WARNING
A very small percentage of the public, due to an existing condition, may experience epileptic
seizures or momentary loss of consciousness when viewing certain types of ashing colors or
patterns, especially on television. While the
V-Motion
tm
does not contribute to any additional
risks, we do recommend that parents supervise their children while they play video games.
If your child experiences dizziness, altered vision, disorientation, or convulsions, discontinue
use immediately and consult your physician.
Please note that focusing on a television and LCD screen at close range and handling joystick
controls for a prolonged period of time may cause fatigue or discomfort. We recommend that
children take a 15 minute break for every hour of play.
