Health and safety warnings
To reduce the risk of personal injury, discomfort, or property damage,
please ensure that all users of the headset carefully read the
warnings below before using the headset.
Before using the headset
A comfortable mixed or virtual reality experience requires an
unimpaired sense of motion and balance. Do not use the headset if
you are sick, tired, sleepy, under the influence of alcohol or drugs,
hungover, experiencing digestive problems, under emotional stress
or anxiety, suffering from cold, flu, migraines, or headaches, or are
not generally feeling well, as it may worsen your condition. Consult
a doctor before using the headset if you have any conditions that
impair your vision or mobility, are pregnant or elderly, have a heart or
other serious medical condition, or suffer from seizures, migraines,
or psychiatric conditions.
Safe environment
Varjo headsets produce an immersive mixed or virtual reality
experience that may distract you and make it hard to see your actual
surroundings.
y
Remember that any virtual objects that you see do not exist in the
real environment, and their size and location are not real. Do not
attempt to sit or stand on virtual objects or use them for support.
Be aware of any real-world objects that might be located behind
virtual objects.
y
Never use the headset in situations that require attention, such as
while walking, bicycling, or driving. Do not use the headset while in
a moving vehicle.
y
Remember that while you are using the headset, you may be
unaware of people entering the area.
y
Before using the headset, clear the area of obstacles and hazards,
people, furniture, and any other items that may prevent you from
moving freely. Also, check that you have enough space above
and around you so that you can extend your arms while using the
headset.
y
Do not use the headset near walls, stairs, balconies, windows,
open doorways, low ceilings, ceiling fans, light fixtures, breakable
items, open flames, heat sources, or any other items that you can
collide with or knock down.
y
Keep in mind the location of the cables and power cords so that
you do not walk on, trip over, or pull on them while using the
headset. Do not jerk, knot, or bend the cables or cords.
y
Do not handle sharp or otherwise dangerous objects while using
the headset.
Discomfort
When using the headset, some people may experience dry eyes,
eye strain, eye or muscle twitching, involuntary movements, altered,
blurred or double vision, or other visual abnormalities, dizziness,
light headedness, disorientation, discomfort or pain in the head or
eyes, headaches, impaired balance, impaired hand-eye coordination,
excessive sweating, increased salivation, nausea, fatigue, loss of
awareness, or seizures and other symptoms of motion sickness.
When you start to use the headset, keep your first sessions short
and take regular breaks. If you feel discomfort, stop using the
headset and continue only after the symptoms have ended. Do not
drive, operate machinery, or engage in other visually or physically
demanding activities until you have fully recovered from any
symptoms. Consider consulting a doctor if you are not able to see
virtual objects clearly and comfortably.
Overuse
Take regular breaks when using the headset. Prolonged use may
impact your hand-eye coordination or balance and may cause other
negative effects.
Repetitive stress injuries
Use the headset in a comfortable position. Do not use excessive
force when gripping the headset or pressing the headset buttons. If
you experience tingling, numbness, burning, stiffness, throbbing, or
other discomfort, stop using the headset and rest until you have fully
recovered from any symptoms. If you continue to experience these
symptoms, consult a doctor.
Interference with medical devices
The headset may emit radio waves, which can affect the operation
of nearby electronics, including cardiac pacemakers, hearing aids,
and defibrillators. If you use a pacemaker or other implanted medical
device, do not use the headset without first consulting a doctor or
the manufacturer of your medical device. Maintain a safe distance
between the headset and your medical devices and stop using the
headset if you observe any interference with your medical device.
Hearing loss
Excessive exposure to loud sounds can cause hearing damage. When
using headphones with the headset, start with the volume at a low
level and increase the volume slowly if needed. Do not turn up the
volume too high.
Seizures
Some people may experience severe dizziness, fainting, epileptic
seizures, or blackouts triggered by light flashes, patterns, or exposure
to infrared light sources of an eye tracker even though they have no
history of these conditions. If you experience any of these symptoms,
stop using the headset and consult a doctor. If you have a previous
history with these symptoms, consult a doctor before using the
headset. To reduce the likelihood of a seizure, do not use the headset
if you are tired.

chemicals, UV light, other harmful lights, particles, projectiles, or
other physical hazards.
