Getting started
Pairing the controllers
When using VIVE Manager to set up your headset and controllers, the app will prompt you to turn
on the controllers. Your headset can automatically detect and pair with the controllers that came
in the box. For details, see
If your headset did not automatically detect the controllers during setup or you need to change
controllers, you can pair them manually. Here's how:
To change to a different set of controllers, go to Settings, select Inputs Controllers, and

If your headset has previously paired with controllers, you'll need to use the headset button or
the VIVE Manager mobile app to forget the controllers before you can pair them again.
Setting up your play area
The play area is a space in your environment that you designate for VR use. A safety boundary
appears when you're close to the edges of your play area.
When you set up a Room-scale play area, you'll need a space measuring 1.5 × 1.5 m that's free
from obstacles such as objects, pets, and people. If you don't have that much space, you can also
set up a Stationary play area so you can interact in VR while sitting or standing.
During setup, you'll be guided with instructions on how to use hand gestures or controllers to set
up your play area.
