Seizure, Blackouts and Eyestrain
A small percentage of people may be susceptible to blackouts or seizures (even if they have never had one before) when exposed to flashing lights or
light patterns such as when playing games or watching video. If you have experienced seizures or blackouts or have a family history of such occurrences,
you should consult a physician before playing video games or watching videos. Discontinue use of Force Band and your smart device controller and
consult a physician if you experience headaches, blackouts, seizures, convulsion, eye or muscle twitching, loss of awareness, involuntary movement, or
disorientation. To reduce risk of headaches, blackouts, seizures, and eyestrain, avoid prolonged use, hold your smart device controller some distance from
your eyes, use Force Band in a well-lit room, and take frequent breaks.
Repetitive Injury
When you perform repetitive activities such as playing games on your smart device controller, you may experience occasional discomfort in your hands,
arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body. Avoid excessive play. It is recommended that parents monitor their children for appropriate play. Take
frequent breaks and if you have discomfort during or after such use, stop use and see a physician.
WARNING: Choking Hazards
Force Band has small parts inside its casing, which may present a choking hazard to small children and pets. Keep Force Band and its accessories
away from small children.
Keeping Force Band Within Acceptable Temperatures
Operate and store Force Band in a place where the temperature is between 0º and 40º C (32º to 104º F). Low or high-temperature conditions might temporarily
shorten battery life or cause Force Band to temporarily stop working properly. Avoid dramatic changes in temperature or humidity when using Force Band, as
condensation may form on or within Force Band. Don’t leave Force Band in your car, because temperatures in parked cars can exceed this range. When you’re
using Force Band or charging the battery, it is normal for Force Band to get warm. The exterior of Force Band functions as a cooling surface that transfers heat
from inside the unit to the cooler air outside.
Use and Maintenance
WARNING: Force Band is not suitable for use by children under 8 years of age. Never:
Abuse, submerge in water, throw, drop, puncture, violently kick or step on Force Band. This can damage the device and compromise its safe
operation.
