WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

A very small portion of the population have a condition which may cause them to experience epileptic

seizures or have momentary loss of consciousness when viewing certain kinds of flashing lights or

patterns that are commonly present in our daily environment. These persons may experience seizures

while watching some kinds of television pictures or playing certain video games. Players who have

not had any previous seizures may still have an undetected epileptic condition.

If you or anyone in your family has experienced symptoms linked to an epileptic condition (e.g. a

seizure or loss of awareness), consult your physician before using any video games.

We recommend that parents observe their children while they play the games. If you or your child

experiences any of the following symptoms: dizziness, altered vision, eye or muscle twitching,

involuntary movements, loss of awareness, disorientation, or convulsions, discontinue use immediately

and consult your physician.

FOLLOW THE PRECAUTIONS BELOW WHENEVER USING YOUR GAME CONTROLLER:

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

• Always play in a well-lit room

• Be sure to take a 10 to 15 minute break at least every hour while playing.

REPETITIVE STRAIN WARNING

Some people may experience fatigue or discomfort after playing for a long time. Regardless of how

you feel, you should always take a 10 to 15 minutes break at least every hour while you are playing.

If your hands or arms become tired or uncomfortable sooner stop immediately and rest. If you continue

to experience soreness or discomfort during or after play, stop playing and consult a physician. Failure

to do so could result in long-term injury. If your hands, wrists or arms have been injured or strained

in other activities, use of your system could aggravate the condition. Before playing, consult a doctor .
