Getting Started

Getting Started (haptic device):

1. After unboxing, the first thing you will need to do is charge your device. It arrives on low charge and takes about 7-8 hours to charge to full. You will know it is charging by the blinking yellow/orange LED when plugged in. To charge it, use the provided cable on a PC USB port, or 500mA USB charger. Again, if you do not see a blinking yellow/orange LED when plugged in, it is not charging and you will need to try a different power source. Quest headset power adapters will not charge your haptic device, for example.

2. Once fully charged (LED behavior varies, it will either show a white LED, or when unplugging from power and turning on the device will show a white LED) you may now pair to your respective VR setup. For PC you are pairing your device to PC, and for Standalone you are pairing your device directly to your headset. If you are using a Standalone HMD on PC, you will pair to PC.
 

 

Getting StartedStarter (gunProVolver stock; no ProStraps)cup):

1. (note: more detailed assembly instructions available in the Tutorials Chapter) After setting your ForceTubeProvolver to charge, the next thing you need to do is get the magProVolver cupscup. (AKA controller mounts). TheyIt will be in theirits own bubble wrap bag,bag. orFor alreadymost onHMD the MagTube. If they are already on the ForceTube gun stock, you can grabbrands, a cup firmly, and remove by using a doorknob twist motion.

2. On each cupProStrap will be writingincluded.

Underneath, where you seeto the magnet,ProVolver youhaptic mightmodule. also see some more writing indicating which brandOn the cups are for (i.e. Quest 2). Insidetop of the cupsProStrap shouldwill be ana innerfilament layer.insert This allows for maximum frictionintended to keepgo inside the cup. Inside the cup near the top will be a small hole. A bump in the insert goes into that hole. The ProStrap is then held in place by the controller inonce place.inserted Please note: if you ordered ProStraps, they might already be pre-installed oninto the cups.cup.

3. Before putting your controllers into the cups,cup, it is suggested to wipe down the part of the controllerscontroller that will go inside. This is to ensure optimal friction so they do not slide out easily. Next, observe the small hole in the bottom of the cup. This is intended for feeding the wrist strap through, and should be facing you, or away from the trigger button on the controller. The magnet on the bottom of the left cup should be angled towards the right, and the magnet on the bottom of the right cup angled towards the left.

4. To install, simply start with the wrist strap and feed it through the small hole. Then push the controller into the cup until it cannot go any further. Use of excessive force is not required as it should easily go in until it hits friction, and then with a little bit of force you should be able to continue pushing in until it won't go any further. That is the point at which you should stop and it is considered installed in the cup. Refer to pics on the product page for how your controller should look. Please note: if you are using Index we have videos in Website tutorials under Cup.

Getting Started (gun stock; with ProStraps):

Follow steps 1-3 from above. Before putting controllers intoWith the cupsProStrap (if applicable) and controller correctly installed in the ProVolver cup you may now attach to the ProVolver. On one side of the ProVolver you will notice a rail mount system, like the one commonly found on rifle barrels. To attach the cup, you will need to installextend the ProStrapsclamps asand shownloosen inthe ourbolts tutorials.to Dependingprovide enough space to fit on the rail mount. We provide a small allen key for these bolts. Once loose enough, put one side on first, then you can move the other onto place. Make sure there is enough space so the top of your controller brand,does not touch the top of the haptic module. When successful, retract the clamps and use the allen key to lock the bolts tight. Make sure there is no movement between the cup and the statehaptic module, and you are ready for use.

If you ordered the shoulder stock extension, wrist support, or the front extension, now is a good time to install those following our tutorials in which they were received (pre-installed vs separately) what you do may vary. But essentially, you need the bottomTutorial to be on the cup, and the top to either be connected to an insert you put inside your controller's battery cover, or inside the cup itself. Make sure to follow the tutorial for your controller brand.

Once the ProStraps are correctly installed, you follow step 4 above.Chapter.
