ImportantSafetyInformation–ReadBeforeUse
Read the following warnings and information before use of the product and follow all product safety and operating
instructions. Failure to do so may cause bodily injury, electric shock, fire, or other personal injury, property damage or
even death. If you allow others to use the product, you are responsible for ensuring each user is aware of and follows all
product safety and operating instructions.
Ensure You Are Able to Safely Use the Product
Consult your doctor before using the product if you have pre-existing serious medical conditions (such as a heart ailment),
conditions that affect your ability to safely perform physical activities, psychiatric conditions (such as anxiety disorders
or post-traumatic stress disorder), or if you are pregnant or elderly.
Do not use the product if you are sick, fatigued, under the influence of intoxicants/drugs, or are not feeling generally well,
as it may exacerbate your condition.
Ensure the Area Around You is Safe for Use of the Product
While wearing the product’s headset you are blind to the world around you. The image displayed in the headset will not match the real
world. Always use the product in a clear and safe area. Do not rely on the product’s chaperone system for protection. Do not use near
stairways, large windows, balconies, heat sources, or outdoors. Clear the play area of people, furniture, and other things that may be
obstacles, tripping hazards, or that block you from freely moving around. For example, if a pet comes into the room while you are using
the product, you likely will not be aware of the pet’s presence and you could trip over your pet while moving in the virtual reality environment.
Do not move outside the set play area. Use outdoors is not recommended. Injuries may occur from losing balance on uneven surfaces or
from tripping over or running into objects. Do not handle sharp objects, hot liquids, or other potentially hazardous items while wearing the
product’s headset. Do not use while driving or engaging in activities that require the ability to view your surroundings.
It is recommended that the product be used only while under the supervision of another person who is ready to warn of hazards that
may arise while the product is being used. Examples of hazards that could arise include, but are not limited to, tangling of a cable in a
manner that presents a tripping hazard, pets entering the area where the product is being used, and the user walking too close to a wall
or another hazard.
Be Aware of the Cable and Connections
Keep in mind the location of the cable and connections running from the headset so that you are not likely to trip over or
pull on them while moving around or walking around the play area. Move your feet slowly and carefully to avoid tripping,
including on the cable. Make sure to maintain good footing. Tripping over the cable or contacting obstacles could cause
injury or damage.
Take Care of the Controllers
While using the hand controllers, always check that you have sufficient overhead and surrounding clearance to allow
you to fully extend your arms outward and upwards. Hitting persons or objects may cause injury or damage. Hold the
controllers firmly and always use the wrist straps. If released while using, the controller may cause injury or damage to
surrounding persons, pets, or objects.
Photosensitive Seizures
Like other products that produce visual effects (including light flashes), the product may trigger epileptic seizures,
seizures, fainting, or severe dizziness even in people who have no history of these conditions. If you have a previous
history of epilepsy or seizures, loss of awareness, or other symptoms linked to an epileptic condition, consult your doctor
before using the product. To reduce the likelihood of a seizure do not use the product if you are tired or need sleep.
Repetitive Stress Injuries
Operate the product in a comfortable posture. Do not grip the product too tightly. Press the buttons lightly. If you have
tingling, numbness, stiffness, throbbing, or other discomfort, immediately stop using the product and consult your doctor.
Physical and Psychological Effects
Content viewed using the product can be intense, immersive, and appear very life-like and may cause your brain and
body to react accordingly. Certain types of content (e.g. violent, scary, emotional, or adrenaline-based content) could
trigger increased heart rate, spikes in blood pressure, panic attacks, anxiety, PTSD, fainting, and other adverse effects.
If you have a history of negative physical or psychological reactions to certain real life circumstances, avoid using the
product to view similar content.
Similarly, it is important to remember that simulated objects, such as furniture, that may be encountered while using the
product do not exist in the real world, and injuries may result when interacting with those simulated objects as if they
were real, for example, by attempting to sit down on a virtual chair.
Radio Frequency Interference
The product can emit radio waves that can interfere with the operation of nearby electronic devices. If you have a cardiac
pacemaker or other implanted medical device, do not use the product until you have consulted with your doctor or the
manufacturer of your medical device. To minimize radio frequency interference, use only original manufacturer-approved
accessories, or accessories that do not contain any metal. Use of non-original manufacturer-approved accessories may
violate your local radio frequency exposure guidelines and should be avoided.
Avoid Overuse
Prolonged, uninterrupted use of the product should be avoided. It may negatively impact hand-eye coordination, balance,
and/or cause other negative effects. While using the product frequently and for prolonged periods of time, you may
experience tiredness or soreness in your muscles, joints, or other body parts. Take regular breaks from using the product.
The length and frequency of necessary breaks may vary from person to person.
