Follow the steps on your Oculus App to set up your headset. You will need to pair your device with your smartphone so make sure you have turned your headset on.

If the Oculus App does not automatically prompt you to pair, look in the headset for a 5 digit code.

Go to the Oculus App, select ‘Devices’, select ‘Pair New Headset’ and type in the 5 digit code you see in the headset.

Power

To turn your Oculus Quest headset on, press the power button on the side of the headset. The power indicator light above the power button should turn on. The power button and indicator are shown as per the image below.

Volume

The volume buttons can be found at the base of the headset, as shown per the image above.

Vision

To change the lens spacing on your Oculus Quest 2, gently adjust the lenses by shifting them together or apart. There are three lens spacing settings for Oculus Quest 2.

61 mm or smaller = 1 (narrowest, 58 mm)
61 mm to 66 mm = 2 (middle, 63 mm)
66 mm or larger = 3 (widest, 68 mm)

Headset Comfort

We recommend adjusting your Oculus Quest 2 for the best fit. Adjust the side straps first before moving on to the middle head strap. Adjust the headset to your personal specifications to improve clarity.

Confirm Floor Level

A virtual grid will appear around you. To confirm the floor level, reach down and touch the ground with one of your controllers. The grid should now be at floor level. If the grid appears to be at floor level, select ‘Confirm’ with your trigger button to advance.

If you are not happy with the floor level, select ‘Reset’ and try the process again.

We recommend setting a stationary boundary but if you would like to define your own boundary, Oculus recommends a space of 2 x 2 metres or greater for room scale experiences.

Define Boundary

To set a stationary boundary, a message will appear asking to ‘Define Play Area’, you will see a message displaying ‘Switch to Stationary Boundary’. Select this option by pressing your trigger button.

Another message will appear asking you to confirm your stationary boundary. If you are happy with your boundary, select ‘Confirm’ by pressing your trigger button.

You will now see a circle grid appear around you, your stationary boundary has been set.

Once you have set your guardian area, this will be locked and if you go near the edge of the boundary you will be alerted by a red grid wall. You can adjust your boundary at any time by heading to your Oculus settings.
