Important Health & Safety Notes

• Please read the Safety and Warranty Guide before using the product.
• This product is designed and intended to be used in an open and safe indoor area, free of any tripping or slipping hazards. To avoid accidents, remain conscious to the potential confines of your physical area and respect the boundary of your virtual area whenever you see it. Be sure to wear the lanyards when using the Controllers. Make sure that there is enough space around your head and body (at least 2 meters by 2 meters) to stretch your arms to avoid damage or injury to yourself, others, and your surroundings.
• Children aged 12 or younger are not recommended to use this product. Keep the headset, controllers and accessories out of children's reach. To avoid accidents, users aged 13 and over should be supervised by an adult while using this product.
• This product does not support vision correction. If you need vision correction, keep your glasses on while using the product and take care not to scratch your glasses on the headset lenses. Take care to protect the optical lenses from scratches caused by sharp objects. Use a soft eyeglasses cloth to clean the lenses and avoid causing scratches that may affect the viewing experience.
• Extended periods of use may cause slight dizziness or eyestrain. Take a break after 30 minutes and do eye exercises or look into the distance to relieve eyestrain. Stop using the product immediately if you experience any discomfort. If the discomfort persists, consult a doctor.
• Exposing the headset to direct sunlight or ultraviolet light (in outdoor environments, cars, on balconies, or windowsills) may result in permanent yellow spots on the display. Damage of this nature is not covered by the product warranty.
• You can adjust the pupil distance in "System Settings". However, note that the headset may come into contact with your nose bridge if the pupil distance is set to the minimum value. With the headset on, you can go to "Settings" > "Display" to adjust the pupil distance manually. Note that improper pupil distance may result in double vision or eyestrain.
• This product comes with an "Eye Protection Mode", which passes the Low Blue Light certification by TÜV SÜD (Germany). It uses software algorithms to reduce the amount of blue light in the three-color channel and protect your eyes. Images will appear yellowish in this mode. You can go to "Settings" > "Display" > "Color" > "Eye Protection" to turn this feature on or off.

* Product and packaging are updated regularly, and the functions and contents of the standalone headset may be upgraded in the future.
