Motion Warning
Playing video games may cause muscle, joint, skin, or eye discomfort. Follow these instructions to avoid problems such as tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, skin irritation, or eyestrain:
- Avoid excessive play. Take a 10- to 15-minute break every hour, even if you don't think you need it. Parents should monitor their children for appropriate play.
- If your hands, wrists, arms, or eyes 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.
Battery Warnings
- Do not attempt to repair, disassemble, or modify the battery yourself. Damage to the battery can cause overheating, fire, or injury.
- Dispose of the controller according to your local regulations, as it contains a built-in battery. Contact your local municipality if unsure.
- Do not use or leave the controller in high-temperature environments (e.g., direct sunlight, inside a hot car). High temperatures can cause the battery to overheat or ignite, and may also degrade battery performance and lifespan.
- Avoid using the controller in environments with excessive static electricity. Excessive static can damage the battery's internal safety features, increasing the risk of overheating or fire.
- If battery fluid gets into your eyes, do not rub them. Immediately rinse thoroughly with clean running water and seek medical attention.
- If the battery emits an unusual odor, becomes hot, or shows other abnormalities during use, charging, or storage, immediately remove it from the charging device. Place it in a sealed, fire-resistant container (like a metal box) or in a safe location away from people and flammable materials.
- Do not heat, incinerate, or place the controller or battery near fire.
