Health and safety warnings

If a power adapter is provided:

•

Do not expose the power adapter to liquid or moisture.

•

Unplug the power adapter before cleaning, and clean only with

a dry cloth.

•

Keep the power adapter away from open flames and other heat

sources.

Use only charging devices and batteries approved by

Samsung. Samsung accessories are designed for your

device to maximize battery life. Using other accessories

may invalidate your warranty and may cause damage. Take

care not to stand up or move around while the Gear VR is

“plugged in”, as this may cause injury to the user or damage

the device.

The Gear VR does not come with a power adapter and

receives its power from the connected mobile device.
