if you are pregnant, elderly, have psychiatric disorders, suffer from

disembark a cruise ship, symptoms of virtual reality exposure can 
persist and become more apparent hours after use.

Additional Noti�cations 
• The connected mobile device may become hotter than normal 
when used with the Gear VR, especially if you use the devices to 
play games for an extended period. When the Gear VR detects a 
high temperature, the quality of the application may be degraded 
or VR applications may be terminated in order to prevent 
overheating. This is normal and does not affect the mobile 
device’s lifespan or performance. 
• When using apps that require a higher...

   
  
   
 
 
  
   
   
   
• The mobile device’s battery runtime may become shorter than normal when it is used with the Gear VR since VR applications 
use more of the device’s resources and may contribute to battery 
drain. 
• You may experience slow loading speed or diminished playback 
quality in some circumstances, such as after extended use (to 
prevent the device from overheating) or if your carrier or Wi-Fi 
network is slow or out of range.

Caution
: 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.
