• Page 11: About The Gear Vr

  About the Gear VR The Samsung Gear™ VR powered by Oculus™ (also referred to as Gear VR) is a headmounted, virtual reality device that provides an immersive experience for a wide range of users. When you connect a compatible mobile device to the Gear VR, you can enjoy multimedia content and play games by launching apps on the mobile device.

• Page 12
  • The Gear VR cannot be operated by itself. For a list of compatible devices, go to the device’s product page on www .samsung .com. Important: Some languages or content may not be available depending on the region or network. To view the open source license…

• Page 13: Support

  For more information and additional support, please visit the main www .samsung .com support page. • Get support for your Samsung Gear VR online. • Review your Gear VR’s troubleshooting FAQs, and solutions. Note: Mobile devices and software are constantly evolving—screen images you see here are for reference only.

• Page 14: Wearing The Gear Vr

  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.

• Page 15
  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.
• Page 16
  • 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 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.

  • 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.
• Page 19
  • 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.

• Page 20: Before Using The Gear Vr Headset

  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;…

• Page 21
  • 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.
• Page 22
  • 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…
• Page 23
  • 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.

• Page 24: Additional Notifications

  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.
