Getting
Started
ATTENTION: Before you get started
Gear VR has adapters for using both USB-C
and Micro USB phones. Verify which
connector your phone uses. The USB-C
adapter comes pre-installed on your Gear
VR. If your phone is USB-C compatible,
proceed to the Gear VR Setup Prompt
section of this guide. If your phone is Micro
USB compatible, follow steps A1 - A2.
Locate the connection/adapter opposite of the
faceplate lock. On the top of it is a small slide
lock, (1) slide the lock right until you hear a
click, (2) now pull up and out to remove adapter
from the connector base.
(1) Slide the Micro USB adapter into the
connector base until firmly seated (2) slide left
on adapter lock until you here a click. Your Micro
USB adapter is now in place. Proceed to Gear VR
Setup Prompt.
ATTENTION: A software update is required for some users with a Galaxy S6 edge+ or Note5 device. If you plug in your device to Gear
VR and nothing happens, you need to update your device’s software. To download the update, you’ll need a SIM-activated device
with Wi-Fi enabled. Go to Settings->About Device->Software Update to check for updates.

Push the opposite side of your phone into the Gear VR cradle
until you hear the snap from the lock on the right.
