Installing SteamVR Base Station 2.0
This hardware is included with the full kit, but not with the headset-only package. You can
purchase them separately if you don't have the full kit. To order, go to the Accessories section
on
www.vive.com/product/ . Product availability may vary; please contact customer care with
questions.
Before installing the base stations, decide first whether you want to set up a room-scale or
seated/standing-only play area. See
Planning your play area on page 69.
§
Make sure that the base stations are installed outside the play area and securely set up from
being accidentally struck, dropped, or bumped to avoid damage or compromised
performance.
§
Remember to peel off the protective film from the front panel after you've mounted the base
stations.
1. Mount the base stations diagonally at opposite corners of your space and near power
outlets.
For details on how to use the mounting kit, see Using the mounting kit to install SteamVR
Base Station 2.0 on page 51.
You can also use tripods, light stands, or cargo poles when mounting the base stations, or
even place it on stable book cases. Just avoid using unstable mounting solutions or
surfaces that are prone to vibration.
2. Adjust the base stations so that the front panels are facing toward the center of the play
area.
3. Attach the power cables to the base stations, and then plug each of the adapter into a
power outlet to turn them on.
Use only the power cables and adapters that came with your base stations.
