IMPORTANT HEALTH WARNINGS ABOUT PLAYING VIDEO GAMES
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down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—children and
teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures. 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thattheamountoftimeaperson
performs an activity may also be a factor.
Some guidelines that may help you work and play more comfortably and possibly
reduceyourriskofexperiencinganMSDcanbefoundintheHealthyGamingGuideat
www.xbox.com. These guidelines address topics such as:
• Positioningyourselftousecomfortable,notawkward,postures.
• Keepingyourhands,ngers,andotherbodypartsrelaxed.
• Takingbreaks.
• Developingahealthylifestyle.
 Ifyouhavequestionsabouthowyourownlifestyle,activities,ormedicalorphysical
conditionmayberelatedtoMSDs,seeaqualiedhealthprofessional.
Disposable Battery Safety
These precautions apply to all products that use rechargeable or disposable batteries.
 Improperuseofbatteriesmayresultinbatteryuidleakage,overheating,or
explosion.Releasedbatteryuidiscorrosiveandmaybetoxic.Itcancauseskinand
eyeburns,andisharmfulifswallowed.
 Toreducetheriskofinjury:
• Keepbatteriesoutofreachofchildren.
• Donotheat,open,puncture,mutilate,ordisposeofbatteriesinre.
• Donotmixnewandoldbatteriesorbatteriesofdifferenttypes(forexample,
carbon-zincandalkalinebatteries).
• Donotallowmetalobjectstotouchthebatteryterminalsonthedevice;theycan
become hot and cause burns.
• Removethebatteriesiftheyarewornoutorbeforestoringyourdeviceforan
extended period of time.
• Alwaysremoveold,weak,orworn-outbatteriespromptlyandrecycleordisposeof
theminaccordancewithLocalandNationalDisposalRegulations.
• Ifabatteryleaks,removeallbatteries,takingcaretokeeptheleakeduidfrom
touchingyourskinorclothes.Ifuidfromthebatterycomesintocontactwithskin
orclothes,ushskinwithwaterimmediately.Beforeinsertingnewbatteries,
thoroughlycleanthebatterycompartmentwithadamppapertowel,orfollowthe
battery manufacturer’s recommendations for cleanup.
Insert batteries according to the instructions in this manual.
Caution
 Riskofexplosionifbatteryisreplacedbyanincorrecttype.Useandreplaceonlywith
correctsizeandtype(alkaline,zinc-carbon,orzinc-chloride)ofbatteries.
