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 games or watching videos. Discontinue use of
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 BOLT+ in a well-lit room, and
take frequent breaks.
