Precautions

Safety

Do not damage the AC power cord and AC adaptor.
For more information on product safety and support, visit our website ( "Further information").

Use and handling

Before connecting, check that the connectors are free of dust and small particles.
Do not swing the VR headset or the AC adaptor around by their cables.
Do not unplug the VR headset cable until the tracking lights ( "Part names") are turned off. Removing or unplugging while the lights are on may cause a malfunction.
Do not place objects on the product, throw or drop the product, or otherwise expose it to strong physical impact.
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.
Do not touch the AC power cord, AC adaptor or processor unit during an electrical storm.
Do not allow liquid or small particles to get into the product (ports, vents, etc.). If this happens, stop use and disconnect it from the electrical outlet immediately.
Do not expose the product to dust, smoke or steam. Dust or other matter can cause fire or electric shock.
Avoid prolonged bodily contact with the processor unit, AC adaptor, or air from the vents when the product is turned on. Extended contact may cause low-temperature burns*.
* Low-temperature burns are burns that occur when the skin is in contact with objects of relatively low temperatures (40°C or more) for an extended period of time.
Do not use the VR headset, stereo headphones, or stereo headset if they cause discomfort to your skin. If the headset or headphones cause discomfort to your skin, discontinue use immediately. If symptoms do not subside even after discontinuing use, seek medical attention.
The product and its parts are made from metal and plastic materials. When disposing of the product, follow local regulations for the proper disposal of such materials.
Follow the precautions below to help prevent the product exterior from deteriorating or discolouring.
- Do not use solvents or other chemicals on the product.
- Do not allow rubber or vinyl materials to be in prolonged contact with the product.
Permanent hearing loss may occur if the headset or headphones are used at high volume. Set the volume to a safe level. Over time, increasingly loud audio may start to sound normal but can actually be damaging your hearing. If you experience ringing or any discomfort in your ears or muffled speech, stop listening and have your hearing checked. The louder the volume, the sooner your hearing could be affected. To protect your hearing:
- Limit the amount of time you use the headset or headphones at high volume.
- Avoid raising the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
- Lower the volume if you can't hear people speaking near you.
When using the headset or headphones in particularly dry air conditions, you may sometimes experience a small and quick (static) shock on your ears. This is a result of static electricity accumulated in the body, and is not a malfunction of your headset or headphones.

Use by children

The VR headset is not for use by children under age 12.

Wearing the VR headset

It is important that you place the VR headset on your head properly during use.
- To see instructions on how to wear the headset, go to the PlayStation_®4 system's function screen, and then select (Settings) > [Devices] > [PlayStation VR].
- Do not overtighten the adjustment dial ( "Part names").
- You can wear the VR headset over your glasses but take care when adjusting the scope ( "Part names"). Having your glasses touch the lens could result in damage to your glasses, VR headset lens or both. Do not push in or pull out the scope excessively.
Regularly check the VR headset's to ensure it is being worn properly.

VR headset screen

Do not expose the lenses ( "Part names") of the VR headset to direct sunlight or intense light. Doing so may damage the VR headset screen and cause a malfunction.
Keep the VR headset's attachment sensor ( "Part names") free from any obstacles. If the attachment sensor is blocked, the screen will not turn off automatically even if you remove the headset. If an image appears on the screen for an extended period of time, it might cause a screen burn and a faint image might remain permanently on the screen.
Black (dark) pixels and continuously lit pixels may appear in certain locations on the screen. The appearance of such spots is a normal occurrence associated with screens and is not a sign of a system malfunction. Screens are made using highly precise technology.
However, a very small number of dark pixels or continuously lit pixels may exist and color irregularities or brightness irregularities may be visible on each screen.

Never disassemble or modify the product or accessories

shock hazard
Use the product and accessories according to the instructions in this manual. No authorization for the analysis or modification of the product, or the analysis and use of its circuit configurations, is provided. Disassembling will void the product warranty. Additionally, there is a risk of fire, electrical shock or malfunction if the product is disassembled or modified.

Moisture condensation

If PS VR is brought directly from a cold location to a warm one, moisture may condense inside the VR headset and the processor unit. Should this occur, the product may not operate properly. In this case, turn off the VR headset and unplug the AC power cord from the electrical outlet. Do not use the product until the moisture evaporates (this may take several hours). If the product still does not operate properly, visit our website ( "Further information").

Unusual or unresponsive behavior

Press the (power) button ( "Part names") on the VR headset for at least 7 seconds to force a shutdown, and then turn on the headset again. If the problem persists, restart the PS4™ system.

High temperature message

If the processor unit's internal temperature becomes elevated, a message will be displayed. In this case, turn off the PS4™ system and leave it unused for a while. After the processor unit cools down, move it to a location with good ventilation, and then resume use.
Do not use the product in a closed cabinet or other locations where heat may build up.

AC adaptor and AC power cord use

Use an electricity supply that is easily accessible, so the AC power cord can be unplugged quickly if the need arises. Stop use, unplug the AC power cord from the electricity supply and disconnect any other cables immediately if the product functions in an abnormal manner, produces unusual sounds or smells or becomes too hot to touch.
Unplug the AC power cord from the electricity supply when the status indicator on the processor unit is red. Unplugging the cord while the indicator is white or flashing red may cause a malfunction.
Do not use an AC adaptor or AC power cord other than those supplied with the product. The supplied AC adaptor and AC power cord are designed exclusively for use with this product. They cannot be used with other products. In addition, other AC adaptors or AC power cords cannot be used with this product. Failure to follow these precautions may cause the product to overheat and may lead to fire or electric shock.
- Do not plug the AC power cord for the product into an electricity supply until you have connected the HDMI™ cables.
- Do not touch the plug of the AC power cord with wet hands.
- Do not use the AC adaptor when it is covered by a cloth, as it may overheat, causing fire or malfunction.
- Unplug the AC power cord from the electricity supply before cleaning or when you do not intend to use the product for an extended period of time.
- Do not connect the AC power cord to a voltage transformer or inverter.

Storage conditions

Do not expose the product or accessories to high temperatures, high humidity or direct sunlight.
Do not place the product or accessories on surfaces that are unstable, tilted or subject to vibration.

Using the Device

Used with your PS4™ system and PlayStation_®Camera, PS VR brings you the excitement of virtual reality. You can interact with games more directly because the camera captures the position, angle, and movement of the VR headset.
Be sure to always update your PS4™ system software and PS VR device software to the most recent version.
Be sure to connect your VR headset to the supplied CUH-ZVR2 processor unit. The headset will not work if connected to a CUH-ZVR1 processor unit.

Your position while using the VR headset
