Safety Information Contents
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 farther 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 Instruction
Manual contains important health and safety 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 gameplay 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 played safely 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 safely on your set.
