WARNING! Photosensitive Seizures

A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when
exposed to certain visual images, including flashing 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

WARNING! Musculoskeletal disorders

Use of game controllers, keyboards, mice, or other electronic input
devices may be linked to serious injuries or disorders. When playing
video games, as with many activities, you may experience occasional
discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your
body. However, if you experience symptoms such as persistent or recur­ring discomfort, pain, throbbing, aching, tingling, numbness, burning sen­sation, or stiffness, DO NOT IGNORE THESE WARNING SIGNS.
PROMPTLY SEE A QUALIFIED HEALTH PROFESSIONAL, even if
symptoms occur when you are not playing a video game. Symptoms such
as these can be associated with painful and sometimes permanently
disabling injuries or disorders of the nerves, muscles, tendons, blood
vessels, and other parts of the body. These musculoskeletal disorders
(MSDs) include carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, tenosynovitis, vibra-

experience these seizures.

The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by
taking the following precautions:

- Sit farther from the TV screen.

- Use a smaller TV screen.

- Play in a well-lit room.

- Do not play when you are drowsy or fatigued.

If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures orepilepsy,
consult a doctor before playing.

tion syndromes, and other conditions.
While researchers are not yet able to answer many questions about
MSDs, there is general agreement that many factors may be linked to
their occurrence, including medical and physical conditions, stress and
how one copes with it, overall health, and how a person positions and
uses their body during work and other activities (including playing a video
game). Some studies suggest that the amount of time a person performs
an activity may also be a factor. If you have questions about how your own
lifestyle, activities, or medical or physical condition may be related to
MSDs, see a qualified health professional.

WARNING! Electrical Safety

As with many other electrical devices, failure to take the following pre­cautions can result in serious injury or death from electric shock, fire or

racing wheel or that you received from an authorized repair center.

inverters, even if the voltage and frequency appear acceptable. Only
use AC power provided by a standard wall outlet.

To avoid damaging the AC power cord:

- Protect the cord from being pinched or sharply bent, particularly
where it connects to the power outlet and the racing wheel.

plug - do not pull on the cord.

- If the power cord becomes damaged in any way, stop using it im
