Seizures/Blackouts
Some people may be susceptible to epileptic
seizures or blackouts when exposed to flashing
lights, such as when watching television or playing
video games. These seizures or blackouts may
occur even if a person never had a previous
seizure or blackout.
If you have experienced seizures or blackouts, or if
you have a family history of such occurrences,
please consult your doctor before playing video
games on your phone or enabling a flashing-lights
feature on your phone (the flashing-light feature is
not available on all products).
Parents should monitor their children's use of
video games or other features that incorporate
flashing lights on the phones. All persons should
discontinue use and consult a doctor if any of the
following symptoms occur: convulsion, eye or
muscle twitching, loss of awareness, involuntary
movements, or disorientation.
To limit the likelihood of such symptoms, please
take the following safety precautions:
• Do not play or use a flashing-lights feature if
you are tired or need sleep.
• Take a minimum of a 15-minute break
hourly.
• Play in a room in which all lights are on.
• Play at the farthest distance possible from
the screen.
Caution About High Volume Usage
Listening at full volume to music or voice
through a headset may damage your
hearing.

Repetitive Motion Injuries

When you repetitively perform actions such as
pressing keys or entering finger-written characters,
you may experience occasional discomfort in your
hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of
your body. Follow these instructions to avoid
problems such as tendonitis, carpal tunnel
syndrome, or other musculoskeletal disorders:
• Take a minimum 15-minute break every
hour of game playing.
