WARNING: READ BEFORE PLAYING
A very small percentage of individuals may experience epileptic seizures when exposed to certain light patterns or flashing lights. Exposure to certain patterns or while playing video games, may induce an epileptic seizure in these individuals. Certain conditions may induce previously undetected epileptic symptoms even in persons who have no history for prior seizures of epilepsy. If you, or anyone in your family, have an epileptic condition, consult your physician prior to playing. If you experience any of the following symptoms while playing a video game – dizziness, altered vision, eye or muscle twitches, loss of awareness, disorientation, any involuntary movement, or convulsions – IMMEDIATELY discontinue use and consult with your physician before resuming play.

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 WARNING

Do not attempt to repair the Li-ion battery yourself—you may damage the battery, which could cause overheating, fire, and injury.
The Li-ion battery in your device should be serviced or recycled by PowerA or an authorized provider and must be recycled or disposed of separately from household waste.
Dispose of batteries according to your local environmental laws and guidelines.

Do not use or leave the product containing rechargeable batteries exposed to very high or very low temperature (e.g. at strong direct sunlight or in a vehicle in extremely hot or extremely cold weather), or in an environment with extremely low air pressure can result in an explosion, fire, or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas.
Do not use a device containing rechargeable batteries in an environment with high levels of static electricity. Excessive static electricity can impair the batteries’ internal safety measures, increasing the risk of overheating or fire.
If liquid leaking from a battery pack comes into contact with your eyes, DO NOT RUB EYES! Immediately flush eyes thoroughly with clean running water and seek medical attention to prevent injury to eyes.

If the battery gives off an odor, generates heat, or in any way appears abnormal during use, recharging or storage, immediately remove it from any charging device and place it in a sealed fire-proof container such as a metal box, or in a safe location away from people and flammable items.
