Epilepsy and on-screen images
Certain people are susceptible to epileptic fits or losing consciousness when faced with certain
types of flashing lights in our daily environment.
These people are exposed to the risk of fits if they watch certain television images or if they view
certain images while they are browsing the Web. These phenomena may appear even when the
subject has no previous history of this problem or has never suffered an epileptic fit.
If you, or a member of your family, has already suffered symptoms linked to epilepsy (fit or loss of
consciousness) in the presence of stimulation by light, please consult your doctor before using this
product.
If you or any person using the equipment experiences dizziness, involuntary movements or
convulsion, please immediately stop viewing and consult a doctor.
When you are browsing the Web or playing a Web-based game, take the following precautions:
•
Use the equipment in a well-lit room, and turn down the brightness of your
television screen.
•
Sit at a reasonable distance from the television screen.
•
Take a break for ten minutes every hour.
You should avoid using the Web if you are tired or have lost some sleep.
