Seizures/Blackouts
Some people may be susceptible to epileptic seizures or blackouts when exposed to
flashing lights, such as when playing videos or games. These may occur even if a
person has 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 with your physician before pl aying videos or games or
enabling a flashing-lights feature (if available) on your mobile device.
Discontinue use and consult a physician if any of the fol lowing symptoms occur:
convulsion, eye or muscle twitching, loss of awareness, i nvoluntary movements, or
disorientation. It is always a good idea to hold the scr een away from your eyes,
leave the lights on in the room, take a 15-minute break every hou r, and stop use if
you are tired.
Caution About High Volume Usage
Warning:
Exposure to loud noise from any source for extended
periods of time may affect your hearing. The louder t he volume sound
level, the less time is required before your hearing cou ld be affected.
To protect your hearing:
•
Limit the amount of time you use headsets or headphones at high vol ume.
•
Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
•
Turn the volume down if you can’t hear people speaking near you.
If you experience hearing discomfort, including t he sensation of pressure or fullness
in your ears, ringing in your ears, or muf fled speech, you should stop listening to the
device through your headset or headphones and have your hearing checked.

Repetitive Motion
When you repetitively perform actions such as pressing keys or entering
finger-written characters, you may experience occasional disc omfort in your hands,
arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body. If you continue to have discomfort
during or after such use, stop use and see a physician.
