HEALTH WARNING
Take a break of around 10-15 minutes for every hour you play, even if
you feel that you don't need it. Playing video games also carries the
risk of such conditions as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, tendonitis and
skin irritation. If your hands, wrists or arms become tired or sore while
playing, stop and rest for a few hours. If symptoms continue during or
after play, stop and consult a doctor as soon as possible.
To avoid eyestrain, use your Gizmondo™ device in reasonably lit areas,
and hold your console at a reasonable distance from your eyes. We also
advise against playing when overly tired or suffering from a lack of sleep.
Please note that playing video games or watching movies can lead to
motion sickness, so if you experience any nausea or dizziness while
playing, stop and take a rest. Do not drive, operate heavy machinery
or engage in any similar mentally demanding activity until you are fully
recovered.
IMPORTANT
Playing video games or watching movies causes a very small number
of people to experience 'photosensitive epileptic seizures', the result of
flashing lights or patterns present in many games. You may even be at
| LOCATION SERVICES | ALERTS | ACTIVE SYNC
risk even if you have never suffered symptoms before. If you or a close
relative have a di-agnosed epileptic condition, consult your doctor before
play-ing video games or watching movies. Similarly, if you experience
any symptoms of epilepsy while playing, you should stop IMMEDIATELY
and visit a doctor as soon as possible. Symptoms include any of
the following: dizziness, altered vision, twitching in the eyes or face,
other involuntary movement, loss of awareness of your surroundings,
disorientation and convulsions.
NOTICE TO PARENTS
Please go over this information with your children before they begin to
use their Gizmondo™ devices. Make sure they are properly supervised
when they are using their Gizmondo™ devices. Ensure they notify you
if they feel symptoms described in the Health Warning notice of this
document and take necessary action as outlined above.
The Gizmondo™ device is not designed and is not suitable for those
under 15.
PIRACY NOTICE
We take piracy seriously: It damages legitimate developers, publishers
and retailers alike. Furthermore, any unauthorized reproduction of all
or any game part of the Gizmondo™ device or unaut-horised use of
registered trademarks is likely to constitute a criminal offence. If you
suspect any game product is an unauthorised copy, or you have any
information about pirated Gizmondo™ device products, please get in
