4. Place the VR Headset onto your head (after making necessary
adjustments for Head Strap, Focal and Pupil Distances).
5. Now you can explore, play & imagine your world in Virtual
Reality!
Adjusting Head Strap, Focal & Pupil Distances
Head Strap: Place the VR Headset on your head. Move the left,
right and top straps at the Head Strap hooks (
2
), making sure it
sits comfortably, but firmly on your forehead, nose and cheeks.
Adjusting the Focal Distance (FD): Focal Distance is the ‘lens
depth’ or how far an object is away from your eyes. Twist the
Focal Distance (FD) Dials (
3
) back and forth until you find a
comfortable distance. Each dial is able to be individually adjusted
for full customisation. Short-sighted users will find this handy as
it removes the requirement for glasses to be worn while using
the VR Headset.
Adjusting the Pupil Distance (PD): Pupil Distance (PD) is the
distance between a users pupils (usually 55-75mm). By adjusting
the Pupil Distance (PD) Dial (
4
) to your specific measurement -
you can achieve best focus.
Ventilation
If your Smartphone gets too hot while viewing content, you can
remove the Ventilation Cover (
5
).
Using Earphones or Charging Cables
You can charge your Smartphone and listen on earphones while
using the VR Headset. Make sure to use a long cable and be sure
it is out of the way of your movements. Use the available Cable
Cavities (
6
) to feed your Earphones or Charging Cables through
to your Smartphone.
