k Seizures/Blackouts
Warning
A very small percentage of individuals may experience epileptic seizures
when exposed to certain light patterns or flashing lights. Exposure to
certain patterns or backgrounds on a computer screen, or while playing
video games, may induce an epileptic seizure in these individuals.
Certain conditions may induce previously undetected epileptic
symptoms even in persons who have no history of prior seizures or
epilepsy.
If you, or anyone in your family, have an epileptic condition, consult
your physician prior to playing. If you experience any of the following
symptoms while playing a video or computer game—dizziness, altered
vision, eye or muscle twitches, loss of awareness, disorientation, any
involuntary movement, or convulsions—IMMEDIATELY discontinue use
and consult your physician before resuming play.
k Repetitive Motion Injuries
When you play games on your phone, you may experience occasional
discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your
body. Follow these instructions to avoid problems such as tendonitis,
carpal tunnel syndrome, or other musculoskeletal disorders:
• Take a minimum 15-minute break every hour of game playing.
• If your hands, wrists, or arms become tired or sore while playing, stop
and rest for several hours before playing again.
• If you continue to have sore hands, wrists, or arms during or after play,
stop playing and see a doctor.
