4. WEARING THE HEAD-MOUNTED DISPLAY MODULE

1. Remove the protective lens caps.

2. Loosen or tighten the over-the-head strap to a comfortable fit.

Note: Tightening the over-the-head strap can reduce the pressure of the HMD onto the nose and face. If you feel

that you can’t breathe properly or that the device is pressing too hard on your cheekbones, the strap is set too

long. This can also help redistribute the weight to make the device feel lighter.

3. If you need to adjust the thick cable, gently pull it from the strap box.

4. Pull the lateral head strap fasteners for a more secure fit.

5. Adjust the lenses by moving the independent focal adjustment levers to match

your vision.

5. SETTING UP YOUR IR POSITIONAL TRACKING CAMERA (OPTIONAL)

1. Mount the IR Positional Tracking Camera to the camera stand.

2. Place the IR Positional Tracking Camera near your monitor.

3. Connect the IR Positional Tracking Camera to your PC.

*Recommended Camera Placement

Note: Ensure that the

camera is within the

same level as the HMD

for tracking to work

properly. Move mirrors

and other reflective

objects that are visible

to the camera.

4. Connect the IR camera sync plug of the Split Cable to the IR Positional Tracking

Camera.

5. Position yourself within 3 meters in front of the IR Positional Tracking Camera.

Note: Ensure that your position is free of clutter and moving objects. For optimal performance, use the

OSVR Hacker Development Kit in a dimly lit room.

8. SAFETY AND MAINTENANCE

Ensure that you have read the warnings below carefully before using the OSVR Hacker Development Kit

to reduce the risk of accidents, personal injury, discomfort, and/or property damage.

COMFORT

Make sure the headset is properly levelled on your head and that the screen only shows

a single clear image. Adjust the straps properly; too tight and it will pinch your ears or

too lose and it will slide down your head. Remove the foam inserts if you still find the

headset sliding down your nose. Avoid wearing glasses when using the headset, doing

so may cause discomfort and facial injuries. If you have poor eyesight, it is recommended

that you customize the independent distance adjustment knobs to better suit your eyes

or wear contact lenses.

Ease into the use of the headset to allow your body to adjust; use the device only a few

minutes at a time for the first few days then increase the amount gradually as you grow

accustomed to virtual reality. Do not use the device when you are tired, need sleep, are

under the influence of alcohol or drugs, as this can increase your susceptibility to adverse

symptoms. Take a 10 to 15 minute break every hour, even if you don’t think you need it.

Each person is different, so take more frequent and longer breaks if you feel discomfort.

If the virtual-reality experience does not require lower body movement, remain seated

at all times.

SAFETY GUIDELINES

In order to achieve maximum safety while using your OSVR Hacker Development Kit, we

suggest that you adopt the following guidelines:

1. Should you have trouble operating the device properly, unplug and/or remove the

device and go to osvr.org/support.html for assistance. Do not attempt to fix the

device yourself.

2. Do not take apart the device (doing so will void your 30-day warranty) and do not

attempt to operate it under abnormal current loads.

3. Do not expose the device to liquids. Exposing the product to these conditions may

result in an electric shock.

4. Do not use abrasive cleaners and/or harsh cleaning agents to clean the headset.

5. Do not expose the device to extremely high or low temperatures such as leaving

the headset in direct sunlight or in snowy weather for extended periods of time.

6. Do not expose the device to open flames such as stoves, candles, or fireplaces.

7. Dispose the product in accordance with your local environmental laws and

guidelines.

8. Do not use the product if any cable is damaged or any wires are exposed. Doing

so may result in an electric shock.

9. Use only the power adapter provided with the product to avoid short-circuiting

the system.

10. Do not tamper or abuse the product; including but not limited to dropping,

shaking, crushing, excessive bending, puncturing, shredding, or inserting foreign

objects into the device.

11. Do not expose the device to fine solid objects such as dust, dirt, and sand.

12. Avoid placing the product near devices that emit radio waves such as mobile

phones, radio transmitters and Wi-Fi routers as it can be affected by their

magnetic interference.

13.Stop using the device if you feel that the headset too warm. Prolonged contact

with an overheated device can cause skin damage.

MAINTENANCE

Use the puffer with removable brush to ensure that the lenses are clean. Keep the lenses

scratch-free for clear visibility. Keep your face clean and dry when wearing the HMD

module to prevent dirt buildup and to avoid deteriorating the quality of the foam

cushions. Do not paint the OSVR Hacker Development Kit. Paint can clog the device’s

moving parts or ventilation openings and prevent proper operation.

HEALTH WARNING

Some people may experience severe dizziness, seizures, epileptic seizures or blackouts

triggered by light flashes or patterns. This may occur while watching TV, playing video

games, or experiencing virtual reality, even if they have no history of blackouts, seizures,

or epilepsy. Anyone who has had a seizure, loss of awareness, or other symptoms linked

to an epileptic condition should see a doctor before using the headset. We also

recommend seeing a doctor before using the headset if you are pregnant, elderly, or

suffering from a heart condition or other serious medical condition. Immediately

discontinue use if you experience seizures, loss of awareness, eye strain, eye or muscle

twitching, involuntary movements, altered, blurred, or double vision or other visual

abnormalities. Do not use the device if you have symptoms of squint, amblyopia, or

anisometropia as this device may aggravate these symptoms.

The headset produces an immersive virtual reality experience that can distract the user

from and completely blocks his view of the actual surroundings. Always be aware of your

surroundings when using the headset. Remain seated whenever possible and take

special care to ensure that you are not near other people, objects, stairs, balconies,

windows, furniture, or other items that you can trip over, bump into, or knock down

when using—or immediately after using—the headset. Do not handle sharp or otherwise

dangerous objects while using the device. Never wear the headset in situations that

require attention, such as walking, bicycling, or driving.

It is not advisable for children under the age of thirteen to watch videos or play games

using the device as it may affect their visual development. Prolonged usage could

negatively impact hand-eye coordination, balance, and multi-tasking ability in children.

Keep the headset and all its parts and accessories out of the reach of small children to

avoid accidents and/or injuries.

When using the OSVR Hacker Development Kit, limit your usage time and ensure that

you take frequent breaks. Stop using the device the moment you feel any discomfort.

People who are prone to motion sickness may also experience the same discomfort

when using the device. Immediately stop using the device the moment you feel sick,

dizzy, disoriented, excessively sweaty, lightheaded, or drowsy. Do not use the device

when suffering from a cold, flu, headache, migraine, or earache as this can increase your

susceptibility to adverse symptoms. Do not use the device until all symptoms have

completely subsided for several hours. Make sure you have properly configured the

product before resuming use.
