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 flashing colors or patterns. While the MobiGo®Touch Learning System 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 an LCD screen at close range and
handling directional pad 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.
WARNING: All packing materials, such as tape, plastic sheets, packaging locks and tags
are not part of this toy, and should be discarded for your child’s safety.
ATTENTION Pour la sécurité de votre enfant, débarrassez-vous de tous les produits
d’emballage tels que rubans adhésifs, feuilles de plastique, attaches et
étiquettes. Ils ne font pas partie du jouet.
Note: Please keep the user’s manual as it contains important information.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Please note that if you try to insert or remove a MobiGo®cartridge without first turning the
unit OFF, you may experience a malfunction. If this happens, and the unit does not respond
to pressing the ON/OFF buttons, disconnect the AC adaptor from the main unit or remove
the batteries. Then, reconnect the adaptor, or reinstall the batteries.
