Preparation

Headset Configuration

• Remove the rear-insert, it is designed only if headset is not tight enough
• Measure IPD (mine 4.6mm) and adjust as much as possible
• Adjust focal as near as possible to your face
• Darken brightness (30% for me)

In Headset Tips

• Stay hydrated
• Use eye drops
• Remember to blink
• Generally, focus forwards and turn head rather than using peripheral vision
• Stop before eye-headaches/light sensitivity
• When stoped, look at something in the distance
