Seizure, Blackouts and Eyestrain
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, you should consult a physician before playing video games or watching videos.
Discontinue use of Sphero indi and your smart device controller and consult a physician if you experience headaches, blackouts,
seizures, convulsion, eye or muscle twitching, loss of awareness, involuntary movement, or disorientation. To reduce risk of
headaches, blackouts, seizures, and eyestrain, avoid prolonged use, hold your smart device controller some distance from your
eyes, use Sphero indi in a well-lit room, and take frequent breaks.
WARNING: Not suitable for children under 36 months. This toy contains small parts. Choking Hazards
Sphero indi has small parts inside, which may present a choking hazard to small children and pets. Keep Sphero indi and its
accessories away from small children under 36 months.
Keeping Sphero indi Within Acceptable Temperatures
Operate and store Sphero indi in a place where the temperature is between 0º C - 40º C (32º C - 104º F). Low or high-temperature
conditions might temporarily shorten battery life or cause Sphero indi to temporarily stop working properly. Avoid dramatic
changes in temperature or humidity when using Sphero indi. Don't leave Sphero indi in your car because temperatures in parked
cars can exceed this range. When you're using Sphero indi or charging the battery, it is normal for Sphero indi to get warm.
