even if a person never had a previous seizure or blackout.
If you have experienced seizures or blackouts, or if you have a

before playing video games on your phone or enabling a blinking-

lights feature on your phone. (The blinking-light feature is not

awareness, involuntary movements, or disorientation.
To limit the likelihood of such symptoms, please take the following 

safety precautions:

need sleep.

• Take a minimum of a 15-minute break hourly.
• Play in a room in which all lights are on.
• Play at the farthest distance possible from the screen.

When you play games on your phone, you may experience 

occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or 

other parts of your body. Follow these instructions to avoid 

problems such as tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, or other 

musculoskeletal disorders:

• Take a minimum 15-minute break every hour of game playing.
• If your hands, wrists, or arms become tired or sore while 

playing, stop and rest for several hours before playing again.

• If you continue to have sore hands, wrists, or arms during or 

after play, stop playing and see a doctor.
