Maintenance of Base Plate
Once the materials of KAT Shoes and those of the base plate match, there will be a fixed friction coefficient, which is the
balance point of the best experience. Abrasion to the base plate will result in declined product experience and affect the
plate life. Please note the following three points prior to usage:
Do not make contact the base plate with non KAT Shoes or any other objects;
Make sure that the base plate is wiped clean ofany foreign matter before using the device every day.
If necessary, you may drop the complimentary maintenance oil specially for the device
(only one drop is needed as the materials are special);
Make sure that there is no foreign matter on the sole sliders and wheels of KAT Shoes every time before using
the device.
Daily Maintenance of Head-Mounted Display
The head-mounted display and handle sensors are highly sensitive, and thus, user experience will be severely affected
if they are damaged. Please note the following when using the display:
Please properly store the head-mounted device and keep the lens away from direct sunlight when it is not
being used. Otherwise, it might result in the damage of the display screen of the head-mounted device.
Please use the cleaning cloth provided in the packing box to clean the lens. Dip the cloth in alcohol or lens
detergent, and do the cleaning in circular motions from the center of the lens to the outer edge.
When cleaning the face pad, please take it off from the head-mounted device first. Dip a piece of soft cloth in
cold water and gently clean the areas that need cleaning. Please do not dip or soak the pad in water; dry it
under room temperature instead of rubbing, wringing or bleaching it; do not tumble dry, iron or expose it
under direct sunlight.
Instructions for regular examination of girdle
When a customer weighs beyond the limit (>100kg) or is with an overly sized waist, please duly check if the
girdle set has deformed. It is advised to conduct a regular examination on the girdle set every other week,
mainly checking if the bolt at the connection on the back of the girdle set has loosened, if the washer at the
bolt bottom has come off, and if the girdle set has deformed.
Any problem of the girdle set may cause safety issues. As it is a component that is prone to wear and tear, the
warranty period for it is three months from the issuance of the invoice. Please immediately contact the after
sales service by dialing the KAT hotline if any of the above situations occur.
Instructions for daily maintenance of three-in-one cable and sensors power supply
cable
It is necessary to carry out the daily maintenance of the three-in-one cable and the sensors power supply cable to
prevent them from being damaged due to entanglement. Check if the three-in-one cable and the sensors power supply
cable have any tangling every day by following the steps below:
Step one: entanglement of the three-in-one cable and the sensors power supply cable (tangling): based on
the tangling direction, rotate the connecting rod in a reverse direction until the three-in-one cable is separated
from the sensors power supply cable.
Step two: twisting of the three-in-one cable (twisting, and marked wrinkles can be seen on the outside): take

Currently the whole set of KAT WALK is equipped with HTC Vive BE commercial head-mounted display, which includes
a head-mounted display, two single hand held controllers and one locating system (Lighthouse) that can
simultaneously track display and controller in the space. The controller locating system (Lighthouse) confirms the
location of moving objects through laser and photosensitive sensor without having to depend on cameras. In other
words, HTC Vive allows users to walk within a certain range and is able to simultaneously scan and locate multiple
head-mounted displays and handles in its capture range, which is the biggest difference between it and the other two
head-mounted displays - Oculus Rift and PS VR. KAT WALK also supports such mainstream VR head-mounted displays
as Oculus Rift.

three cables sticking out of the girder head need to be inserted into their corresponding socket as per instructed in the

connects with the link box and with the KAT STATION and the power strip.
