3.7 Seizures/Blackouts
Some people may be susceptible to epileptic seizures or
blackouts when exposed to flashing lights, such as when
watching television or 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 with
your doctor before playing video games on your phone or
enabling a flashing-lights feature on your phone. (The
flashing-light feature is not available on all products.)
Parents should monitor their children's use of video games
or other features that incorporate flashing lights on the
phones. 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.
