Seizures/blackouts
The phone can produce a bright or flashing light. A small percentage of people
may be susceptible to blackouts or seizures (even if they have never had one
before) when exposed to flashing lights or light patterns such as when playing
games or watching video. If you have experienced seizures or blackouts or have
a family history of such occurrences, please consult a physician.

To minimize the risk of Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) when texting or playing
games with your phone:
• Do not grip the phone too tightly.

pressing buttons, such as Message Templates and Predictive Text.
• Take lots of breaks to stretch and relax.

hearing. Turn down the volume before using headphones, Bluetooth stereo
