Seizures induced by light stimulation (Photosensitive
Epilepsy)
If you have an epileptic condition or have had seizures, consult
your doctor prior to playing. Some individuals may experience
eye soreness, altered vision, migraine, muscle twitching,
convulsion, blackout, loss of awareness or disorientation when
exposed to flashing or flickering lights or other light stimulation
on a television screen or while playing video games. If you
experience any of the above symptoms while playing,
discontinue use immediately and consult your doctor.
Stop playing immediately when you experience the
following symptoms
In addition to the above symptoms, whilst playing if you have a
headache, dizziness, nausea, fatigue, similar symptoms to
motion sickness, or if you feel a discomfort or pain in any body
part such as eyes, ears, hands, arms, feet, discontinue use
immediately. If the condition persists, seek medical attention.
Radio waves
Radio waves may affect electronic equipment or medical
devices (for example, pacemakers), which may cause
malfunctions and possible injuries.
• If you use a pacemaker or other medical device, consult your
physician or the manufacturer of your medical device before
using the wireless networking feature (Bluetooth
wireless LAN).
• Do not use the wireless networking feature in the following
locations:
– Areas where wireless network use is prohibited, such as in
hospitals. Abide by medical institution regulations when
using the system on their premises.
– Areas near fire alarms, automatic doors and other types of
automated equipment.
3D images
Some people may experience discomfort (such as eye strain,
eye fatigue, or nausea) while watching 3D video images or
playing stereoscopic 3D games on 3D televisions. If you
experience such discomfort you should immediately
discontinue use of your television until the discomfort subsides.
Generally we recommend that you avoid prolonged use of your
PlayStation
hour of play. However, when playing stereoscopic 3D games or
watching 3D video, the length and frequency of necessary
breaks may vary from person to person – please take breaks
that are long enough to allow any feelings of discomfort to
subside. If symptoms persist, consult your doctor.
The vision of young children (especially those under six years
old) is still under development. Consult with your child's doctor
or optometrist before allowing young children to watch 3D video
images or play stereoscopic 3D games. Adults should
supervise young children to ensure they follow the
recommendations listed above.
