Device Functions

Replace the front cover when you finish using the Gear VR.

Caution: 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.”

You can connect the charger to the charging port on the Gear VR. Use only Samsung-approved USB cables and 2A power adapters.
If you use the Gear VR while the charger is connected, it is powered by the charger and does not use the mobile device’s battery. When you use content that has high power demand (more than 1.0A) while the charger is connected, the Gear VR uses two power sources. In high-power demand situations, the Gear VR is powered by the charger and the mobile device’s battery at the same time.
If the Gear VR is disconnected from the charger while the Gear VR is in use, the image on the screen may be briefly inactive. During this period, the screen recalibrates, and the Gear VR may not recognize your head movements.
If you do not use the Gear VR while the charger is connected, the mobile device’s battery charges.
