WARNING

Before using this product, read this manual for important safety and health information. Keep all manuals for future reference. For replacement manuals, go to www.FANATEC.com/support.

1. General

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.

Theseseizuresmayhaveavarietyofsymptoms,including light-headedness, 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 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 or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing.

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, vibration 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.

Attention!

The device must not be exposed to rain or humidity in order to avoid risk of fire and the danger of electric shock.

Operating temperature: 0°C – 40°C.

The maximum operation time of the wheel with

continuous Force feedback activity is 1 hour. Let the wheel cool down for a few minutes before you continue.

Long playing may cause health risks. Take a break of 5 minutes every 20 minutes, and do not play for more than 2 hours per day.

We strongly advise you to not drive a vehicle immediately after using a video game.

Utilisation of the vibration and Force Feedback function may cause damage to your health.

In case of interferences with other wireless 2.4 GHz devices, the interfering devices must be removed or switched off.

Not intended for children under the age of 3 years.

Contains small pieces. Danger of swallowing!

Do not open the casing of the device.

The device only contains components that cannot be repaired by the user and opening will void the warranty.

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 or fire or damage to the racing wheel.

If you use AC power, select an appropriate power source:

Use only the power supply and AC power cord that came with your racing wheel or that you received from an authorized repair center.

Do not use non-standard power sources, such as generators or 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.

Do not jerk, knot, sharply bend, or otherwise abuse the power cord.

Do not expose the power cord to sources of heat.

When disconnecting the power cord or power supply, pull on the plug - do not pull on the cord.

If the power cord becomes damaged in any way, stop using it immediately and contact Fanatec Customer Support for a replacement.

Unplug your racing wheel’s power cord during storms or when unused for long periods of time.
