Re-centering the Screen

If the screen appears off-center or misaligned, press and hold the HOME button on either controller for 1 second. This will re-center the display and restore the virtual environment to its default orientation.

Sleep and Wake Modes

  • Sleep Mode: If the headset detects inactivity for a while, it will automatically enter sleep mode to save battery. The headset can also be manually put into sleep mode by pressing and holding the POWER button for 5 seconds.

  • Resetting the Headset: If your headset becomes unresponsive or experiences issues, you can perform a hardware reset by holding down the POWER button and VOL+ button simultaneously for about 10 seconds. This will force the device to restart.
  • Resetting the Controllers: If a controller is not responding, reset it by removing and reinserting the batteries, or press and hold the HOME and TRIGGER buttons to initiate a re-pairing process.

Other Adjustments

  • Volume Adjustment: Use the volume buttons on the side of the headset to increase or decrease the sound. This is essential for customizing the experience to your preference.
  • Display Settings: In the settings menu, you can adjust display settings like brightness, color saturation, and enable Eye Protection Mode to reduce blue light exposure.
  • Controller Settings: You can customize controller button mappings in the settings for specific applications if needed.

Important Reminders

  • Do Not Overcharge: Avoid leaving the headset plugged in for extended periods once fully charged to preserve battery life.
  • Storage: Store the headset and controllers in a safe, cool, and dry place. Avoid exposing them to direct sunlight, moisture, or extreme temperatures.
  • Eye Protection: If you experience eye strain or discomfort, adjust the headset or take regular breaks. The Eye Protection Mode feature can help reduce blue light exposure.
  • User Awareness: Always be conscious of your physical surroundings during use. The guardian system helps, but you should still be aware of your space and avoid colliding with walls or objects.

Important Safety and Usage Tips

  • Clear Your Play Area: Always ensure a safe play area free of obstacles, sharp objects, or tripping hazards. Ensure there's sufficient space around you to move freely and avoid colliding with furniture, walls, or other objects.
  • Take Regular Breaks: Prolonged use can lead to eye strain, dizziness, or discomfort. It is recommended to take a break every 30 minutes to relax your eyes and reduce any physical strain.
  • Monitor Children's Use: Ensure children use the device under supervision. The headset and controllers are not recommended for use by children under 12 years old.
  • Avoid Direct Sunlight: Never expose your headset to direct sunlight for extended periods, as this can damage the lenses and display.
