Repetitive Motion Injuries When using the keyboard or playing
games on your smartphone, you may experience discomfort in your
neck, shoulders, hands, arms, of other parts of the body. To avoid
any injury, such as tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or other
musculoskeletal disorder, make sure to take necessary breaks from
use, take longer rests (such as several hours) if discomfort or tiring
begins, and see a doctor if discomfort persists.
Blackouts and Seizures Blinking lights, such as those experienced
with television or playing video games, may cause some people to
experience blackout or seizure, even if never experienced before. In

involuntary movements, stop use immediately and consult a doctor.
Individuals with personal or family history of such events should
consult a doctor before using the device. To limit the possibility of

minutes, use in a well lighted area, view the screen from the farthest
distance and avoid exposure to blinking lights if you are tired.
