Seizure, Blackouts and Eyestrain
A small percentage of people may be susceptible to blackouts or seizures (even if they have never had one before) when exposed to flashing lights or light
patterns such as when playing games or watching video. If you have experienced seizures or blackouts or have a family history of such occurrences, you
should consult a physician before playing video games or watching videos. Discontinue use of SPRK+ and your smart device controller and consult a
physician if you experience headaches, blackouts, seizures, convulsion, eye or muscle twitching, loss of awareness, involuntary movement, or
disorientation. To reduce risk of headaches, blackouts, seizures, and eyestrain, avoid prolonged use, hold your smart device controller some distance from
your eyes, use SPRK+ in a well-lit room, and take frequent breaks.
Repetitive Injury
When you perform repetitive activities such as playing games on your smart device controller, you may experience occasional discomfort in your hands,
arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body. Avoid excessive play. It is recommended that parents monitor their children for appropriate play. Take
frequent breaks and if you have discomfort during or after such use, stop use and see a physician.
WARNING: Choking Hazards
SPRK+ has small parts inside its shell, which may present a choking hazard to small children and pets. Keep SPRK+ and its accessories away from small
children.
Keeping SPRK+ Within Acceptable Temperatures
Operate and store SPRK+ in a place where the temperature is between 0º and 40º C (32º to 104º F). Low or high-temperature conditions might
temporarily shorten battery life or cause SPRK+ to temporarily stop working properly. Avoid dramatic changes in temperature or humidity when using
SPRK+, as condensation may form on or within SPRK+. Don’t leave SPRK+ in your car, because temperatures in parked cars can exceed this range. When
you’re using SPRK+ or charging the battery, it is normal for SPRK+ to get warm. The exterior of SPRK+ functions as a cooling surface that transfers heat
from inside the unit to the cooler air outside.
