Prevent the Console from
Falling
If the Xbox 360 console falls and hits
someone, especially a small child, it
could cause serious injury. To reduce the
risk of such injuries and damage to the
Xbox 360 console, set up the console
according to these instructions. Place the
console on a surface that:
• Is at and level.
• Is stable and not likely to tip over.
• Allows all feet of the console to be in
contact with the surface.
• Is not likely to allow the console to
slip or slide off.
• Is clean and free of dust and debris.
If the surface or console feet become
dirty or dusty, clean them with a dry
cloth. If the console is positioned
vertically, put it on a surface where it is
not likely to fall if it tips over.
Arrange all cables and cords so that
people and pets are not likely to trip
over or accidentally pull on them as they
move around or walk through the area.
When the console is not in use, you may
need to disconnect all cables and cords
from the front and rear of the console to
keep them out of the reach of children
and pets. Do not allow children to play
with cables and cords.
Prevent the Console from
Overheating
Do not block any ventilation openings on
the console or power supply. Do not place
the console or power supply on a carpet,
bed, sofa, or other soft surface that may
block ventilation openings. Do not place
the console or power supply in a conned
space, such as a bookcase, rack, or stereo
cabinet, unless the space is well ventilated.
Don’t stack any items, including other AV
equipment, on top of the console.
Do not place the console or power supply
near any heat sources, such as radiators,
heat registers, stoves, or ampliers.
Avoid Smoke and Dust
Do not use the console in smoky or dusty
locations. Smoke and dust can damage
the console, particularly the disc drives.

Electrical Safety
As with many other electrical devices,
failure to take the following precautions
can result in serious injury or death from
electric shock or re or damage to the
Xbox 360 console.
Select an appropriate power source for
your Xbox 360 console:
• Use only the power supply unit and AC
power cord that came with your
console or that you received from an
authorized repair center or Xbox
Customer Support. If you are not sure if
you have the correct power supply unit,
compare the model number on the
power supply unit with the model
number specied on your console. If
you need a replacement power supply
unit or AC power cord, you can nd
Xbox Customer Support contact
information at www.xbox.com/support.
• Conrm that your electrical outlet
provides the type of power indicated
on the power supply unit (in terms of
voltage [V] and frequency [Hz]). If you
are not sure of the type of power
supplied to your home, consult a
qualied electrician.
• Do not use non-standard power
sources, such as generators or inverters,
even if the voltage and frequency
appear acceptable. Use only AC power
provided by a standard wall outlet.
• Do not overload your wall outlet,
extension cord, power strip, or other
electrical receptacle. Conrm that
they are rated to handle the total
current (in amps [A]) drawn by the
Xbox 360 console (indicated on the
power supply unit) and any other
devices that are on the same circuit.
• Do not connect any other devices
between the power supply unit and
the Xbox 360 console or between the
power cord and the power supply unit.
To avoid damaging the power cords and
power supply:
• Protect the power cords from being
walked on.
• Protect cords from being pinched or
sharply bent, particularly where they
connect to the power outlet, the
power supply unit, and the console.
• Do not jerk, knot, sharply bend, or
otherwise abuse the power cords.
• Do not expose the power cords to
sources of heat.
• Do not wrap power cords around the
power supply unit.
• Keep children and pets away from the
power cords. Do not allow them to
bite or chew on them.
• When disconnecting the power cords,
pull on the plug—do not pull on the
cord.
• Do not let the power supply unit
hang from either power cord.
If a power cord or power supply unit
becomes damaged in any way, stop
using it immediately. Visit

type of batteries. Released battery  uid is
corrosive and may be toxic. It can cause
skin and eye burns, and is harmful if
swallowed. To reduce the risk of injury:
• Keep batteries out of reach of children.
• Do not heat, open, puncture, mutilate,
or dispose of batteries in  re.
• Use only alkaline (not rechargeable)
batteries, type AA for best performance.
• Do not mix new and old batteries or
batteries of different types.
• Do not allow metal objects to touch
the battery terminals on the device;
they can become hot and cause burns.
• Remove the batteries if they are worn
out or before storing your controller
for an extended period of time.
• If a battery leaks, remove all batteries,
taking care to keep the leaked  uid
from touching your skin or clothes. If
 uid from the battery comes into
contact with skin or clothes,  ush skin
with water immediately. Before
inserting new batteries, thoroughly
clean the battery compartment with a
damp paper towel, or follow the
battery manufacturer’s
recommendations for cleanup.
• Dispose of batteries in accordance
with local and national disposal
regulations (if any).

IMPORTANT HEALTH WARNINGS ABOUT PLAYING VIDEO GAMES
Photosensitive Seizures
A very small percentage of people may
experience a seizure when exposed to
certain visual images, including ashing
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.
Immediately stop playing and consult a
doctor if you experience any of these
symptoms. Parents should watch for or
ask their children about the above
symptoms—children and teenagers are
more likely than adults to experience
these seizures. The risk of photosensitive
epileptic seizures may be reduced by
taking the following precautions:
• Sit farther from the TV screen.
• Use a smaller TV screen.
• Play in a well-lit room.
• Do not play when you are drowsy or
fatigued.
If you or any of your relatives have a
history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a
doctor before playing.
Musculoskeletal Disorders
Use of game controllers, keyboards, mice,
or other electronic input devices may be
linked to serious injuries or disorders.
When playing video games, as with many
activities, you may experience occasional
discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders,
neck, or other parts of your body.
However, if you experience symptoms
such as persistent or recurring discomfort,
pain, throbbing, aching, tingling,
numbness, burning sensation, or stiffness,
DO NOT IGNORE THESE WARNING
SIGNS. PROMPTLY SEE A QUALIFIED
HEALTH PROFESSIONAL, even if
symptoms occur when you are not
playing a video game. Symptoms such as
these can be associated with painful and
sometimes permanently disabling injuries
or disorders of the nerves, muscles,
tendons, blood vessels, and other parts of
the body. These musculoskeletal disorders
(MSDs) include carpal tunnel syndrome,
tendonitis, tenosynovitis, vibration
syndromes, and other conditions.
While researchers are not yet able to
answer many questions about MSDs,
there is general agreement that many
factors may be linked to their occurrence,
including medical and physical conditions,
stress and how one copes with it, overall
health, and how a person positions and
uses their body during work and other
activities (including playing a video
game). Some studies suggest that the
amount of time a person performs an
activity may also be a factor.
Some guidelines that may help you work
and play more comfortably and possibly
reduce your risk of experiencing an MSD
can be found in the Healthy Gaming
Guide at www.xbox.com. These
guidelines address topics such as:
• Positioning yourself to use
comfortable, not awkward, postures.
• Keeping your hands, ngers, and
other body parts relaxed.
• Taking breaks.
• Developing a healthy lifestyle.
If you have questions about how your
own lifestyle, activities, or medical or
physical condition may be related to
MSDs, see a qualied health professional.
Hearing Loss
Extended exposure to high volumes
when using a headset may result in
temporary or permanent hearing loss.
Some unapproved third-party headsets
may produce higher sound levels than
approved Xbox 360 Headsets.
