HEALTH AND SAFETY WARNINGS
Carefully read and follow the warnings and instructions below
before using PlayStation
®
VR. Failure to read and follow the
warnings and instructions could result in serious injury.
• PS VR is not for use by children under age 12.
• Wearing the VR headset will completely block your ability to see
your surroundings. PS VR does not detect obstacles. Review
surroundings and clear obstacles from an area larger than the
Play Area (
page 8) before use. Make sure you are not near
any walls, stairs, furniture, or other obstacles that you may
collide with or trip over.
• Remain in the center of the Play Area and do not walk
around while wearing the VR headset. Remain seated
whenever possible. If an application requires you to stand
while wearing the VR headset, follow the application
instructions carefully, and maintain awareness of your
surroundings.
• Take steps to prevent pets, persons, or other obstacles from
entering an area larger than the Play Area during use.
• Before use, check that the VR headset cable is not wrapped
around your body or legs, and check frequently during use.
• Avoid extreme or excessive movements of the head, hands,
or body while wearing the VR headset.
• Some people may experience motion sickness, nausea,
disorientation, blurred vision, or other discomfort or other
abnormalities. If experienced, stop using immediately, and
remove the VR headset. If you experience symptoms during
or after use, rest, and do not engage in any activities that
require unimpaired vision, balance or coordination until
after symptoms have completely disappeared.
• Avoid prolonged use of PS VR. Take frequent breaks.
• Do not use PS VR if you are tired, dizzy, light-headed,
nauseated, sick, under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or
have an impaired sense of motion or balance. Consult a
doctor before using PS VR if you are pregnant or suffer from
a serious medical condition.
• Keep the product out of the reach of small children. Small
children may swallow small parts, may pull on cables and
cause the processor unit or VR headset to fall, or may wrap
the cables around themselves, which may inflict injury or
cause an accident or a malfunction.
Photosensitivity/Epilepsy/Seizures
A very small percentage of individuals may experience
epileptic seizures or blackouts when exposed to certain light
patterns or flashing lights. Exposure to certain patterns or
backgrounds on a television screen or when playing video
games may trigger epileptic seizures or blackouts in these
individuals. These conditions may trigger previously
undetected epileptic symptoms or seizures in persons who
have no history of prior seizures or epilepsy. If you, or anyone
in your family, has an epileptic condition or has had seizures
of any kind, consult your doctor before playing.
IMMEDIATELY DISCONTINUE USE and consult your doctor
before resuming gameplay if you or your child experience any
of the following health problems or symptoms: Dizziness,
altered vision, eye or muscle twitches, loss of awareness,
disorientation, seizures, or any involuntary movement or
convulsion. RESUME GAMEPLAY ONLY ON APPROVAL OF
YOUR DOCTOR.
