IMPORTANT CARE & SAFETY INFORMATION
Be Aware of the World Around You: Icuiti video products will immerse you in a
virtual world of realistic sights and sounds. At times this might cause you to forget
about the real world around you and the threats to your well being that it may present.
Plan ahead and use common sense: DO NOT use your Icuiti product near stairs,
balconies, or other things that can be tripped over, run into, knocked down or fallen
over. These products should only be used while you are seated and never while using
sharp or potentially dangerous objects, operating any form of mechanical device, or
performing any act that normally requires you to see what you are doing.
Your Icuiti product may be tethered to a power outlet and cables may extend between
components. Be careful that these cords do not tangle around you or pose a potential
threat to the safety of others.
Use Sound Judgment: Permanent or temporary hearing loss or impairment can
result from improper volume levels emitted from the ICUITI headphones. Always
adjust the volume to a safe level BEFORE wearing the Viewer and headphones.
Give Yourself a Break: Immersive video, whether viewed on a regular TV or an Icuiti
video display, can potentially have adverse effects on the user including possible
motion sickness, perceptual after effects and disorientation, and decreased postural
stability. In rare cases, the onset of these symptoms can be delayed. The onset and
severity of these potential effects is highly dependent on the individual user, the
exposure duration, and the intensity and speed of motions presented in the specific
application. A simulated walk in the park may have minimal impact whereas a virtual
high speed auto chase may cause onset. If you feel any discomfort or adverse effects,
you should stop and take a break immediately. In all cases, it is important and
recommended that you take breaks every 15 minutes during use. After use, wait until
you are completely reoriented to the real world and are not experiencing any of the
effects indicated above before commencing other activities. During this recovery
period you should NOT engage in potentially dangerous activities such as operating a
motor vehicle or other equipment.
Medical Considerations: A very small portion of the population may experience
epileptic seizures when viewing certain kinds of flashing lights or patterns that are
commonly present in our daily environment. These persons also experience seizures
while watching some kinds of television pictures or playing certain video games
including the use of a display system such as Icuiti's products. People who have not
had any previous seizures may nonetheless have an undetected epileptic condition.
We suggest that you consult a physician if you have any epileptic condition or if you
experience any of the following symptoms while using this device: altered vision,
muscle twitching, other involuntary movements, loss of awareness of your
surroundings, mental confusion, and/or convulsions.
Not To Be Used By Children Under Seven (7) Years Of Age: Children under the
age of seven (7) are still learning to focus and track with their eyes. Their vision is still
immature. For these reasons, THIS ICUITI PRODUCT SHOULD NOT BE USED BY
CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF SEVEN (7).
