Carefully read and follow the warnings and instructions below before using PlayStation®VR. Failure to read and follow the warnings and instructions could result in serious injury.

• PS VR is not for use by children under age 12.

• Wearing the VR headset will completely block your ability to see your surroundings.PS VR does not detect obstacles. Review surroundings and clear obstacles from an area larger than the Play Area ( page 8) before use.Make sure you are not near any walls, stairs, furniture, or other obstacles that you may collide with or trip over.

• Remain in the center of the Play Area and do not walk around while wearing the VR headset. Remain seated whenever possible. If an application requires you to stand while wearing the VR headset, follow the application instructions carefully, and maintain awareness of your surroundings.

• Take steps to prevent pets, persons, or other obstacles from entering an area larger than the Play Area during use.

• Before use, check that the VR headset connection cable is not wrapped around your body or legs, and check frequently during use.

• Avoid extreme or excessive movements of the head, hands, or body while wearing the VR headset.

• Some people may experience motion sickness, nausea, disorientation, blurred vision, or other discomfort or other abnormalities. If experienced, stop using immediately, and remove the VR headset. If you experience symptoms during or after use, rest, and do not engage in any activities that

require unimpaired vision, balance or coordination until after symptoms have completely disappeared.

• Avoid prolonged use of PS VR. Take frequent breaks.

• Do not use PS VR if you are tired, dizzy, light-headed, nauseated, sick, under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or have an impaired sense of motion or balance. Consult a doctor before using PS VR if you are pregnant or suffer from a serious medical condition.

• Keep this product out of the reach of small children. Small children may swallow small parts, may pull on cables and cause the processor unit or VR headset to fall, or may wrap the cables around themselves, which may inflict injury or cause an accident or a malfunction.

Photosensitivity/Epilepsy/Seizures

A very small percentage of individuals may experience epileptic seizures or blackouts when exposed to certain light patterns or flashing lights. Exposure to certain patterns or backgrounds on a television screen or when playing video games may trigger epileptic seizures or blackouts in these individuals. These conditions may trigger previously undetected epileptic symptoms or seizures in persons who have no history of prior seizures or epilepsy. If you, or anyone in your family, has an epileptic condition or has had seizures of any kind, consult your doctor before playing.

IMMEDIATELY DISCONTINUE USE and consult your doctor before resuming gameplay if you or your child experience any of the following health problems or symptoms: Dizziness, altered vision, eye or muscle twitches, loss of awareness, disorientation, seizures, or any involuntary movement or convulsion.

Parents and guardians of children should read this manual and make sure that the child follows all safety precautions. For more information on product safety and support, visit our website ( back cover).

Use and handling

• Before connecting, check that the connectors are free of dust and small particles.

• Do not swing the VR headset or the AC adaptor around by their cables.

• Do not remove the VR headset or unplug the VR headset connection cable until the tracking lights on the headset are turned off. Removing or unplugging while the lights are on may cause a malfunction.

• Do not place objects on the product, throw or drop the product, or otherwise expose it to strong physical impact.

• Do not block the processor unit's vents, and do not use the product in a closed cabinet or other locations where heat may build up.

• Do not touch the AC adaptor, AC power cord or processor unit during an electrical storm.

• Do not allow liquid or small particles to get into the product (ports, vents, etc.). If this happens, stop use and disconnect it from the electrical outlet immediately.

• Do not expose the product to dust, smoke or steam. Dust or other matter can cause fire or electric shock.

• Do not expose the product to high temperatures, high humidity, or direct sunlight.

• Do not place this product on an unstable surface or leave it on the floor.

• Avoid prolonged bodily contact with the processor unit, AC adaptor, or air from the vents when the product is turned on. Extended contact may cause low-temperature burns*.

* Low-temperature burns are burns that occur when the skin is

in contact with objects of relatively low temperatures (40 °C or more/104°F or more) for an extended period of time.

• Permanent hearing loss may occur if your stereo headset or headphones are used at high volume. Set the volume to a safe level. Over time, increasingly loud audio may start to sound normal but can actually be damaging your hearing. If you experience ringing or any discomfort in your ears or muffled speech, stop listening and have your hearing checked. The louder the volume, the sooner your hearing could be affected. To protect your hearing:

– Limit the amount of time you use the stereo headset or

headphones at high volume. – Avoid raising the volume to block out noisy surroundings. – Lower the volume if you can't hear people speaking near

you.

• Do not use the VR headset, stereo headphones, or stereo headset if they cause discomfort to your skin. If the headset or headphones cause discomfort to your skin, discontinue use immediately. If symptoms do not subside even after discontinuing use, seek medical attention.

• If you experience discomfort or pain in a part of the body, such as head, eyes, ears, hands, arms, or legs, discontinue use of the system immediately. If symptoms persist, consult your doctor.

• When using the stereo headset or headphones in particularly dry air conditions, you may sometimes experience a small and quick (static) shock on your ears. This is a result of static electricity accumulated in the body, and is not a malfunction of your stereo headset or headphones.

• Follow the precautions below to help prevent the product exterior from deteriorating or discoloring.

– Do not use solvents or other chemicals on the product. – Do not allow rubber or vinyl materials to be in prolonged

contact with the product.

Wearing the VR headset

• It is important that you place the VR headset on your head properly during use.

– To see instructions on how to wear the headset, go to the

PlayStation®4 system's function screen, and then select

(Settings) [Devices] [PlayStation VR]. – Do not overtighten the adjustment dial ( page 11). – You can continue to wear your glasses while wearing the

VR headset. When adjusting the scope position ( page 10), be careful not to let the internal lenses ( page 11) and your glasses come into contact with each other.

• Regularly check the VR headset's fit to ensure it is being worn properly.

VR headset screen

• Black (dark) pixels and continuously lit pixels may appear in certain locations on the screen. The appearance of such spots is a normal occurrence associated with screens and is

not a sign of a system malfunction. Screens are made using highly precise technology. However, a very small number of dark pixels or continuously lit pixels may exist and color irregularities or brightness irregularities may be visible on each screen.

• Keep the VR headset’s attachment sensor ( page 11) free from any obstacles. If the attachment sensor is blocked, th e screen will not turn off automatically even if you remove the headset. If an image appears on the screen for an extended period of time, it might cause a screen burn and a faint image might remain permanently on the screen.
