Seizures/Blackouts
Some people may be susceptible to epileptic seizures or blackouts when exposed to
flashing lights, such as when watching television or playing video games. These seizures
or blackouts may occur even if a person 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 doctor before playing video games on your phone
or enabling a flashing-lights feature on your phone. (The flashing-lights feature is not
available on all products.)
Parents should monitor their children's use of video game or other features that
incorporate flashing lights on the phones. All persons should discontinue use and consult
a doctor if any of the following symptoms occur: convulsion, eye or muscle twitching, loss
of awareness, involuntary movements, or disorientation.
To limit the likelihood of such symptoms, please take the following safety precautions:
•
Do not play or use a flashing-lights feature if you are tired or need sleep.
•
Take a minimum of a 15-minute break hourly.
•
Play in a room in which all lights are on.
•
Play at the farthest distance possible from the screen.
Repetitive Motion Injuries
When you play games on your phone, you may experience occasional discomfort in your
hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body. Follow these instructions to
avoid problems such as tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or other musculoskeletal
disorders:
•
Take a minimum 15-minute break every hour of game playing.
Your battery or phone should not be thrown in the trash.
Your phone contains an internal lithium ion battery.
