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 BOLT 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 BOLT in a well-lit room, and take frequent breaks.
WARNING: Choking Hazards
Sphero BOLT has small parts inside its shell, which may present a choking hazard to small children and pets. Keep Sphero BOLT and its
accessories away from small children.
Keeping Sphero BOLT Within Acceptable Temperatures
Operate and store Sphero BOLT 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 BOLT to temporarily stop working properly. Avoid dramatic changes in temperature or
humidity when using Sphero BOLT, as condensation may form on or within Sphero BOLT. Don't leave Sphero BOLT in your car, because
temperatures in parked cars can exceed this range. When you're using Sphero BOLT or charging the battery, it is normal for Sphero BOLT to get
warm. The exterior of Sphero BOLT functions as a cooling surface that transfers heat from inside the unit to the cooler air outside.
