Please ensure that all users of the Gear VR read the warnings
below carefully before using the Gear VR to reduce the risk
of personal injury, discomfort or property damage.
•

Before using the Gear VR
•
Read and follow all setup and operating instructions

•
We recommend consulting a physician before using the
Gear VR if you are pregnant, elderly, have pre-existing
binocular vision abnormalities or psychiatric disorders,
or suffer from a heart condition or other serious medical
condition.
Seizures
Some people (about 1 in 4,000) may have severe dizziness,
seizures, epileptic seizures or blackouts triggered by light
flashes or patterns, and this may occur while they are watching
TV, playing video games or experiencing virtual reality, even
if they have never had a seizure or blackout before or have no
history of seizures or epilepsy. Such seizures are more common
in children and young people under the age of 20. Anyone who
has had a seizure, loss of awareness, or other symptoms linked
to an epileptic condition should consult a physician before
using the Gear VR.

Children
The Gear VR should not be used by children under the age of
13. Adults should monitor children (age 13 and older) who
are using or have used the Gear VR for any of the symptoms
described below, and should limit the time children spend
using the Gear VR and ensure they take breaks during use.
Prolonged use should be avoided, as this could negatively
impact hand-eye coordination, balance, and multi-tasking
ability. Adults should monitor children closely during and after
use of the Gear VR for any decrease in these abilities.

General instructions and precautions
You should always follow these instructions and observe these
precautions while using the Gear VR to reduce the risk of injury
or discomfort.
Use only in a safe environment
•
The Gear VR produces an immersive virtual reality
experience that distracts you from and blocks your view of
your actual surroundings. For the safest experience, always
remain seated when using the Gear VR. Take special care to
ensure that you are not near other people, objects, stairs,
balconies, windows, furniture, or other items that you can
bump into or knock down when using, or immediately
after using, the Gear VR. Do not handle sharp or otherwise
dangerous objects while using the Gear VR. Never wear the
Gear VR in situations that require attention, such as walking,
bicycling, or driving.

•
Make sure the Gear VR is level and secured comfortably on
your head, and that you see a single, clear image.
•
Ease into the use of the Gear VR to allow your body to
adjust. Use for only a few minutes at a time at first, and only
increase the amount of time using the Gear VR gradually
as you grow accustomed to virtual reality. Looking around
when first entering virtual reality can help you adjust to any
small differences between your real-world movements and
the resulting virtual reality experience.
•
A comfortable virtual reality experience requires an
unimpaired sense of motion and balance. Do not use the
Gear VR when you are tired, need sleep, are under the
influence of alcohol or drugs, are hung-over, have digestive
problems, are under emotional stress or anxiety, or when
suffering from cold, flu, headaches, migraines, or earaches,
as this can increase your susceptibility to adverse symptoms.
