Safety Information
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 welllit 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 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 played safely 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 safely on your set.
Unauthorized copying, reverse engineering, transmission, public performance,
rental, pay for play, or circumvention of copy protection is strictly prohibited.
