Minors
It is the responsibility of an adult supervisor to monitor use of the Freey VR by children
(age 14-18). The Freey VR is not recommended for use below the age of 14 due to possible
impacts on hand-eye coordinaon, balance and mul-tasking ability. The Freey VR has
a number of small parts held in place by 6 screws. Ensure that these are not loosened or
undone so that the small parts present a choking hazard for young children.
The user should NOT take the product apart and we bear no responsibility for liability nor
product guarantee if user undoes the screws.
Safe Use
When using the Freey VR, your vision is 100% obscured and when using headphones, your
capacity to hear what is happening in your surroundings is reduced. Therefore, it is your
responsibility to ensure you use the Freey VR in a safe secure environment free of nearby
obstrucons. We recommend using the Freey VR in an oce chair which can freely rotate
360 degrees.
