Health and safety warnings
General Precautions
To reduce the risk of injury or discomfort you should always follow these instructions and observe these precautions while using the Gear VR.
•Use Only In A Safe Environment: The Gear VR produces an immersive virtual reality experience that distracts you from and completely blocks your view of your actual surroundings.
−−Always be aware of your surroundings before beginning use and while using the Gear VR. Use caution to avoid injury.
−−Use of the Gear VR may cause loss of balance.
−−Remember that the objects you see in the virtual environment do not exist in the real environment, so don’t sit or stand on them or use them for support.
−−For the safest experience, remain seated or stationary when using the Gear VR.
−−Serious injuries can occur from tripping, running into or striking walls, furniture or other objects, so clear an area for safe use before using the Gear VR.
