OPERATIONS MANUAL BEFORE USING YOUR
SYSTEM, GAME CARD OR ACCESSORY. THIS MANUAL CONTAINS IMPORTANT HEALTH AND SAFETY
INFORMATION.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION: READ THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS BEFORE YOU OR YOUR
CHILD PLAY VIDEO GAMES.
WARNING - 3D FEATURE ONLY FOR CHILDREN 7 AND OVER
Viewing of 3D images by children 6 and under may cause vision damage.
Use the Parental Control feature to restrict the display of 3D images for children 6 and under. See the Parental Controls section in the
Nintendo 3DS Operations Manual for more information.
WARNING - EYESTRAIN AND MOTION SICKNESS
Playing video games can result in eyestrain after a sustained period of time, and perhaps sooner if using the 3D feature. Playing video
games can also result in motion sickness in some players. Follow these instructions to help avoid eyestrain, dizziness, or nausea:
• Avoid excessive play. It is recommended that parents monitor their children for appropriate play.
• Take a 10 to 15 minute break every hour, or every half hour when using the 3D feature, even if you don’t think you need it. Each
person is different, so take more frequent and longer breaks if you feel discomfort.
• If your eyes become tired or sore while playing, or if you feel dizzy or nauseated, stop and rest for several hours before playing again.
• If you continue to have any of the above symptoms, stop playing and see a doctor.
WARNING - SEIZURES
• Some people (about 1 in 4000) may have seizures or blackouts triggered by light flashes or patterns, and this may occur while they
are watching TV or playing video games, even if they have never had a seizure before.
• Anyone who has had a seizure, loss of awareness, or other symptom linked to an epileptic condition should consult a doctor before
playing a video game.
• Parents should watch their children play video games. Stop playing and consult a doctor if you or your child has any of the following
symptoms:
Convulsions
Eye or muscle twitching
Loss of awareness
Altered vision
Involuntary movements
Disorientation
To reduce the likelihood of a seizure when playing video games:
1. Sit or stand as far from the screen as possible.
2. Play video games on the smallest available television screen.
3. Do not play if you are tired or need sleep.
4. Play in a well-lit room.
5. Take a 10 to 15 minute break every hour.
