Health and General information from the mobile manufacturer
Seizures/Blackouts
Some people may be susceptible to epileptic seizures
or blackouts when exposed to lashing 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 with 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
game 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.
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.
> If your hands, wrists, or arms become tired or sore
while playing, stop and rest for several hours before
playing again.
> If you continue to have sore hands, wrists, or arms
during or after play, stop playing and see a doctor.
