Epilepsy warning
PLEASE READ BEFORE USING GAMES OR ALLOWING YOUR CHILDREN TO USE THEM.
Some people are susceptible to epileptic seizures or loss of consciousness when exposed to
certain flashing lights or light patterns in everyday life. Such people may have a seizure while
watching television images or playing certain games. This may happen even if the person has
no medical history of epilepsy or has never had any epileptic seizures. If you or anyone in your
family has ever had symptoms related to epilepsy (seizures or loss of consciousness) when
exposed to flashing lights, consult your doctor prior to playing.
We advise that parents should monitor the use of games by their children. If you or your child
experience any of the following symptoms: dizziness, blurred vision, eye or muscle twitches,
loss of consciousness, disorientation, any involuntary movement or convulsion while playing a
game, IMMEDIATELY discontinue use and consult your doctor.
Precautions to take during use
• Do not sit or stand too close to the screen. Sit a good distance away from the screen.
• Preferably play a game on a small screen.
• Avoid playing if you are tired or have not had much sleep.
• Make sure that the room in which you are playing is well lit.
• Rest for at least 10 to 15 minutes per hour while playing a game.
Lightning Damage
CAUTION: Lightning strikes, power surges and other electrical anomalies can damage your
computer and other electronics. For the protection of your computer, it is recommended that you
connect all power cords for your computer and its peripheral devices (i.e. printer, scanner, etc.)
to some form of surge protection such as a power strip or UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply).
Not all power strips provide surge protection; they must be specifically labelled as having this
ability. Look for manufacturers that have a Damage Replacement Policy to replace your
equipment if their surge protection fails.
