INCLUDED WITH THIS PRODUCT BEFORE USING YOUR NINTENDO
®
HARDWARE SYSTEM,
GAME CARD OR ACCESSORY. THIS BOOKLET CONTAINS IMPORTANT HEALTH AND
SAFETY INFORMATION.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION: READ THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS BEFORE YOU OR
YOUR CHILD PLAY VIDEO GAMES.
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.
WARNING - RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE
The Nintendo DS can emit radio waves that can affect the operation of nearby electronics, including cardiac pacemakers.
• Do not operate the Nintendo DS within 9 inches of a pacemaker while using the wireless feature.
• If you have a pacemaker or other implanted medical device, do not use the wireless feature of the Nintendo DS
without first consulting your doctor or the manufacturer of your medical device.
• Observe and follow all regulations and rules regarding use of wireless devices in locations such as hospitals, airports,
and on board aircraft. Operation in those locations may interfere with or cause malfunctions of equipment, with
resulting injuries to persons or damage to property.
WARNING - BATTERY LEAKAGE
The Nintendo DS contains a rechargeable lithium ion battery pack. Leakage of ingredients contained within the battery
pack, or the combustion products of the ingredients, can cause personal injury as well as damage to your Nintendo DS.
If battery leakage occurs, avoid contact with skin. If contact occurs, immediately wash thoroughly with soap and water.
If liquid leaking from a battery pack comes into contact with your eyes, immediately flush thoroughly with water and see
a doctor.
To avoid battery leakage:
• Do not expose battery to excessive physical shock, vibration, or liquids.
• Do not disassemble, attempt to repair, or deform the battery.
• Do not dispose of battery pack in a fire.
• Do not touch the terminals of the battery or cause a short between the terminals with a metal object.
• Do not peel or damage the battery label.
WARNING - REPETITIVE MOTION INJURIES AND EYESTRAIN
Playing video games can make your muscles, joints, or skin hurt. Follow these instructions to avoid problems such as
tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, skin irritation or eyestrain:
• Avoid excessive play. Parents should monitor their children for appropriate play.
• Take a 10 to 15 minute break every hour, even if you don’t think you need it.
• When using the stylus, you do not need to grip it tightly or press it hard against the screen. Doing so may cause
fatigue or discomfort.
• If your hands, wrists, or arms become tired or sore while playing, or if you feel symptoms such as tingling, numbness,
burning or stiffness, stop and rest for several hours before playing again.
• If you continue to have any of the above symptoms or other discomfort during or after play, stop playing and see
a doctor.
