How do you maintain your HTC VR headset?

With these 3 tips, you can make sure your VR headset stays as new.

• Tip 1. Store your HTC VR headset correctly
• Tip 2. Clean the face pad
• Tip 3. Clean the lenses

If you don't use your VR headset, you have to store it correctly and safely. Do you have a protective cover? Always use that to store your VR headset. If you don't have a protective cover, put the VR headset in a dark place out of sunlight. Sunlight can damage your lenses. Cover the lenses with foil or a cloth and don't put any sharp objects like cables close to the headset. This way, you reduce the risk of scratching the lenses.

Clean the face pad often. This way, you can use your VR headset for longer. Before you do so, remove the face pad from the headset.

• Use a clean smooth cloth with cold water.
• Gently wipe the face pad down with the cloth. This way, you prevent damage.
• After cleaning, let the pad dry. Don't put the pad in the sun, squeeze it out, or put it in the dryer.
• Don't soak the pad in water, because this can damage the pad.

Sometimes, there's some dust or a stain on the lenses. Clean this with the included cleaning cloth. You can clean the lenses outwards from the inside. Make circular motions across the lenses. Make sure you only touch the lenses with the cloth. This way, you make sure you don't scratch when you clean.
