WARNING

Use of game controllers, keyboards, mice, or other elec-
tronic input devices may be linked to serious injuries or
disorders. When playing video games, as with many ac-
tivities, 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

above symptoms – children and teenagers are more likely
than adults to experience these seizures. The risk of pho-
tosensitive 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.

A very small percentage of people may experience a sei-
zure 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

of symptoms, including light-headedness, altered vision,
eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs,
disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of aware-
ness. 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

occur when you are not playing a video game. Symptoms
such as these can be associated with painful and some-
times permanently disabling injuries or disorders of the
nerves, muscles, tendons, blood vessels, and other parts
of the body. These musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) in-
clude carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, tenosynovitis,
vibration syndromes, and other conditions.

While researchers are not yet able to answer many ques-
tions about MSDs, there is general agreement that many
factors may be linked to their occurrence, including medi-
cal 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 condi-
tion may be related to MSDs, see a quali ed health pro-
fessional.

Attention!

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

- Operating temperature: 0°C – 40°C.

- The maximum operation time of the wheel with con-
tinuous 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 immedi-
ately 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 de-
vices, the interfering devices must be removed or

- 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.

As with many other electrical devices, failure to take the
following precautions can result in serious injury or death
from electric shock or re 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 gen-
erators 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.
