Seizures/Blackouts
Some people may be susceptible to epileptic seizures or
blackouts when exposed to blinking lights, such as when
watching television or playing video games. These seizures
or blackouts may occur even if a person never had a previous
seizure or blackout.
If you have experienced seizures or blackouts, or if you have
a family history of such occurrences, please consult with your
doctor before playing video games on your phone or enabling
a blinking-lights feature on your phone. (The blinking-light
feature is not available on all products.)
Parents should monitor their children's use of video game or
other features that incorporate blinking lights on the phones.
All persons should discontinue use and consult a doctor if
any of the following symptoms occur: convulsion, eye or
muscle twitching, loss of awareness, involuntary movements,
or disorientation.
To limit the likelihood of such symptoms, please take the
following safety precautions:
• Do not play or use a blinking-lights feature if you are tired
or need sleep.
• Take a minimum of a 15-minute break hourly.
• Play in a room in which all lights are on.
• Play at the farthest distance possible from the screen.
