Safety and General Information
Seizures/Blackouts
Some people may be susceptible to epileptic seizures or blackouts when
exposed to flashing lights, such as when playing video games. These may
occur even if a person has never had a previous seizure or blackout. If you
have experienced seizures or blackouts, or if you have a family history of
such occurrences, please consult with your physician before playing video
games or enabling a flashing-lights feature (if available) on your mobile
device. Discontinue use and consult a physician if any of the following
symptoms occur: convulsion, eye or muscle twitching, loss of awareness,
involuntary movements, or disorientation. It is always a good idea to hold
the screen away from your eyes, leave the lights on in the room, take a
15-minute break every hour, and stop use if you are very tired.
Repetitive Motion
When you repetitively perform actions such as pressing keys or entering
finger-written characters, you may experience occasional discomfort
in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck or other parts of your body.
If you continue to have discomfort during or after such use, stop use and
see a physician.
