Seizures / Blackouts
Some people may be susceptible to epileptic seizures
or blackouts when exposed to blinking 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 blinking lights feature on
your phone. (The blinking-light feature is not available
on all products.)
Parents should monitor their children's use of video
game or other features that incorporate blinking 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 blinking-lights feature if you
are tired or need sleep.
Take a minimum of a 15-minute break hourly.
Play in a room in which all lights are on.
Play at the farthest distance possible from
the screen.

Repetitive Motion Injuries

When you play games on your phone, you may
experience occasional discomfort in your hands,
arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body.
Follow these instructions to avoid problems such
as tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or other
musculoskeletal disorders:
Take a minimum 15-minute break every hour
of game playing.
If your hands, wrists, or arms become tired or
sore while playing, stop and rest for several hours
before playing again.
If you continue to have sore hands, wrists, or arms
during or after play, stop playing and see a doctor.
