Some people may suffer epileptic seizures or
blackouts when exposed to flashing lights, or
when 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 your doctor before playing video games
on your phone or enabling a flashing-lights
feature on your phone.
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 with or use flashing-light features
if you are tired or need sleep.
- Take a minimum 15-minute break per hour.
- Play in a room in which all lights are on.
- Play at the farthest distance possible from the
screen.
- 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 playing, stop the game
and see a doctor.
