Getting started
•
The Gear VR does not require charging as it is powered
using the mobile device's battery.
•
You can charge your mobile device by connecting a
charger to the Gear VR's multipurpose jack. Use only
Samsung-approved chargers. Unapproved chargers can
cause the mobile device's battery to explode or damage
your devices.
−
If you use a Micro USB charger, connect a Micro USB
connector before plugging the charger into the
Gear VR. The Micro USB connector is only for battery
charging.
