Warning!

Some people are susceptible to epileptic seizures or loss of consciousness when exposed
to certain flashing lights or light patterns in everyday life. Such people may have a
seizure while watching television images or playing certain video games. This may
happen even if the person has no medical history of epilepsy or has never had any
epileptic seizures. If you or anyone in your family has ever had symptoms related to
epilepsy (seizures or loss of consciousness) when exposed to flashing lights, consult
your doctor prior to playing. If you or your child experience any of the following
symptoms: dizziness, blurred vision, eye or muscle twitches, loss of consciousness,
disorientation, any involuntary movement or convulsion, while playing a video game,
IMMEDIATELY discontinue use and consult your doctor.

Precautions

• Always play in a well lit room and sit as far away from the monitor screen as
possible.

• Avoid playing if you are tired or have not had much sleep.

• Rest for at least 10 to 15 minutes in every hour of playing.
