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 R2-D2 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 R2-D2 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: Not suitable for children under 36 months. Small parts. Choking Hazards
R2-D2 has small parts inside its casing, which may present a choking hazard to small children and pets. R2-D2 and its accessories are not suitable for children under
36 months.
Keeping R2-D2 Within Acceptable Temperatures
Operate and store R2-D2 in an environment 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 R2-D2 to temporarily stop working properly. Avoid dramatic changes in temperature or humidity when using R2-D2. Don’t leave R2-D2 in
your car, because temperatures in parked cars can exceed the acceptable range. When you’re using R2-D2 or charging the battery, it is normal for R2-D2 to get warm.
