• People who are prone to motion sickness in the real world also have a heightened risk of experiencing discomfort while using the Gear VR. Such individuals should take extra care to read and follow these warnings carefully. • We recommend consulting with a doctor before using the Gear VR if you are pregnant, elderly, have psychiatric disorders, suffer from a heart condition, have pre-existing binocular vision abnormalities or suffer from a heart condition or other serious medical condition. • Do not use the Gear VR if you have symptoms of squint, amblyopia, or anisometropia. Using the Gear VR may aggravate these symptoms. • Do not use the Gear VR when the attached mobile device is hot as this may cause burns. To prevent any injuries, take frequent breaks when using the Gear VR. • Make sure the Gear VR is level and secured comfortably on your head, and that you see a single, clear image. If you wear the Gear VR tilted to one side, you may feel discomfort. Read me first 21
• Just as with the symptoms people can experience after they disembark a cruise ship, symptoms of virtual reality exposure can persist and become more apparent hours after use. • Do not drive, operate machinery, or engage in other visually or physically demanding activities that have potentially serious consequences (i.e., activities in which experiencing any symptoms could lead to death, personal injury, or damage to property), or other activities that require unimpaired balance and hand-eye coordination (such as playing sports or riding a bicycle, etc.) until you have fully recovered from any symptoms. • Do not use the Gear VR until all symptoms have completely subsided for several hours. Make sure you have properly congured the Gear VR before resuming use. • Be mindful of the type of content that you were using prior to the onset of any symptoms because you may be more prone to symptoms based upon the content being used. 22
• These post-use symptoms can include the symptoms above, as well as excessive drowsiness and decreased ability to multi-task. These symptoms may put you at an increased risk of injury when engaging in normal activities in the real world. • Using the Gear VR can make your muscles, joints or skin hurt. If any part of your body becomes tired or sore while using the Gear VR, or if you feel symptoms such as tingling, numbness, burning or stiffness, stop and rest for several hours before using the Gear VR again. If you continue to have any of the above symptoms or other discomfort during or after play, stop using the Gear VR and see a doctor. • Use care when using earphones that contain magnets and can emit radio waves. These can affect the operation of nearby electronics, including cardiac pacemakers hearing aids and debrillators. If you have a pacemaker or other implanted medical device, do not use the Gear VR without rst consulting your doctor or the manufacturer of your medical device. Maintain a safe distance between the Gear VR and your medical devices, and stop using the Gear VR if you observe a persistent interference with your medical device. Read me first 2 3
Additional Notications • The connected mobile device may become hotter than normal when used with the Gear VR, especially if you use the devices to play games for an extended period. When the Gear VR detects a high temperature, the quality of the application may be degraded or VR applications may be terminated in order to prevent overheating. This is normal and does not affect the mobile device’s lifespan or performance. • When using apps that require a higher amount of power or using these apps for an extended period, the mobile device may feel hot to the touch. When the Gear VR detects high temperature, a message appears on the screen warning you to stop wearing the Gear VR and to wait until it cools down. Stop using the Gear VR until the mobile device has cooled down, then resume use. This is normal and should not affect the mobile device’s lifespan or performance. 24
• The mobile device’s battery runtime may become shorter than normal when it is used with the Gear VR since VR applications use more of the device’s resources and may contribute to battery drain. • You may experience slow loading speed or diminished playback quality in some circumstances, such as after extended use (to prevent the device from overheating) or if your carrier or Wi-Fi network is slow or out of range. • The availability of VR-enabled content and applications and language support may vary by region. Note : Use only Samsung-approved accessories. Using unapproved accessories may cause performance problems and malfunctions that are not covered by the warranty. Factory lens protectors are pre- installed on the Gear VR. Remove the lens protectors before you use the Gear VR so you can see clearly. When you are not wearing the Gear VR, do not place objects on the internal proximity sensor. Doing so may cause the proximity sensor to remain on and drain the connected mobile device’s battery.

• If you use a third-party controller, consult the manufacturer for health and safety warnings for the controller. Always use included wrist straps with controllers to secure the controller to your wrist when in use. • Do not modify or open any of the components provided. • Do not use the product if any cable is damaged or any wires are exposed. • If a power adapter is provided, do not expose it to liquid or moisture. Note : The Gear VR does not come with a power adapter and receives its power from the connected mobile device. • Unplug the mobile device power adapter before cleaning, and clean only with a dry cloth. • Keep the power adapter away from open ames and other heat sources. • Do not use your device if any part is broken or damaged. 26
• Do not attempt to repair any part of your device yourself. Repairs should only be made by an authorized servicer. • To avoid transferring contagious conditions (like pink eye), do not share the Gear VR with persons with contagious conditions, infections or diseases, particularly of the eyes, skin or scalp. The Gear VR should be cleaned between each use with skin-friendly antibacterial wipes (particularly the lenses) and dried with a microber cloth. • Do not leave the Gear VR in direct sunlight. Exposure to direct sunlight can damage the Gear VR. • Do not shine a laser or external light source through the lenses as it may damage the screen. • Store components in their storage case when not in use to minimize unintentional damage or environmental exposure.

Caution : Use only charging devices and batteries approved by Samsung. Samsung accessories are designed for your device to maximize battery life. Using other accessories may invalidate your warranty and may cause damage. Take care not to stand up or move around while the Gear VR is “plugged in”, as this may cause injury to the user or damage the device. 28
