Getting started with the HTC Vive Focus 3

Make sure the device and controllers are charged. The LEDs should turn white when the power button is pressed for 1 second. Press the Power Button for approximately 3 seconds and put on the headset. The device can be set up with two methods.

1. Using the VIVE manager app, which can be downloaded on your phone for both Android and iOS.
2. Using the VIVE headset button. This guide will use the headset button.

After holding the headset button for several seconds, the instructions of the headset will start automatically.

1. Select language, set volume and adjust the IPD (interpupillary distance).
2. Link the controllers. The right controller is linked by pressing the Vive button and the B button simultaneously. The left controller is linked by pressing the Menu button and the Y button simultaneously.
3. Connect to a Wi-Fi network.
4. Set the headset boundaries. Roomscale designates an area that the user can safely move in. Stationary creates a constant circle around the headset which keeps it centered, and is NOT intended for movement.
5. Walk through the controller instructions.
6. Pull up the quick menu by pressing the Vive button on your controller and select Home. You should now be in the main menu.

You’ve followed all the steps and you can now use the HTC Vive Focus 3. – Enjoy the ride!

How to activate your Business Warranty Service?

Your VIVE Focus 3 comes with 2 years of Business Warranty Services, but it needs to be activated within 90 days of purchase otherwise the headset will have no business warranty.

• Activating your Business Warranty Service requires setting up a Device Management System to register the headset.
• Good to know: The first account to register or upgrade to an organization account will be considered the owner of that Device Management System, and no other invited accounts will have the same rights and powers. Only the owner of a system has the ability to make purchases.
• Go to https://business.vive.com/dm/register/ and register your account
• After registration go to https://business.vive.com/eu/solutions/dms/ and log in with your HTC account.
• Activate your Business Warranty Service by registering your device.

The VIVE Business Device Management System has a number of other uses for organisations using multiple devices. More information can be found here: https://business.vive.com/ca/support/dms/
