3. Close supervision is needed when this product is used by or near children.
4. Children under the age of seven (7) are still learning to focus and track with their eyes.
Their vision is still immature. For these reasons, THIS PRODUCT SHOULD NOT BE USED
BY CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF SEVEN (7).
5. A very small portion of the population may experience epileptic seizures when viewing
certain kinds of flashing lights or patterns that are commonly present in our daily
environment. These persons may also experience seizures while watching some kinds of
television pictures or playing certain video games on regular monitors, including the use of
a display system such as this. These effects can be increased due to the large size of the
video screens in this device. As a result consult a physician if you have any epileptic
condition before using this device or if you experience any of the following symptoms while
using this device: altered vision, muscle twitching, other involuntary movements, loss of
awareness of your surroundings, mental confusion, and/or convulsions.
6. Immersive video, whether viewed on a regular TV, a movie theater screen or a VUZIX
video display, can potentially have adverse effects on the user, including: motion sickness,
perceptual after effects, disorientation, decreased postural stability, and eye strain. Take
frequent breaks to lessen the potential of these effects, as is commonly suggested for other
items, such as keyboards and computer monitors, that you may tend to fixate or
concentrate on. If your eyes show signs of fatigue or dryness or if any of the above
symptoms are noted, immediately discontinue use of this device and do not resume using it
for at least 30 minutes after the symptoms have fully subsided.
7. Permanent or temporary hearing loss or impairment can result from excessive volume
levels emitted from the headphones. Always adjust the volume to a safe level BEFORE
wearing the product or headphones.
8. Always be aware of the world around you. This product will immerse you in realistic
sights and sounds, possibly causing you to forget about the real world around you and the
threats to your well being and the well being of others. DO NOT use this product near
stairs, balconies, or other things that can be tripped over, run into, knocked down or fallen
over. This product should only be used while you are seated and never while using sharp
or potentially dangerous objects, operating any form of mechanical device, driving motor
vehicles, or performing any act that normally requires you to see and/or be aware of your
surroundings.
9. This product may be tethered to a power outlet and cables may extend between
