Health and safety warnings

Please ensure that all users of the Gear VR read the warnings below carefully before using the Gear VR to reduce the risk of personal injury, discomfort or property damage.

• These health and safety warnings are periodically updated for accuracy and completeness. Check oculus.com/warnings for the latest version.

Before using the Gear VR

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

• The Gear VR should be adjusted for each individual user, and calibrated by using the configuration software (if available) before starting a virtual reality experience. Failure to follow this instruction may increase the risk of discomfort.

• We recommend consulting a physician 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.

Seizures

Some people (about 1 in 4,000) 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 symptoms linked to an epileptic condition should consult a physician before using the Gear VR.

Children

The Gear VR should not be used by children under the age of 13. 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.

General instructions and precautions

You should always follow these instructions and observe these precautions while using the Gear VR to reduce the risk of injury or discomfort.
