IMPORTANT HEALTH WARNINGS ABOUT PLAYING VIDEO GAMES
Photosensitive Seizures
A ver small percentage of people ma experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that ma
appear in video games. Even people who have no histor of seizures or epileps ma have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these
“photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching video games.
These seizures ma have a variet of s mptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, e e or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or
legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentar loss of awareness. Seizures ma also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to
injur from falling down or striking nearb objects.
Immediatel stop pla ing and consult a doctor if ou experience an of these s mptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the
above s mptoms—children and teenagers are more likel than adults to experience these seizures. The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures
ma be reduced b taking the following precautions:
• Sit or stand farther from the TV screen.
• Use a smaller TV screen.

• Pla in a well-lit room.
• Do not pla when ou are drows or fatigued.
If ou or an of our relatives have a histor of seizures or epileps , consult a doctor before pla ing.
Mus uloskeletal Disorders
Use of game controllers, ke boards, mice, or other electronic input devices ma be linked to serious injuries or disorders.
When pla ing video games, as with man activities, ou ma experience occasional discomfort in our hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other
parts of our bod . However, if ou experience s mptoms 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
s mptoms occur when ou are not pla ing a video game. S mptoms such as these can be associated with painful and sometimes permanentl
disabling injuries or disorders of the nerves, muscles, tendons, blood vessels, and other parts of the bod . These musculoskeletal disorders
(MSDs) include carpal tunnel s ndrome, tendinitis, tenos novitis, vibration s ndromes, and other conditions.
While researchers are not et able to answer man questions about MSDs, there is general agreement that man factors ma be linked to their
occurrence, including medical and ph sical conditions, stress and how one copes with it, overall health, and how a person positions and uses their
bod during work and other activities (including pla ing a video game). Some studies suggest that the amount of time a person performs an
activit ma also be a factor.
Some guidelines that ma help ou work and pla more comfortabl and possibl reduce our risk of experiencing an MSD can be found in the
Health Gaming Guide at www.xbox.com. These guidelines address topics such as:
• Positioning ourself to use comfortable, not awkward, postures.
• Keeping our hands, fingers, and other bod parts relaxed.
• Taking breaks.
• Developing a health lifest le.
If ou have questions about how our own lifest le, activities, or medical or ph sical condition ma be related to MSDs, see a qualified health
professional.
Disposable Battery Safety
These precautions appl to all products that use rechargeable or disposable batteries.
Improper use of batteries ma result in batter fluid leakage, overheating, or explosion. Released batter fluid is corrosive and ma be toxic. It
can cause skin and e e burns, and is harmful if swallowed.
To reduce the risk of injur :
• Keep batteries out of reach of children.
• Do not heat, open, puncture, mutilate, or dispose of batteries in fire.
• Do not mix new and old batteries or batteries of different t pes (for example, carbon-zinc and alkaline batteries).
• Do not allow metal objects to touch the batter terminals on the device; the can become hot and cause burns.
• Remove the batteries if the are worn out or before storing our device for an extended period of time.
• Alwa s remove old, weak, or worn-out batteries promptl and rec cle or dispose of them in accordance with Local and National Disposal
Regulations.
• If a batter leaks, remove all batteries, taking care to keep the leaked fluid from touching our skin or clothes. If fluid from the batter comes
into contact with skin or clothes, flush skin with water immediatel . Before inserting new batteries, thoroughl clean the batter compartment
with a damp paper towel, or follow the batter manufacturer’s recommendations for cleanup.
Insert batteries according to the instructions in this manual.
Caution
Risk of explosion if batter is replaced b an incorrect t pe. Use and replace onl with correct size and t pe (alkaline, zinc-carbon, or zinc-
chloride) of batteries.
