Health precautions

Light may induce seizure

Screens with flashing lights or other light patterns may, in rare cases, trigger symptoms (photosensitivity reactions) such as eye discomfort, altered vision, migraine, eye or muscle twitches, or loss of awareness (such as fainting). If you have a history of these or similar symptoms, consult a physician before use.

Immediately stop using the system if you experience any problems or symptoms

Immediately stop using the system if you experience any of the above symptoms, headaches, dizziness, nausea, fatigue, sensation similar to motion sickness, or discomfort or pain in the eyes, ears, hands, arms, feet or other body part. If the condition persists, consult a doctor.

Notice on 3D images and games

The perception of 3D images varies from person to person. If you experience any discomfort or are unable to see images in 3D, refrain from using the 3D functions. The vision of young children (especially those under six years old) is still under development. Consult your pediatrician or eye doctor before allowing young children to view 3D images or play 3D games.
