IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION: READ THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS BEFORE YOU OR YOUR CHILD PLAY VIDEO GAMES

 

WARNING - Seizures

• Some people (about 1 in 4000) may have seizures or blackouts triggered by light flashes, such as while watching TV or playing video games, even if they have never had a seizure before.

• Anyone who has had a seizure, loss of awareness, or other symptom linked to an epileptic condition 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 have any of the following symptoms:

  • Convulsions
  • Altered vision
  • Eye or muscle twitching
  • Involuntary movements
  • Loss of awareness
  • Disorientation

To reduce the likelihood of a seizure when playing video games:

1. Sit or stand as far away from the screen as possible.

2. Play video games on the smallest available television screen.

3. Do not play if you are tired or need sleep.

4. Play in a well-lit room.

5. Take a 10 to 15 minute break every hour.

WARNING - Repetitive Motion Injuries

Playing video games can make your muscles, joints or skin hurt after a few hours.  Follow these instructions to avoid problems such as Tendinitis, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome or skin irritation:

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

• If your hands, wrists or arms become tired or sore while playing, stop and rest them for several hours before playing again.

• If you continue to have sore hands, wrists or arms during or after play, stop playing and see a doctor.

WARNING - Electric Shock

To avoid electric shock when you use this system:
