Health and Safety Information

Seizures

Some people (about 1 in 4000) 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 symptom linked to an epileptic condition
should consult with a doctor before using the Gear VR.

General Instructions and Precautions

Warning! You should always follow these instructions and observe these precautions while using the Gear VR
headset to reduced 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. Always be aware of your
surroundings when using the Gear VR and remain seated at all times. 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 headset. 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.
