How to properly wear your Samsung Galaxy XR headset

Before wearing your Galaxy XR headset, make sure all components are ready and set up for use. This will help you achieve the best fit and comfortable experience. Below is a checklist of the items included in the original packaging:

• Galaxy XR headset: The main device for your immersive experience. 
• Protective cover: Keeps your headset safe when not in use.
• Light shields (L, R): Block external light for better immersion.
• Cushion size adjusters: Customize the fit for optimal comfort.
• Forehead cushion: Enhances comfort during extended use.
• Power cord: Connects the headset to the battery pack for power supply.
• Battery pack: Powers your headset during use.
• Wall charger (USB-C to USB-C Cable): Provides power to the battery pack.  
• Lens cleaning cloth: Keeps your lenses clear and smudge-free.

Verify that all components are present and in good condition before use. If any items are missing or damaged, contact Samsung support for assistance.

If you wear prescription glasses or hard contact lenses, you can enhance your experience with prescription inserts available through Samsung partner Eyebuydirect.

To install optical lenses in your Galaxy XR headset:

1. Make sure the headset is powered off and the power cable is disconnected.
2. Reattach the protective cover to the visor, making sure it's clean and secure.
3. Remove the light shields below the lenses and clean the lens area using the provided cloth.
4. Match the engraved markers (L/R) on the optical lenses with the corresponding markers on the headset. Align and gently insert them into the circular slots.

Once you've inserted the lenses and put on the headset, a pop-up will appear guiding you through the setup process for the optical inserts. Scan the QR code provided with the inserts to complete the setup. If you prefer, you can manually register the lenses by navigating to Settings > Inputs > Eye calibration > Optical inserts.

Enjoy a clearer, more immersive experience with your Galaxy XR!

Before diving into your immersive experience, ensure the battery pack is fully charged. Follow these steps to supply power to and maintain your headset for seamless usage.

1. Connect the battery pack: Insert the power cable firmly into the USB Type-C port located in the front center of the battery pack.
2. Connect the headset: Align the other end of the cable with the power connector on the headset, then gently slide it downward until it clicks into place.
   Note: If the battery status indicator blinks, disconnect the power cable and try again after a short while. 

When the battery pack is running low, connect it to the wall charger using the USB-C cable. The headset will remain operational while charging. Once the battery pack is fully charged, disconnect it from the charger and unplug the charger from the wall outlet.

Here are some essential tips to help you maximize your headset's battery life and ensure safe charging:

• Use compatible accessories: Always use chargers, power cords, and cables specifically designed for your headset to ensure optimal performance and safety. 
• Avoid metal and magnetic materials: Keep your headset away from metal objects like coins and magnetic materials such as credit cards to prevent reduced charging efficiency or potential damage.
• Handle cords with care: Avoid bending or damaging the power cord, as this can lead to safety hazards or charging issues.
• Inspect before use: Never use damaged power cords, plugs, or loose electrical sockets. Always check for any signs of wear or damage before plugging in.
• Disconnect properly: When disconnecting the power cord, gently unplug it instead of pulling it excessively to avoid damage.
• Keep dry: Avoid touching the headset, power cords, plugs, or sockets with wet hands or in damp environments to prevent electrical hazards.

Proper placement of the headset is crucial for both comfort and performance. Follow these steps to ensure a perfect fit and an immersive experience.

1. Ensure the power cable is firmly connected to both the battery pack and the power connector port on the headset.
   • Keep the battery pack close to you for convenience and to avoid cable strain during use.
2. Gently remove the protective cover from the headset.
3. Rotate the rear band dial counter-clockwise to extend the side bands.
4. Place the headset on your forehead. Make sure it does not rest on your nose or cheekbones.
   • The proximity sensor will turn on the display.
   • If the screen does not turn on, press and hold the Top button to power on the headset.
5. Adjust the headset so the center of the screen is visible.
   • Keep the sides tilted about 5 degrees relative to the ground. 
   • Do not tilt too far downward, as the display may become distorted.
6. Rotate the rear band dial clockwise to tighten the headset to your head. Make sure it does not slip or feel too tight.
7. If the display-to-eye distance is not optimal, the display alignment function may start automatically. Follow on-screen instructions.
8. The headset monitors your position and angle for a certain period after the device is worn, and the display is on. If worn incorrectly, a guidance message will appear on the screen:
   • If the screen is too close to or far from your eyes, use the forehead cushion adjuster.
     • Eyes too far from displays - Remove the size adjuster under the forehead cushion or switch to a slimmer one.
     • Eyes too close to displays - To reduce the risk of eye injury, add a size adjuster under the forehead cushion or switch to a thicker one.
   • If the device prompts you to move it up, down, left, or right, adjust its position accordingly.
   • If the device prompts you to tilt it to the left or right, adjust its orientation accordingly.
   • When prompted, slightly loosen the dial, adjust the headset according to the guidance, then re-tighten.
9. When worn correctly, a “Great!” message will appear on the screen, indicating optimal positioning. Even if the message appears, adjust the headset to find the most optimal position if it feels uncomfortable.
   • If the device becomes loose or feels tight during extended use, adjust the dial again.
10. When you're done using the headset, carefully remove it and reattach the protective cover to the visor window.
11. Disconnect the battery pack. Do not pull the power cord excessively when disconnecting it.
    • On the headset side: Press the Release button on top of the cable, and then push the cable upward to disconnect.
    • On the battery pack side: Press the USB release button on the battery pack, and then gently pull the power cable out of the charging port.

Here are some additional tips for wearing your Galaxy XR headset to ensure optimal display performance:

• The light shields help create a more immersive environment by blocking unwanted external light. The light shields are pre-installed, so no additional installation is required. If you prefer to keep some external visibility, you can simply remove it. 
• The headset applies stricter alignment guidance during the first three wearing attempts to help you learn. After three times, the guidance becomes more flexible.
• The wearing guide may vary according to individual characteristics such as head shape and viewing angle. Therefore, after adjusting the fit as instructed, it is acceptable to make additional adjustments for the best comfort and visibility based on your preference. 
• To disable wearing guidance: go to Settings > Input, then turn off Fit tips.

Keep in mind that actual comfort and display visibility may vary depending on individual preferences and usage conditions.

Proper storage is essential to keep your headset in optimal condition and extend its lifespan. Follow these guidelines to ensure your device remains safe and functional.

• Keep It dry: Store your headset in a dry environment. If it gets wet, turn it off immediately and remove the power cable if possible. If you can't turn it off or remove the cable, leave it as is and dry it with a soft cloth.  
• Avoid heat sources: Do not place your headset on or near heat sources, such as inside a car during summer or in direct sunlight.
• Use hard, flat surfaces: Always place your headset on hard, flat surfaces to prevent falls or damage. 
• Stay away from metal objects: Avoid storing your headset with metal objects like coins, keys, or necklaces. 
• Protect from magnetic fields: Keep your headset away from magnetic fields. Magnetic objects like credit cards, phone cards, or access cards may be damaged if stored nearby.  
• Normal operating conditions: Use your headset within normal operating conditions between 32 to 86 degrees Fahrenheit. For storage, it can withstand ambient temperatures between -4 and 113 degrees Fahrenheit.
