About Photosensitive Seizures
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images,
including ashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who have no history of
seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these “photosensitive epileptic
seizures” while watching video games.
These seizures may have a variety of symptoms including: lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face
twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness.
Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down
or striking nearby objects.
Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents should
watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms—children and teenagers are more likely than
adults to experience these seizures.
The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by sitting further from the television
screen, using a smaller television screen, playing in a well-lit room, and not playing when you are
drowsy or fatigued.
If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing.
Other Important Health and Safety Information
The Xbox video game system documentation contains important safety and health information that you
should read and understand before using this software.
Avoid Damage to Your Television
Do not use with certain televisions. Some televisions, especially front- or rear-projection types, can
be damaged if any video games, including Xbox games, are played on them. Static images presented
during the normal course of game play may “burn in” to the screen, causing a permanent shadow of the
static image to appear at all times, even when video games are not being played. Similar damage may
occur from static images created when placing a video game on hold or pause. Consult your television
owner’s manual to determine if video games can be safely played on your set. If you are unable to nd
this information in the owner’s manual, contact your television dealer or the manufacturer to determine
if video games can be played on your set.
Unauthorized copying, reverse engineering, transmission, public performance, rental, pay for play, or
circumvention of copy protection is strictly prohibited.
