• Some people (about 1 in 4000) may have seizures or blackouts triggered by light flashes or patterns,

should consult a doctor before playing a video game.

• Parents should watch their children play video games. Stop playing and consult a doctor if you or
your child has any of the following symptoms:

Playing video games can make your muscles, joints, skin or eyes hurt. Follow these instructions to avoid
problems such as tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, skin irritation or eyestrain:

• Avoid excessive play. Parents should monitor their children for appropriate play.

• Take a 10 to 15 minute break every hour, even if you don’t think you need it.

• If your hands, wrists, arms or eyes become tired or sore while playing, or if you feel symptoms such as
tingling, numbness, burning or stiffness, stop and rest for several hours before playing again.

• If you continue to have any of the above symptoms or other discomfort during or after play, stop playing

If battery leakage occurs, avoid contact with skin. If contact occurs, immediately wash thoroughly with soap and
water. If liquid leaking from a battery pack comes into contact with your eyes, immediately flush thoroughly with
water and see a doctor.
To avoid battery leakage:

• Do not expose battery to excessive physical shock, vibration, or liquids.

• Do not disassemble, attempt to repair or deform the battery.
