GENERAL
WARNING: Photosensitive Seizures
A very small percentage of people may experience a
seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including
ashing lights or patterns that may appear in video
games. Even people who have no history of seizures or
epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can
cause these „photosensitive epileptic seizures” while
watching video games.
Theseseizuresmayhaveavarietyofsymptoms,including
light-headedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching,
jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation,
confusion, or momentary loss of consciousness.
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 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.
WARNING: 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 musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) include carpal
tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, 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 that the amount of time a person performs an
activity may also be a factor.
If you have questions about how your own lifestyle,
activities, or medical or physical condition may be
related to MSDs, see a qualied health professional.

injury:
Keep batteries out of reach of children.
Do not heat, open, puncture, mutilate, or dispose
of batteries in re.
Use only quality batteries, type AA.
Do not mix new and old batteries.
Remove the batteries if they are worn out or before
storing your racing wheel for an extended period
of time.
If a battery leaks, remove all batteries, taking
care to keep the leaked uid from touching your
skin or clothes. If uid from the battery comes
into contact with skin or clothes, ush skin with
water immediately. Before inserting new batteries,
thoroughly clean the battery compartment
with a damp paper towel, or follow the battery
manufacturer’s recommendations for cleanup.
Dispose of batteries in accordance with local and
national disposal regulations (if any).
WARNING: Electrical Safety
As with many other electrical devices, failure to take
the following precautions can result in serious injury or
death from electric shock or re or damage to the racing
wheel.

If you use AC power, select an appropriate power
source:
Use only the power supply and AC power cord that
came with your racing wheel or that you received
from an authorized repair center.
Do not use non-standard power sources, such as
generators or inverters, even if the voltage and
frequency appear acceptable. Only use AC power
provided by a standard wall outlet.
To avoid damaging the AC power cord:
Protect the cord from being pinched or sharply
bent, particularly where it connects to the
power outlet and the racing wheel.
Do not jerk, knot, sharply bend, or otherwise
abuse the power cord.
Do not expose the power cord to sources of
heat.
When disconnecting the power cord or power
supply, pull on the plug — do not pull on the
cord.
If the power cord becomes damaged in any
way, stop using it immediately and contact
Fanatec Customer Support for a replacement.
Unplug your racing wheel’s power cord during
storms or when unused for long periods of
time.

WARNING: Remove Batteries Aboard Aircraft
Before packing the racing wheel in luggage that will
be checked on an aircraft, remove any batteries from
the racing wheel. The racing wheel can transmit radio
frequency (RF) energy, much like a cellular telephone,
whenever batteries are installed.
