balconies, windows, open doorways, low ceilings,
ceiling fans, light fixtures, breakable items, open
flames, heat sources, or any other items you can

Discomfort
Some people may experience dry eyes,
eye strain, eye or muscle twitching, involuntary
movements, altered, blurred or double vision
or other visual abnormalities, dizziness, light
headedness, disorientation, discomfort or pain
in the head or eyes, headache, impaired balance,
impaired hand-eye coordination, excessive
sweating, increased salivation, nausea, fatigue, loss
of awareness, or seizures or other symptoms of
motion sickness, when using mixed reality.
When you start to use mixed reality, keep your first
sessions short and take regular breaks. If you feel
discomfort, stop using the headset and continue
only after the symptoms have disappeared. Do not
drive, operate machinery, or engage in other visually
or physically demanding activities until you have
fully recovered from any symptoms.
Consider consulting a doctor if you are not able to
view the virtual objects clearly and comfortably.
Overuse
Take regular breaks when using the
headset. Prolonged use may impact your hand-eye
coordination or balance and may cause other
negative effects.
Repetitive stress injuries
Use the headset in a comfortable position.
Do not use excess force when gripping the headset
or pressing the buttons. If you experience tingling,
numbness, burning, stiffness, throbbing, or other
discomfort, stop using the headset and rest until
you have fully recovered from any symptoms. If you
continue to experience these symptoms, consult a
doctor.
Interference with medical
devices
The headset may emit radio waves, which could
affect the operation of nearby electronics, including
cardiac pacemakers, hearing aids and defibrillators.
If you have a pacemaker or other implanted
medical device, do not use the headset without first
consulting a doctor or the manufacturer of your
medical device. Maintain a safe distance between
the headset and your medical devices and stop
using the headset if you observe any interference
with your medical device.
Hearing loss
Excessive exposure to loud sounds can
cause hearing damage. When you start using
compatible headphones with the headset, start
with the volume at a low level and then increase the
volume slowly. Do not turn up the volume too high.
Seizures
Some people may experience severe
dizziness, fainting, epileptic seizures or blackouts
triggered by light flashes, patterns, or exposure to
infrared light sources of an eye tracker even though
they have no history of these conditions. If you
experience any of these symptoms, stop using the
headset and consult a doctor. If you have a previous
history with these symptoms, consult a doctor
before using the headset. To reduce the likelihood
of a seizure, do not use the headset when you are
tired.

protection against impact, debris, chemicals, UV
light, other harmful lights, particles, projectiles, or
