Tips for setting up Base Station 1.0
You may set up the base stations in a way that's suitable for your place. For best results,
you may follow these recommendations:
Mount the base stations diagonally and above head height, ideally more than 2 m (6
§
ft 6 in).
§ Secure the base stations in a location where they can't be easily jostled or moved.
Each base station has a 120-degree field of view, so it's ideal to adjust its angle
§
between 30 and 45 degrees to fully cover your play area.
§ For optimal tracking, make sure that the maximum distance between the two base
stations is 5 m (16 ft 4 in).
§ Avoid setting up in an area with bright light, which may negatively affect the
performance of the base stations.
Using the mounting kit to install Base Station 1.0
For best results, install the base stations using a mounting kit. If you purchased the first-
generation VIVE, it has the mounting kit in the box. Otherwise, you can separately purchase a
similar mounting kit from a third-party supplier.
You will need a screwdriver or drill to install the mounts. Ask a professional for help when
using power tools.
1. Mark where you want to install each of the mounts on your wall, and then screw the
mounts in.
When mounting on concrete or drywall, first drill ¼ inch holes and insert anchors before
screwing mounts in.
2. Rotate the base station to screw it onto the threaded ball joint. Do not screw the base
station all the way in, only enough to be stable and oriented correctly.
