PLEASE CAREFULLY READ THE NINTENDO 3DS

TM

OPERATIONS MANUAL BEFORE USING YOUR

SYSTEM, GAME CARD OR ACCESSORY. THIS MANUAL CONTAINS IMPORTANT HEALTH AND SAFETY

INFORMATION.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION: READ THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS BEFORE YOU OR YOUR

CHILD PLAY VIDEO GAMES.

WARNING - 3D FEATURE ONLY FOR CHILDREN 7 AND OVER

Viewing of 3D images by children 6 and under may cause vision damage.

Use the Parental Control feature to restrict the display of 3D images for children 6 and under. See the Parental Controls section in the

Nintendo 3DS Operations Manual for more information.

WARNING - EYESTRAIN AND MOTION SICKNESS

Playing video games can result in eyestrain after a sustained period of time, and perhaps sooner if using the 3D feature. Playing video

games can also result in motion sickness in some players. Follow these instructions to help avoid eyestrain, dizziness, or nausea:

• Avoid excessive play. It is recommended that parents monitor their children for appropriate play.

• Take a 10 to 15 minute break every hour, or every half hour when using the 3D feature, even if you don’t think you need it. Each

person is different, so take more frequent and longer breaks if you feel discomfort.

• If your eyes become tired or sore while playing, or if you feel dizzy or nauseated, stop and rest for several hours before playing again.

• If you continue to have any of the above symptoms, stop playing and see a doctor.

WARNING - SEIZURES

• Some people (about 1 in 4000) may have seizures or blackouts triggered by light flashes or patterns, and this may occur while they

are watching TV or playing video games, even if they have never had a seizure before.

• Anyone who has had a seizure, loss of awareness, or other symptom linked to an epileptic condition should consult a doctor before

playing a video game.

• Parents should watch their children play video games. Stop playing and consult a doctor if you or your child has any of the following

symptoms:

Convulsions

Eye or muscle twitching

Loss of awareness

Altered vision

Involuntary movements

Disorientation

To reduce the likelihood of a seizure when playing video games:

1. Sit or stand as far from the screen as possible.

2. Play video games on the smallest available television screen.

3. Do not play if you are tired or need sleep.

4. Play in a well-lit room.

5. Take a 10 to 15 minute break every hour.
