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.
Caution About High Volume Usage
Warning:
Exposure to loud noise from any source for
extended periods of time may affect your hearing.
The louder the volume sound level, the less time is
required before your hearing could be affected. To
protect your hearing:
•
Limit the amount of time you use headsets or headphones
at high volume.
•
Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy
surroundings.
•
Turn the volume down if you can’t hear people speaking
near you.
If you experience hearing discomfort, including the sensation of
pressure or fullness in your ears, ringing in your ears, or muffled
speech, you should stop listening to the device through your
headset or headphones and have your hearing checked.

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.
