Do not modify or open any of the components provided.
•
Do not use the product if any cable is damaged or any wires are
•
exposed.
If a power adapter is provided, do not expose it to liquid or
•
moisture.
Note: The Gear VR does not come with a power adapter and receives
its power from the connected mobile device.
Unplug the mobile device power adapter before cleaning, and
•
clean only with a dry cloth.
Keep the power adapter away from open ames and other heat
•
sources.
Do not use your device if any part is broken or damaged.
•
26
Do not attempt to repair any part of your device yourself. Repairs
•
should only be made by an authorized servicer.
To avoid transferring contagious conditions (like pink eye), do
•
not share the Gear VR with persons with contagious conditions,
infections or diseases, particularly of the eyes, skin or scalp. The
Gear VR should be cleaned between each use with skin-friendly
antibacterial wipes (particularly the lenses) and dried with a
microber cloth.
Do not leave the Gear VR in direct sunlight. Exposure to direct
•
sunlight can damage the Gear VR.
Do not shine a laser or external light source through the lenses as
•
it may damage the screen.
Store components in their storage case when not in use to
•
minimize unintentional damage or environmental exposure.
