• Ensure that the computer’s ventilation slots and openings are never
obstructed or covered. Do not place the computer on a soft surface
(such as a carpet, chair or bed) that may block ventilation slots.
• Do not push objects of any kind into ventilation or case slots as they
may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that may result in
a fire or electric shock.
• Some disorders of the hands, wrists, arms, neck, shoulders, legs and
back may be associated with, or aggravated by certain repetitive
actions. To reduce your risk of developing these disorders, type with
your wrists straight and your hands and wrists floating above the
keyboard. If you experience periods of pain, tingling, numbness or other
discomfort, please contact your doctor.
• We advise that parents monitor the use of games by their children. If you
or your child experience any of the following symptoms: dizziness,
blurred vision, eye or muscle twitches, loss of consciousness,
disorientation, any involuntary movement or convulsion, IMMEDIATELY
discontinue use and consult your doctor. This may happen even if the
person has no medical history of epilepsy.
