5. A very small portion of the population may experience epileptic seizures when viewing
certain kinds of flashing lights or patterns that are commonly present in our daily environment.
These persons may also experience seizures while watching some kinds of television
pictures or playing certain video games on regular monitors, including the use of a display
system such as this. These effects can be increased due to the large size of the video
screens in this device. As a result consult a physician if you have any epileptic condition
before using this device or if you experience any of the following symptoms while using this
device: altered vision, muscle twitching, other involuntary movements, loss of awareness of
your surroundings, mental confusion, and/or convulsions.
6. Immersive video, whether viewed on a regular TV, a movie theater screen or a VUZIX
video display, can potentially have adverse effects on the user, including: motion sickness,
perceptual after effects, disorientation, decreased postural stability, and eye strain. Take
frequent breaks to lessen the potential of these effects, as is commonly suggested for other
items, such as keyboards and computer monitors, that you may tend to fixate or concentrate
on. If your eyes show signs of fatigue or dryness or if any of the above symptoms are noted,
immediately discontinue use of this device and do not resume using it for at least 30 minutes
after the symptoms have fully subsided.
7. Permanent or temporary hearing loss or impairment can result from excessive volume
levels emitted from the headphones. Always adjust the volume to a safe level BEFORE
wearing the product or headphones.
