Read me first

Please read this guide before using the Gear VR to ensure safe and proper use. The Gear VR is an Innovator Edition device intended specifically for developers and early adopters of technology. The Gear VR does not require charging.

• Descriptions in this guide are based on the mobile device’s default settings.
• The Gear VR must be connected to a compatible mobile device when in use. The Gear VR cannot be operated by itself. Compatible devices include:
  
  • Samsung Galaxy Note 5, Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+, Samsung Galaxy S6, or Samsung Galaxy S6 edge.

Important:
Use the Gear VR for its intended purpose only. Using the Gear VR for other purposes may result in injury. Some languages or content may not be available depending on the region or network.
To view the open-source license for the Gear VR, refer to opensource.samsung.com.

Wearing the Gear VR 

Warning!
Although eyeglasses can be worn inside Gear VR, they should be removed if the user experiences discomfort. If the discomfort continues and these glasses are not removed, this could cause facial injuries.

If you have poor eyesight, we recommended wearing contact lenses when using the Gear VR.

Note:
Keep the lenses clean and protect them from getting scratched. If the lenses get dirty or steam up, clean them with the lens cleaning cloth.

Caution:
The gear vr sm-r323 can be affected by magnetic interference created by items, such as computers, TVs, or electric cables. Avoid using the Gear VR in areas affected by magnetic interference.
Ensure that you have read the warnings below carefully before using the gear vr sm-r323 to reduce the risk of personal injury, discomfort, or property damage. These Health and Safety warnings are periodically updated for accuracy and completeness. Check both www.samsung.com and oculus.com/warnings for the latest updated content.

• The gear vr sm-r323 should not be used by children under the age of 13. Watching videos or playing games with the gear vr sm-r323 may affect the visual development of children.
• When children, age 13 or older, use the Gear VR, adults should limit their usage time and ensure they take frequent breaks. Adults should monitor children closely after using the gear vr sm-r323 if children feel discomfort.
• The factory lens protectors are pre-installed on the Gear VR.
• Remove these lens protectors before you use the gear vr sm-r323 so you can see clearly.
• Ensure the lenses are not scratched and keep them clean for clear visibility.
• The foam cushioning may get dirty if your face is sweating while wearing the Gear VR. Doing so may deteriorate the quality of the foam cushioning. Ensure that you keep your face clean and dry when wearing the Gear VR.
• When you remove the gear vr sm-r323 from your head, the mobile device’s screen locks and the touchpad stops working.
• 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 or stationary 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 sm-r323 in situations that require attention, such as walking, bicycling, or driving.
• When you are not wearing the Gear VR, do not place objects on the Gear VR’s proximity sensor. Doing so may cause the proximity sensor to stay on and drain the battery.
• Refer to your mobile device’s online support material for more information.

Before Using the Gear VR Headset

• Read and follow all setup and operating instructions provided with the Gear VR.
• The Gear VR should be adjusted for each individual user, and calibrated by using the configuration software (if available) before starting a virtual reality experience. Failure to follow this instruction may increase the risk of discomfort.
• 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 sm-r323 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.
• Just as with the symptoms people can experience after they disembark on a cruise ship, symptoms of virtual reality exposure can persist and become more apparent hours after use.
• 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.

About the Samsung Gear VR

The Samsung Gear VR powered by Oculus™ (also referred to as Gear VR) is a head-mounted, virtual reality device that provides an immersive experience for a wide range of users. When you connect a compatible mobile device to the Samsung Gear VR, you can enjoy multimedia content and play games by launching Samsung Gear VR app on the mobile device. You can use the gear vr sm-r323 with these compatible mobile devices and use it to interact with other external devices, such as a game controller or a Bluetooth headset.

Additional Notifications

• 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 sm-r323 detects a high temperature, the quality of the application may be degraded or the Samsung Gear VR app may be terminated in order to prevent overheating. This is normal and does not affect the mobile device’s lifespan or performance.
• The mobile device’s battery runtime may become shorter than normal when it is used with the Gear VR since the Samsung Gear VR app uses 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.

Note:
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.

Note:
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.

Device Functions

Note:
The connected Gear VR does not require charging because it obtains power from the connected mobile device.

• Replace the front cover when you finish using the Gear VR.
  Caution: 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.”
• You can connect the charger to the charging port on the Gear VR. Use only Samsung-approved USB cables and 2A power adapters.
  
  • If you use the Gear VR while the charger is connected, it is powered by the charger and does not use the mobile device’s battery. When you use content that has high power demand (more than 1.0A) while the charger is connected, the Gear VR uses two power sources. In high power demand situations, the Gear VR is powered by the charger and the mobile device’s battery at the same time.
  • If the Gear VR is disconnected from the charger while the Gear VR is in use, the image on the screen may be briefly inactive. During this period, the screen recalibrates and the Gear VR may not recognize your head movements.
  • If you do not use the Gear VR while the charger is connected, the mobile device’s battery charges.
