Safety Information
About Photosensitive Seizures
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 convul-
sions 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.
Other Important Health and Safety Information
The Xbox Instruction Manual
contains important health and safety information that you should read and understand
before using this software.
Avoid Damage to Your Television
Do not use with certain televisions.
Some televisions, especially front- or rear-projec-
tion 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.
