car, bus, or train, as this can increase your susceptibility
to adverse symptoms.
[Warning] Children
• This product should not be used by children under the
age of 13, as the headset is not sized for children and
improper sizing can lead to discomfort or health effects
and younger children are in a critical period in visual
development. Adults should make sure children (age 13
and older) use the headset in accordance with these
health and safety warnings and instructions. Adults
should monitor children (age 13 and older) who are using
or have used the headset for any of the symptoms in
these instructions. And should limit the time children
spend using the headset 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 headset for any
decrease in these abilities.

children or allow them to use or play with it. They can hurt
themselves or others, or damage the product.

that may cause an injury or which could become
detached and create a choking hazard for young children.
Consult your doctor immediately if any parts of the
product or accessories are swallowed.
[Warning] Seizures:
Some people (about 1/4000) may have severe dizziness,
seizures, eye or muscles twitching 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 experiences any of these symptoms should
discontinue use of the headset and see a doctor. Anyone who
previously has had a seizure, loss of awareness, or other
symptom linked to an epileptic condition should see a doctor
before using the headset.
To reduce the likelihood of a seizure, do not use the product if
you are tired or need sleep.
[Use only in a safe environment]
While wearing the product's headset you are blind to the world
around you. The image displayed in the headset will not match
the real world. Always use the product in a clear and safe area.
Do not rely on the product's chaperone system for protection.
Do not use near stairways, large windows, heat sources, or
outdoors. Clear the play area of people, furniture, and other
things that may be obstacles or block you from freely moving
around. For example, if a pet comes into the room while you are
using the product, you likely will not be aware of the pet's
presence and you could trip over your pet while moving in the
virtual reality environment.
• Be Aware of the Cable and Connections
Keep in mind the location of the cable and connections
running from the headset so that you are not likely to trip
over or pull on them while moving around or walking
around the play area. Move your feet slowly and carefully
to avoid tripping, including on the cable. Make sure to
maintain good footing. Tripping over the cable or
contacting obstacles could cause injury or damage.

have sufficient overhead and surrounding clearance to
allow you to fully extend your arms outward and upwards.

warn of hazards that may arise while the product is being
used. Examples of hazards that could arise include, but
are not limited to, tangling of a cable in a manner that
presents a tripping hazard, pets entering the area where
the product is being used, and the user walking too close
to a wall or another hazard).
Use Only In A Safe Environment

that distracts you from and completely blocks your view of your
actual surroundings.

beginning use and while using the headset. Use
caution to avoid injury.
• Use of the headset may cause loss of balance.
• Remember that the objects you see in the virtual
environment do not exist in the real environment, so don’t
sit or stand on them or use them for support.
