seizure or other complications when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns
that may appear during Sprout 2D and 3D calibration, and/or 3D Capture scans. If you, or any user, have a
history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a physician before using Sprout calibration or 3D Capture scan
functionality. Even those without a personal family history of epilepsy or stroke may have an undiagnosed

scanning functionality and consult a physician:

Parents should monitor and ask their children if they have any of the above symptoms. Children and
teenagers may be more likely than adults to experience these symptoms.

physician (such as a pediatrician or eye doctor) before allowing young children to use Sprout calibration or
scanning functionality.
To help reduce the likelihood of adverse physical reactions:
Use in a well-lit area and do not look directly at the Sprout or the light patterns generated by the Sprout
●
during calibration or 3D scans.
Avoid prolonged use of the 3D scanning process.
●
Take a 15-minute break during each hour of Sprout use. The length and frequency of necessary breaks
