Precautions
Seizures
A very small number of people may experience seizures or blackouts
triggered by ashes of light or particular patterns of colour. This may happen
even if they have never had a seizure before. Video games, some of which
employ eects such as colour-cycling or screen-ashing, may trigger these
symptoms.
● Anyone who has had a seizure, blackout, loss of awareness or any
symptom related to an epileptic condition should consult a doctor before
using THEA500 Mini.
● Stop using THEA500 Mini immediately and consult a doctor if you or
anyone using or viewing THEA500 Mini experiences dizziness, eye or
muscle twitches, disorientation, aected vision, involuntary movements,
convulsions or seizures. Only resume after consulting with a doctor.

eld of vision, by keeping a sensible distance away from the screen and/
