WarnInG: Important Health Warnings about Playing Video Games
Photosensitive seizures
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed
to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may
appear in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures
or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these
"photosensitive epileptic seizures" while watching video games.
These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness,
altered vision, eye, or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs,
disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may
also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from
falling down or striking nearby objects.
Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of
these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the
above symptoms—children and teenagers are more likely than adults to
experience these seizures. The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may
be reduced by taking the following precautions:
• S it or stand farther from the TV screen.
• U se a smaller TV screen.
• P lay in a well-lit room.
• D o not play when you are drowsy or fatigued.
• I f you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy,
consult a doctor before playing.
musculoskeletal disorders
Use of game controllers, keyboards, mice, or other electronic input devices
may be linked to serious injuries or disorders.
When playing video games, as with many activities, you may experience
occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts
of your body. However, if you experience symptoms such as persistent
or recurring discomfort, pain, throbbing, aching, tingling, numbness,
burning sensation, or stiffness, DO NOT IGNORE THESE WARNING SIGNS.
PROMPTLY SEE A QUALIFIED HEALTH PROFESSIONAL, even if symptoms
occur when you are not playing a video game. Symptoms such as these can
be associated with painful and sometimes permanently disabling injuries
or disorders of the nerves, muscles, tendons, blood vessels, and other
parts of the body. These musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) include carpal
tunnel syndrome, tendinitis, tenosynovitis, vibration syndromes, and other
conditions.
While researchers are not yet able to answer many questions about MSDs,
there is general agreement that many factors may be linked to their
occurrence, including medical and physical conditions, stress and how one
copes with it, overall health, and how a person positions and uses their
body during work and other activities (including playing a video game).
Some studies suggest the amount of time a person performs an activity
may be a factor.
Some guidelines that may help you work and play more comfortably and
possibly reduce your risk of experiencing an MSD can be found in the
Healthy Gaming Guide at xbox.com/xboxone/playhealthy. These guidelines
address topics such as:
• P ositioning yourself to use comfortable, not awkward, postures.
• K eeping your hands, fingers, and other body parts relaxed.
• T aking breaks.
• D eveloping a healthy lifestyle.
If you have questions about how your own lifestyle, activities, or medical or
physical condition may be related to MSDs, see a qualified health professional.
WARNING: Choking Hazard
This device may contain small parts that may be a choking hazard to
children under 3. Keep small parts away from children.
make sure children play safely
Make sure children using any Xbox One accessory together with the Xbox
One console and Kinect sensor play safely and within their limits, and make
sure that they understand proper use of the system.
do not use unlicensed accessories or unauthorized props or other
objects with the Kinect sensor.
Use of these accessories or objects may result in injury to yourself or others
and/or in damage to the sensor or other property. Using unauthorized
accessories violates the Software License and may void your Limited Warranty.
avoid glare
To minimize eyestrain from glare, try the following:
• P osition yourself at a comfortable distance from your television or
monitor and the Kinect sensor.
• P lace your television or monitor and Kinect sensor away from light
sources that produce glare, or use window blinds to control light levels.
• C hoose soothing natural light that minimizes glare and eyestrain and
increases contrast and clarity.
• A djust your television or monitor brightness and contrast.
Prevent the console from falling
If the Xbox One falls and hits someone, especially a small child, it could
cause serious injury. To reduce the risk of such injuries and damage to the
Xbox One console, set up the Xbox One according to these instructions.
Place the console on a surface that:
• I s flat and level.
• I s stable and not likely to tip over.
• A llows all four feet of the console to be in contact with the surface.
• I s not likely to allow the console to slip or slide off.
• I s clean and free of dust and debris.
Position your Xbox one
Your console should only be used in the horizontal position to function
properly. If you need to change the location of your console, remove discs,
power down the system and remove all cables before moving the console.
Prevent the console from overheating
Do not block any ventilation openings on the console or power supply. Do
not place the console or power supply on a bed, sofa, or other soft surface
that may block openings. Do not place the console or power supply in a
confined space, such as a bookcase, rack, or stereo cabinet, unless the
space is well ventilated.
Do not place the console or power supply near any heat sources, such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or amplifiers.
Using the Xbox One in an environment where the external temperature varies
widely and quickly might damage the console. When moved to a location
with a temperature difference of 20 degrees or more from the previous
location, allow the console to come to room temperature before turning it on.
The console's operating temperature is +5ºC (41ºF) to +35ºC (+95ºF).
WARNING: Hearing Safety
Extended exposure to high sound volumes when using a headset may
result in temporary or permanent hearing loss. To reduce the risk of hearing
loss, set the volume loud enough to hear clearly in quiet surroundings,
and no louder.
• D o not increase the volume after you start listening. Your ears can
adapt over time so that high volume sounds normal, but the high
volume may still damage your hearing.
• D o not increase the volume to block out outside noise. The
combination of outside noise and sound from your headphones can
damage your hearing. Sealed or noise-canceling headphones can
reduce outside noise so that you don't have to turn up the volume.
• I f you can't understand someone nearby speaking normally, turn down
the volume. Sound that drowns out normal speech can damage your
hearing. Even with sealed or noise canceling headphones, you should
be able to hear nearby people speak.
