Important health warnings about
playing video games
WARNING! Gameplay with the E1 device may require
varying amounts of movement. To reduce the risk
of injury or property damage, take the following
precautions before playing:
• Make sure you have enough space to move freely.
• Look in all directions (right, left, forward,
backward, down, and up). Make sure there is
nothing you might trip on—toys, furniture, or loose
rugs, for example.
• Make sure your play space is far enough away
from windows, walls, stairs, etc.
• Be aware of children and pets in the area.
If necessary, move objects or people out of the
play space.
While playing:
• Stay far enough away from your TV to
avoid contact.
• Keep enough distance from other players,
bystanders, and pets. This distance may vary
between games, so take account of how you are
playing when determining how far away you
need to be.
• Stay alert for objects or people you might hit or
trip over. People and objects can move into the
area during play, so always be alert to
your surroundings.
• Make sure you always have good footing
while playing:
o Play on a level oor with enough traction for
game activities.
o Make sure to use proper footwear for gaming
or are barefoot, if appropriate. Do not wear
high-heels, ip-ops, etc.
Don’t overexert yourself:
Gameplay with the E1 device may require varying
amounts of physical activity. Consult a doctor before
using the E1 device if you have any medical condition
or issue that affects your ability to safely perform
physical activities, or if you:
• are or may be pregnant,
• have heart, respiratory, back, joint, or other
orthopedic conditions,
• have high blood pressure,
• have difculty with physical exercise, or
• have been instructed to restrict physical activity.
Consult your doctor before beginning any exercise
routine or tness regimen that includes using
the E1 device.
Do not play under the inuence of drugs or alcohol.
Ensure your balance and physical abilities are
adequate for any movements expected to be
undertaken while gaming.
Take breaks periodically
Stop and rest if your muscles, joints, or eyes become
tired or sore. If you experience excessive fatigue,
nausea, shortness of breath, chest tightness,
dizziness, discomfort, or pain, STOP USING
IMMEDIATELY and consult a doctor.
Photosensitive seizures
A very small percentage of people may experience
a seizure when exposed to certain visual images,
including ashing lights or patterns that may appear
in video games. Even people who have no history
of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed
condition that can cause these “photosensitive
epileptic seizures” while watching video games.
These seizures may have a variety of symptoms,
including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye,
or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or
legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss
of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of
consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury
from falling or striking nearby objects.
Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if
you experience any of these symptoms. Parents
should watch for or ask their children about the
above symptoms. The risk of photosensitive epileptic
seizures may be reduced by taking the
following precautions:
• Sit or stand farther from the TV screen.
• Use a smaller TV screen.
• Play in a well-lit room.
• Do not play when you are drowsy or fatigued.
• If you or any of your relatives have a history of
seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor
before playing.
Musculoskeletal disorders
Use of game controllers, keyboards, mice, or other
electronic input devices may be linked to serious
injuries or disorders.
When playing video games, as with many activities,
you may experience occasional discomfort in your
hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your
body. However, if you experience symptoms such as
persistent or recurring discomfort, pain, throbbing,
aching, tingling, numbness, burning sensation,
or stiffness, DO NOT IGNORE THESE WARNING
SIGNS. PROMPTLY SEE A QUALIFIED HEALTH
PROFESSIONAL, even if symptoms occur when you
are not playing a video game. Symptoms such as
these can be associated with painful and sometimes
permanently disabling injuries or disorders of the
nerves, muscles, tendons, blood vessels, and other
parts of the body. These musculoskeletal disorders
(MSDs) include carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis,
tenosynovitis, vibration syndromes, and
other conditions.
While researchers are not yet able to answer many
questions about MSDs, there is general agreement
that many factors may be linked to their occurrence,
including medical and physical conditions, stress
and how one copes with it, overall health, and how
a person positions and uses their body during work
and other activities (including playing a video game).
Some studies suggest the amount of time a person
performs an activity may be a factor.
