Putting on the VIVE Pro Eye HMD

Before putting on the headset, make sure to remove the protective film or paper cover from
the lenses. Keep it in a safe place so you can protect your headset during storage or shipping.

Loosen the strap by rotating the adjustment dial counter-clockwise, and then detach the
velcro fastener on the top band.

Press the headset towards your eyes, and then slide the strap around the back of your
head.
