4. Avoid dropping it. Never try to dismantle it.
5. Always keep the V.SMILE Cyber Pocket™ away from water.
6. Please examine the toy transformer periodically for conditions that
may result in the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons(such as
damage to the output cord, blades, housing, or other parts) and that, in
an event of such conditions, the transformer should not be used until
properly repaired.
WARNING
A very small percentage of the public, due to an existing condition, may experience
epileptic seizures or momentary loss of consciousness when viewing certain types
of ashing colors or patterns, especially on television. While the V.SMILE Cyber
Pocket™ does not contribute to any additional risks, we do recommend that parents
supervise their children while they play video games. If your child experiences
dizziness, altered vision, disorientation, or convulsions, discontinue use immediately
and consult your physician.
Please note that focusing on a television and LCD screen at close range and handling
joystick controls for a prolonged period of time may cause fatigue or discomfort. We
recommend that children take a 15 minute break for every hour of play.
