of
how you are playing when determining how
far
away
you
need
to be.
•
Stay alert
for
objects
or
people you might
hit or
trip
over.
People and objects can move into the area during play,
so
always
be
alert
to
your
surroundings.

Make sure you always have good footing while
playing:
•
Play
on a
level floor with enough traction
for
game
activities.
•
Make sure
to
use proper footwear
for
gaming
or
are
barefoot,
if
appropriate.
Do
not wear high-heels, flip-flops,
etc.
Don’t overexert
yourself
Gameplay with the Kinect sensor may require varying
amounts
of
physical
activity.
Consult
a
doctor before using the sensor
if
you have any
medical
condition
or
issue that affects your ability
to
safely
perform
physical activities,
or if you:
•
are
or
may
be pregnant,
•
have heart, respiratory, back, joint,
or
other orthopedic
conditions,
•
have high blood
pressure,
•
have difficulty with physical exercise,
or

have been instructed
to
restrict physical
activity.
Consult your doctor before beginning any exercise routine
or
fitness regimen that includes using the Kinect
sensor.
Do
not play under the influence
of
drugs
or
alcohol, and
make
sure your balance and physical abilities are sufficient
for any
movements while
gaming.
Take breaks
periodically
Stop and rest
if
your muscles, joints,
or
eyes become tired
or sore.
If
you experience excessive fatigue, nausea, shortness
of breath,
chest tightness, dizziness, discomfort,
or
pain, STOP
USING
IMMEDIATELY and consult
a doctor.

WARNING:
Important Health Warnings about
Playing
Video
Games
Photosensitive
Seizures
A
very small percentage
of
people may experience
a seizure
when exposed
to
certain visual images, including flashing
lights
or
patterns that may appear
in
video games. Even people
who
have
no
history
of
seizures
or
epilepsy may have
an
undiagno
s
ed
condition that can cause these “photosensitive epileptic
seizures”
while watching video
games.
These seizures may have
a
variety
of
symptoms,
including
lightheadedness, altered vision, eye,
or
face twitching, jerking
or
shaking
of
arms
or
legs, disorientation, confusion,
or
momentary
loss
of
awareness. Seizures may also cause loss
of consciousness
or
convulsions that can lead
to
injury from falling down
or
striking nearby
objects.
Immediately stop playing and consult
a
doctor
if
you
experience
any
of
these symptoms. Parents should watch
for or
ask
their
children about the above symptoms—children and teenagers
are
more likely than adults
to
experience these seizures. The risk
of
photosensitive epileptic seizures may
be
reduced
by
taking
the
following
precautions:
•
Sit
or
stand farther from the
TV screen.
•
Use
a
smaller
TV screen.
•
Play
in a
well-lit
room.
• Do
not play when you are drowsy
or fatigued.
• If
you
or
any
of
your relatives have
a
history
of
seizures
or
epilepsy, consult
a
doctor before
playing.
Musculoskeletal
Disorders
Use
of
game controllers, keyboards, mice,
or
other
electronic
input devices may
be
linked
to
serious injuries
or disorders.
When playing video games, as with many activities, you
may
experience occasional discomfort
in
your hands, arms,
shoulders,
neck,
or
other parts
of
your body. However,
if
you
experience
symptoms such as persistent
or
recurring discomfort,
pain,
throbbing, aching, tingling, numbness, burning sensation,
or
stiffness,
DO
NOT IGNORE THESE WARNING SIGNS.
PROMPTLY
SEE
A
QUALIFIED HEALTH PROFESSIONAL, even
if symptoms
occur when you are not playing
a
video game. Symptoms such
as
these can
be
associated with painful and sometimes
permanently
disabling injuries
or
disorders
of
the nerves, muscles,
tendons,
blood vessels, and other parts
of
the body. These mu
s
culo
s
keletal
disorders (MSDs) include carpal tunnel syndrome,
tendinitis,
tenosynovitis, vibration syndromes, and other
conditions.
While researchers are not yet able
to
answer many
questions
about MSDs, there
is
general agreement that many factors
may
be
linked
to
their occurrence, including medical and
physical
conditions, stress and how one copes with
it,
overall health,
and
how
a
person positions and uses their body during work
and
other activities (including playing
a
video game). Some
studies
suggest the amount
of
time
a
person performs
an
activity
may
be a factor.
Some guidelines that may help you work and play
more
comfortably and possibly reduce your risk
of
experiencing
an
MSD can
be
found
in
the Healthy Gaming Guide
at
xbox.com/xboxone/playhealthy. These guidelines address
topics
such
as:
•
Positioning yourself
to
use comfortable, not
awkward,
postures.
•
Keeping your hands, fingers, and other body parts
relaxed.
•
Taking
breaks.
•
Developing
a
healthy
lifestyle.
If
you have questions about how your own lifestyle,
activities,
or
medical
or
physical condition may
be
related
to
MSDs, see
a
qualified health
professional.

Avoid
glare
To
minimize eyestrain from glare,
try
the
following:
•
Position yourself
at a
comfortable distance from
your
television
or
monitor and the Kinect
sensor.
•
Place your television
or
monitor and Kinect sensor away
from
light sources that produce glare,
or
use window blinds
to
control light
levels.
•
Choose soothing natural light that minimizes glare
and
eyestrain and increases contrast and
clarity.
