Some people may suffer epileptic seizures or
blackouts when exposed to flashing lights, or
when playing video games. These seizures or
blackouts may occur even if a person never
had a previous seizure or blackout. If you have
experienced seizures or blackouts, or if you have
a family history of such occurrences, please
consult your doctor before playing video games
on your device or enabling a flashing-lights
feature on your device.
Parents should monitor their children's use of
video games or other features that incorporate
flashing lights on the devices. All persons should
discontinue use and consult a doctor if any
of the following symptoms occur: convulsion,
eye or muscle twitching, loss of awareness,
involuntary movements, or disorientation. To
limit the likelihood of such symptoms, please
take the following safety precautions:
• Do not play or use a flashing-lights feature if
you are tired or need sleep.
• Take a minimum of a 15-minute break hourly.
