WARNING – Seizures
Some people (about 1 in 4000) may have seizures or blackouts triggered by light flashes or patterns,
and this may occur while they are watching TV or playing video games, even if they have never had a
seizure before. Anyone who has ever experienced seizures, loss of awareness or any other symptom
linked to an epileptic condition should consult a doctor before playing video games.
Stop playing and consult a doctor if you have any unusual symptoms, such as: convulsions, eye or
muscle twitching, loss of awareness, altered vision, involuntary movements, or disorientation.
To reduce the likelihood of a seizure when playing video games:
• Do not play if you are tired or need sleep.
• Play in a well-lit room.
• Take a break of 10 to 15 minutes every hour.
WARNING – Eye Strain, Motion Sickness and Repetitive Motion Injuries
Avoid excessively long play sessions.
Take a break of 10 to 15 minutes every hour, even if you don't think you need it.
Stop playing if you experience any of these symptoms:
• If your eyes become tired or sore while playing, or if you feel dizzy, nauseated or tired;
• If your hands, wrists, or arms become tired or sore while playing, or if you feel tingling, numbness,
burning or stiffness or other discomfort.
If any of these symptoms persist, consult a doctor.
WARNING – Pregnancy and Medical Conditions
Consult a doctor before playing games that may require physical activity if:
• You are pregnant;
• You suffer from heart, respiratory, back, joint or orthopaedic problems;
• You have high blood pressure;
• Your doctor has instructed you to restrict your physical activity;
• You have any other medical condition that may be aggravated by physical activity.
WARNING – Batteries
Stop using if a battery is leaking.
If battery fluid comes into contact with your eyes, immediately rinse your eyes with plenty of water and
consult a doctor. If any fluid leaks on your hands, wash them thoroughly with water. Carefully wipe the
fluid from the exterior of the device with a cloth.
The console and Joy-Con controllers each contain a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. Do not replace the
batteries yourself. The batteries must be removed and replaced by a qualified professional. Please contact
