About  Photose nsitive  S eizures

A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to
certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in
video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have
an undiagnosed condition that can cause these “photosensitive epileptic
seizures” while watching video games.

These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness,
altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs,
disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also
cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling
down or striking nearby objects.

Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these
symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above
symptoms—children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience
these seizures.

The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by sitting farther
from the television screen, using a smaller television screen, playing in a well-
lit room, and not playing when you are drowsy or fatigued.

If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a
doctor before playing.

Avoid Dam age to Your Television

Do not use with certain televisions.

Do not use with certain televisions.

Do not use with certain televisions.

Do not use with certain televisions. Some televisions, especially front- or rear-
projection types, can be damaged if any video games, including Xbox games,
are played on them. Static images presented during the normal course of game
play may “burn in” to the screen, causing a permanent shadow of the static
image to appear at all times, even when video games are not being played.
Similar damage may occur from static images created when placing a video
game on hold or pause. Consult your television owner’s manual to determine
if video games can be played safely on your set. If you are unable to find this
information in the owner’s manual, contact your television dealer or the
manufacturer to determine if video games can be played safely on your set.

Unauthorized copying, reverse engineering, transmission, public performance,
rental, pay for play, or circumvention of copy protection is strictly prohibited.
