It’s important to adjust your straps and headset carefully while using Oculus Quest. Keep in mind your limited warranty doesn’t cover normal wear and tear or physical damages.

While adjusting your Oculus Quest straps:

• Do not pull on straps excessively or with too much force.
• Tighten straps one at a time.

If you run into any issues with charging your Oculus Quest, try the following steps:

• When charging, ensure your charging cable is connected to your headset properly. If you're not sure, unplug your charging cable from the headset and power brick, then plug it back in.
• Make sure the LED light on the side of your headset is lit while charging. If the LED light is not lit Orange or Green, your headset is not being properly charged.
• When your headset isn't charging and isn't in use, make sure that it is turned off or in sleep mode.

If you receive an error while trying to connect to Wi-Fi, you may need to connect your Oculus Quest to another Wi-Fi network. Some possible causes for Wi-Fi issues with Quest include:

• Captive Portals: A captive portal is a web page that prompts you to interact with it before connecting you to the internet. These are commonly used by public Wi-Fi networks in businesses, airports, hotels, and other venues that offer free Wi-Fi hotspots. This type of network will not work to setup your Oculus Quest, but may work after your initial setup. Networks that use captive portals will not work with your Oculus Quest initial setup.
• Weak signal: If your Wi-Fi network signal is weak, your Quest may not see it. Try moving closer to the router, or switching to another Wi-Fi network that has a stronger signal.
• Incorrect password: Make sure that you have entered your Wi-Fi password correctly. Try disconnecting from the network, reconnecting, and reentering your Wi-Fi password.

1. Turn on your Oculus Quest and open the Oculus app on your phone.
2. Tap Settings from the bottom menu.

Your Oculus Quest or Rift S may have forgotten your previous Guardian if:

• The physical space has changed significantly since the time you set up Guardian. It can look like a new space to our system and will prompt you to set up Guardian again. Examples include:
• You moved furniture and/or changed the wall decor.
• You have lots of people moving around in your play area.
• The lighting has changed significantly since the time you set up Guardian. It can look like a new space to our system and will prompt you to set up Guardian again. Examples include:
• You have prominent windows near the play area and external lighting has changed significantly. Daytime lighting versus nighttime lighting is a common difference that can affect the system's ability to recall the Guardian boundary.
• The direction of indoor lighting has changed significantly, e.g., light source has moved from one side of room to other.

To help your Quest or Rift S remember your Guardian in the future, try these tips:

• Stand as close as possible to the center of the intended play area when drawing your Guardian boundary.
• Look around the room when drawing your boundary. Only looking in one direction while drawing your boundary reduces the likelihood of matching your Guardian in the future.
• Ensure that you have appropriate lighting but avoid direct sunlight in your play area. If you can read a book in your play area, that's sufficient.
• Always make sure the area within the Guardian system boundary is clear of hazards and obstacles.
