games can "burn" into some TV screens, creating a
permanent shadow. Consult your TV owner's manual of
manufacturer before playing games.
PLAY SPACE
WARNING: Gameplay with your Kinect sensor
may require varying amounts of movement. To
reduce the risk of injury or property damage, take the
following precautions before playing:
• Make sure you have enough space to move freely.
• Look in all directions (right, left, forward, backward,
down, and up). Make sure there is nothing you might
trip on—toys, furniture, or loose rugs, for example.
• Make sure your play space is far enough away from
windows, walls, stairs, etc.
• Be aware of children and pets in the area. If necessary,
move objects or people out of the play space.
While playing:
• Stay far enough away from your TV to avoid contact.
• Keep enough distance from other players, bystanders,
and pets. This distance may vary between games,
so take account of how you are playing when
determining how far away you need to be.
• Stay alert for objects or people you might hit or trip
over. People and objects can move into the area
during play, so always be alert to your surroundings.
• Make sure you always have good footing while
playing:
• Play on a level floor with enough traction for game
activities.
• Make sure to use proper footwear for gaming or are
barefoot, if appropriate. Do not wear high-heels,
flip-flops, etc.
Don't overexert yourself
Gameplay with the Kinect sensor may require varying
amounts of physical activity.
Consult a doctor before using the sensor if you have any
medical condition or issue that affects your ability to
safely perform physical activities, or if you:
• are or may be pregnant,
• have heart, respiratory, back, joint, or other orthopedic
conditions,
• have high blood pressure,
• have difficulty with physical exercise, or
• have been instructed to restrict physical activity.
Consult your doctor before beginning any exercise routine or
fitness regimen that includes using the Kinect sensor.
Do not play under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and
make sure your balance and physical abilities are sufficient
for any movements while gaming.
Take breaks periodically

Stop and rest if your muscles, joints, or eyes become tired
or sore.
If you experience excessive fatigue, nausea, shortness of
breath, chest tightness, dizziness, discomfort, or pain, STOP
USING IMMEDIATELY and consult a doctor.

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:
• Sit or stand farther from the TV screen.
• Use a smaller TV screen.
• Play in a well-lit room.
• Do not play when you are drowsy or fatigued.
• If 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.
