• 

Make sure the STRATOS Explore Development Kit (USX) is placed flat 
on a table, is in front of you and there is room to rest your elbow on 
the table during use. 

• 

The Ultrahaptics technology is designed for short bursts of feedback. 
Continuous feedback from the Ultrahaptics system, or any other 
vibratory feedback system, can lead to a temporary loss of sensitivity 
in the frequency range of the feedback. If this happens, take a 10 to 
15-minute break. Each person is different, so take longer breaks if 
you need to.

• 

The haptic feedback is created by a region of high-intensity 
ultrasound. Do not target the feedback directly onto your ears or 
eyes. We recommend that you do not place your head directly 
above the STRATOS Explore Development Kit (USX). We also 
recommend allowing for approximately 30cm between your head 
and the area of feedback generated by your hand. 

Stop using the STRATOS Explore Development Kit (USX) if you feel any 
of the following symptoms: dizziness; disorientation; impaired balance; 
nausea; light-headedness; headaches; involuntary muscle twitches; 
discomfort or pain in the hand, arm or head; drowsiness; fatigue or any 
symptoms similar to motion sickness. 

• 

Do not drive, operate machinery or engage in other demanding 
activities that have potentially serious consequences until you have 
fully recovered from any symptoms.

• 

Do not use the STRATOS Explore Development Kit (USX) until all 
symptoms have completely subsided for several hours.

• 

See a doctor if you have serious and/or persistent symptoms or any 
concerns.

Frequently repeating similar movements can make your hands, muscles, 
joints or other parts of your body hurt. If you experience discomfort, stop 
and rest for several hours before resuming use of the STRATOS Explore 
Development Kit (USX). If you continue to have any symptoms, please 
stop using the device and see a doctor. 

The STRATOS Explore Development Kit (USX) can emit radio waves 
that may affect the operation of nearby electronics, such as cardiac 
pacemakers, defibrillators and other medical devices. Operate the device 
at a safe distance from medical devices and if you have a pacemaker or 
other implanted medical device, do not use the Ultrahaptics STRATOS 
Explore Development Kit (USX) without first consulting your doctor or the
