ABOUT 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 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 of 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 rear­projection 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 find 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.
