Use and handling
• Before connecting, check that the connectors are free of
dust and small particles.
• Do not swing the VR headset or the AC adaptor around by
their cables.
• Do not remove the VR headset or unplug the VR headset
connection cable until the tracking lights on the headset are
turned off. Removing or unplugging while the lights are on
may cause a malfunction.
• Do not place objects on the product, throw or drop the
product, or otherwise expose it to strong physical impact.
• Do not block the processor unit's vents, and do not use the
product in a closed cabinet or other locations where heat
may build up.
• Do not touch the AC adaptor, AC power cord or processor
unit during an electrical storm.
• Do not allow liquid or small particles to get into the product
(ports, vents, etc.). If this happens, stop use and disconnect
it from the electrical outlet immediately.
• Do not expose the product to dust, smoke or steam. Dust or
other matter can cause fire or electric shock.
• Do not expose the product to high temperatures, high
humidity, or direct sunlight.
• Do not place this product on an unstable surface or leave it
on the floor.
• Avoid prolonged bodily contact with the processor unit, AC
adaptor, or air from the vents when the product is turned
on. Extended contact may cause low-temperature burns*.
* Low-temperature burns are burns that occur when the skin is
in contact with objects of relatively low temperatures (40 °C or
more/104°F or more) for an extended period of time.
• Permanent hearing loss may occur if your stereo headset or
headphones are used at high volume. Set the volume to a
safe level. Over time, increasingly loud audio may start to
sound normal but can actually be damaging your hearing.
If you experience ringing or any discomfort in your ears or
muffled speech, stop listening and have your hearing
checked. The louder the volume, the sooner your hearing
could be affected. To protect your hearing:
– Limit the amount of time you use the stereo headset or
headphones at high volume.
– Avoid raising the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
– Lower the volume if you can't hear people speaking near
you.
• Do not use the VR headset, stereo headphones, or stereo
headset if they cause discomfort to your skin. If the headset
or headphones cause discomfort to your skin, discontinue
use immediately. If symptoms do not subside even after
discontinuing use, seek medical attention.
• If you experience discomfort or pain in a part of the body,
such as head, eyes, ears, hands, arms, or legs, discontinue
use of the system immediately. If symptoms persist, consult
your doctor.
