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.
•YourGearVR is not designedforusewith anyineligible 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.

•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 underthe influence of alcohol ordrugs, are hung-over, have digestive problems, are under emotional stress oranxiety, orwhen sufferingfrom cold,flu, 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 longerbreaks ifyoufeel 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 removethe GearVRforany 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 GearVR experiences anyofthefollowing symptoms: seizures; loss of awareness; eye strain; eye ormuscletwitching; involuntary movements; altered, blurred, ordoublevision orothervisual abnormalities; dizziness; disorientation; impaired balance; impaired hand-eye coordination; excessive sweating; increased salivation; nausea; lightheadedness; discomfort orpain inthe head oreyes; drowsiness;fatigue; oranysymptoms similarto 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 configuredthe GearVR 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 defibrillators. Ifyou have a pacemakerorotherimplanted medical device, do not usethe GearVRwithoutfirst consultingyourdoctor 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 Notifications
•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 mayexperience slowloading speed ordiminished 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.
