SAFETY INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
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 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 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.
