• Read all safety and operating instructions before operating BB-9E. Follow all operating instructions during use.
• Retain the safety and operating instructions for future reference.
• Do not attempt to service BB-9E yourself. Refer all non-routine servicing to Sphero.
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 BB-9E 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 BB-9E 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
BB-9E has small parts inside its casing, which may present a choking hazard to small children and pets. Keep BB-9E and its accessories away from small children.
Keeping BB-9E Within Acceptable Temperatures
Operate and store BB-9E 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 BB-9E to temporarily stop working properly. Avoid dramatic changes in temperature or humidity when using BB-9E. Don’t leave BB-9E in
your car, because temperatures in parked cars can exceed the acceptable range. When you’re using BB-9E or charging the battery, it is normal for BB-9E to get warm.
Use and Maintenance
WARNING: BB-9E is recommended for use by children 8 years of age and older.
Never:
• Abuse, submerge in water, throw, drop, puncture, violently kick or step on BB-9E. This can damage the device and compromise its safe operation.
• Operate BB-9E in dangerous, hazardous or public areas where use is not permitted (high voltage power lines, train stations, airports, trains). Check whether
use of BB-9E is permitted before using it in public areas or public transport.
Always:
• Keep BB-9E visible when operating it to avoid injuries or damages to people, animals or property.
• Ensure that no one is standing nearer than 1 yard (1 meter) from BB-9E when in operation and that you keep a safe distance between BB-9E and people,
animals and property.
• Periodically examine BB-9E for potential hazards such as cracked, damaged or otherwise broken parts. In the event of such damage, do not use BB-9E until it
can be replaced or repaired.
