Battery Warning and Safety Precautions
Follow all safety precautions and battery warnings provided in the manual.

• Do not attempt to repair the Li-ion battery yourself—you may damage the battery, which could cause overheating, fire, and injury.
• The Li-ion battery in your device should be serviced or recycled by PowerA or an authorized provider and must be recycled or disposed of separately from household waste.
• Dispose of batteries according to your local environmental laws and guidelines.
• Do not use or leave a device containing rechargeable batteries in a high-temperature environment (e.g., in strong direct sunlight, or in a vehicle in hot weather). High temperatures may cause batteries to overheat or catch fire, and the battery performance or longevity may be negatively affected.
• Do not use a device containing rechargeable batteries in an environment with high levels of static electricity. Excessive static electricity can impair the batteries’ internal safety measures, increasing the risk of overheating or fire.
• If liquid leaking from a battery pack comes into contact with your eyes, DO NOT RUB EYES! Immediately flush eyes thoroughly with clean running water and seek medical attention to prevent injury to eyes.
• If the battery gives off an odor, generates heat, or in any way appears abnormal during use, recharging or storage, immediately remove it from any charging device and place it in a sealed fireproof container such as a metal box, or in a safe location away from people and flammable items.
• Discarded batteries may cause fire. Do not heat the controller or battery, or place either in or near fire.

MOTION WARNING
Playing video games can make your muscles, joints, skin or eyes hurt. Follow these instructions to avoid problems such as tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, skin irritation or eyestrain:

• Avoid excessive play. Take a 10- to 15-minute break every hour, even if you don’t think you need it. Parents should monitor their children for appropriate play.
• If your hands, wrists, arms or eyes become tired or sore while playing, or if you feel symptoms such as tingling, numbness, burning or stiffness, stop and rest for several hours before playing again.
• If you continue to have any of the above symptoms or other discomfort during or after play, stop playing and see a doctor.
