SAFETY INFORMATION
This instruction manual contains important safety and health information that you should read and
understand before using this software.
EPILEPSY WARNING
Please read before using this video game or allowing your children to use it.
Some people are susceptible to epileptic seizures or loss of consciousness when exposed to
certain flashing lights or light patterns in everyday life. Such people may have a seizure while
watching images or playing certain video games. This may happen even if the person has no
medical history of epilepsy or has never had any epileptic seizures. If you or anyone in your family
has ever had symptoms related to epilepsy (seizures or loss of consciousness) when exposed to
flashing lights or patterns, consult your doctor prior to playing. We advise that parents should
monitor the use of video games by their children. If you or your child experience any of the
following symptoms: dizziness, blurred vision, eye or muscle twitches, loss of consciousness,
disorientation, any involuntary movement or convulsion, while playing a video game,
IMMEDIATELY discontinue use and consult your doctor (particularly since experience of any of
these symptoms could lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects). Parents should
ask their children about the above symptoms - children and teenagers may be more likely than
adults to experience these seizures.

PRECAUTIONS TO TAKE DURING USE

• Do not stand too close to the screen. Sit a good distance away from the monitor, as far away
as the length of the cable allows.
• Preferably play the video game on a small screen.
• Avoid playing if you are tired or have not had much sleep.
• Make sure that the room in which you playing is well lit.
• Rest for at least 10 to 15 minutes per hour while playing a video game.
[WARNING: AVOID DAMAGE TO YOUR TELEVISION]
Do not use with certain television screens and monitors. Some televisions, especially front- or
rear-projection types and plasma screens, can be damaged if any video games are played on
them. Static images or pictures presented during the normal course of playing a game (or from
putting the game on hold or pausing) may cause permanent picture-tube damage, and may "burn
in" to the screen, causing a permanent shadow of the static image to appear at all times, even
when the games are not being played. Always consult your television screen or monitor manual or
otherwise the manufacturer to check if video games can be played safely.
[Precautions]
When inserting this disc in the PC always place it with the required playback side facing down.
When handling the disc, do not touch the surface. Hold it by the edge. Keep the disc clean and
free of scratches. Should the surface become dirty, wipe it gently with a soft dry cloth. Do not
leave the disc near heat sources or in direct sunlight or excessive moisture. Do not use a cracked,
warped or irregularly shaped disc, or one that has been repaired with adhesives, as it could lead
to malfunction or damage to your PC.
