[. . . ] online enabled SAFETY INFORMATION ABOUT PHOTOSENSITIVE SEIZURES A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these "photosensitive epileptic seizures" while watching video games. These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects. [. . . ] The team leader is responsible for setting the rules and selecting the battle from the displayed list. The default rules for the selected battle will be displayed. To be transported to the battlefield, select Yes. Rules set by the team leader will be displayed, and each player will be positioned at one of four starting locations. 30 31 BATTLE MODE BATTLE MODE SETTING A TRAP During the battle, players can set traps in the battlefield. Each player is given a fixed number of traps (the number varies according to the selected rule) at the beginning of the battle. Traps cannot be picked up or handed off to other players. Note: Traps can only be set by android characters. To set a trap, switch to the Main Menu, select a trap from the Item list, and then select Set to set the trap where you are standing. You can also set the trap by using the Shortcut Display (see page 52). A few moments after the trap is set, it will be functional. When another player enters the area, the trap explodes, damaging or causing adverse effects to all nearby players. When a trap explodes, if there are other traps nearby, they will be induced to explode.
