Please review the following material carefully. Failure to follow the instructions, or failure to 
heed the warnings contained herein could lead to serious injury.

All Components

Dismantling or opening the case will void warranty and may possibly cause electric shock. 
Avoid wet environments.

Head-mounted Display (HMD)

Some people may experience eye fatigue or discomfort after using the HMD for an extended 
period of time. If you experience eye fatigue, nausea, dizziness, light-headedness, 
disorientation, or any other symptom that could be attributed to the HMD, stop using it 
immediately for a short period of time. Refer to the instructions that accompany your HMD 
to ensure that the unit is properly fitted and is properly adjusted. If the symptoms persist 
after normal use is resumed, stop immediately and consult a physician before continuing.

Never use the HMD when operating a motor vehicle or any other device or machinery that 
requires the use of both eyes. If you need to move or walk while wearing the HMD, always turn 
the HMD display unit away from the eye so that you have an unobstructed view of your 
surroundings prior to moving or walking. Remember that the HMD is tethered via a power cable 
to the CPU. Do not use the HMD in environments where any part of the HMD might get 
entangled with other objects, moving equipment or machinery. Do not use the HMD in 
situations where any obstruction to your view might cause harm or damage to yourself or others.

Epilepsy and seizures are experienced by a very small portion of the population. These affected 
individuals have a condition which may cause them to experience epileptic seizures or have 
momentary loss of consciousness when viewing certain kinds of flashing lights or patterns that 
are commonly present in our daily environment. Individuals that have not had any previous 
seizures may nevertheless have an undetected epileptic condition.

Discontinue the use of the HMD immediately and consult your physician if you experience any 
of the following symptoms while wearing the HMD: eye or muscle twitching, involuntary body 
movements, disorientation, loss of awareness of your surroundings, mental confusion, 
dizziness, sickness, and/or convulsions.

Statement of Intended Use

The HMD should not be subjected to extreme environments and extra care should be taken in 
handling, packaging and shipping of the unit.

DO NOT use the HMD while operating any vehicle or other machinery. DO NOT use the HMD while 
maintaining or servicing equipment with moving parts which are exposed and present a hazard.
