1 Safety Notices
High Voltage Warning: The Air Controller and Smart Compressor contain high voltage electronics. Do not disassem-
ble, expose to liquids, or use any power supply other than those provided with your HaptX Gloves Development Kit
2 (the “DK2” or ”Product”).
Pressurized Air Warning: The Air Controller and Smart Compressor contain pressurized air. Do not disassemble.
Use care when connecting and disconnecting Tether. If you choose to supply your own air to the Air Controller, the
pressure must not exceed 50 PSI and must meet the ISO 8573-1: 7:4:0 air quality specification for oil and dryness.
Heat Warning: To reduce the possibility of heat-related injuries or of overheating the Air Controller and Smart Com-
pressor, do not place the Air Controller and Smart Compressor directly on your lap or obstruct any air vents. Use
the Air Controller and Smart Compressor only on a hard, flat surface or with the included backpack accessory. Do
not allow another hard surface, or a soft surface, such as pillows or rugs or clothing, to block airflow. Also, do not allow the
AC adapter to contact the skin or a soft surface, such as pillows or rugs or clothing, during operation. The device and the AC
adapter comply with the user-accessible surface temperature limits defined by applicable safety standards.
Ensure You Are Able to Safely Use the Product: Consult with your doctor before using the Product if you have
pre-existing serious medical conditions (such as a heart ailment), conditions that affect your ability to safely perform
physical activities, psychiatric conditions (such as anxiety disorders or post-traumatic stress disorder), or if you are
pregnant or elderly. Do not use the Product if you are sick, fatigued, under the influence of intoxicants/drugs, or are not
feeling in general good health.
Ensure the Area Around You is Safe for Use of the Product: While wearing a VR headset you cannot see the world
around you. The image displayed in the headset will not match the real world. Always use the Product in a clear and
safe area. Do not use near stairways, large windows, heat sources, or outdoors. Clear the Product use area of people,
furniture, and other things that may be obstacles or block you from freely moving around.
It is recommended that the Product be used only while under the supervision of another person who is ready to warn of
hazards that may arise while the Product is being used. Examples of hazards that could arise include, but are not limited to,
the tangling of a cable in a manner that presents a tripping hazard, pets entering the area where the Product is being used,
and the user walking too close to a wall or other hazard.
Be Aware of the Tether and Connections: Keep in mind the location of the cables and connections running from
the Air Controller and headset so that you don’t trip over or pull on them while moving around the Product use area.
Move your feet slowly and carefully to avoid tripping. Be sure to maintain a solid footing. Tripping over the cable or
contacting obstacles could cause injury or damage.
Tether Useage: The tether is only for connecting the Smart Compressor and Air Controller. Do not use the tether with
any other source of compressed air. Do not permanently or temporarily affix the tether yo any part of your building
or route the tether through the wall, floor, or ceiling.
Radio Frequency Interference: The Product emits radio waves that can interfere with the operation of nearby elec-
tronic devices. If you have a cardiac pacemaker or other implanted medical device, do not use the Product until you
have consulted with your doctor or the manufacturer of your medical device. To minimize radio frequency interfer-
ence, use only original manufacturer-approved accessories, or accessories that do not contain any metal. Use of non-origi-
nal manufacturer-approved accessories may violate your local radio frequency exposure guidelines and should be avoided.
Always follow instructions in the User Manual. Improper use could result in serious injury or death.

4 Quick Start 4.1 Select Stationary or Room Scale Configuration and set up Vive The HaptX Gloves DK2 can be used in a stationary configuration for seated and standing-only VR ex- periences, or in a mobile configuration for room scale VR Experiences using the Backpack Accessory. Before you start, decide which configuration you would like to use. Please follow the Vive guidelines for setting up a room scale Product use area. If you are using the HaptX Gloves DK2 for standing-only use, we recommend using a table that is shorter than the user’s waist. The following figure shows the usable workspace in the stationary configuration. DK2 User Manual - © HaptX Inc. 2022 Page 7

on the ground at the edge of the room scale VR experience area or near the table used for the station-
ary configuration. The Air Controller regulates the pressurized air supplied to the HaptX Gloves DK2. To
prevent overheating, do not obstruct any of the vents or place in a confined space with limited air
circulation

8 Product Maintenance
To protect your health, you should clean the HaptX Gloves and your HMD before a new user dons them.
Follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for cleaning an HMD. To clean the HaptX Gloves:
1. Wipe down the exterior plastic surfaces with an ethyl alcohol-based wipe.
NOTE: Using isopropyl alcohol will cause discoloraton and cracking over time
2. Spray the exterior and interior with a fabric disinfectant, such as Oster Disinfectant Spray.
3. Only use the provided hygiene gloves once. These hygiene gloves shrink when washed, so if
you wash and reuse them, they will not fit larger hands properly.
The Smart Compressor and Air Controller require no regular maintenance.
Contact HaptX Support if either is not functioning as expected.
