Important health warnings
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 undiag-
nosed condition that can cause these “photosensitive epilep-
tic 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 mo-
mentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of
consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from fall-
ing down or striking nearby objects.
Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you expe-
rience 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 television screen
•Use a smaller television 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.
About 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, shoul-
ders, neck or other parts of your body. However, if you experi-
ence symptoms such as persistent or recurring discomfort,
pain, throbbing, aching, tingling, numbness, burning sensa-
tion 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. Symp-
toms such as these can be associated with painful and some-
times permanently disabling injuries or disorders of the nerves,
muscles, tendons, blood vessels and other parts of the body.
These musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) include carpal tun-
nel 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 physi-
cal 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 com-
fortably and possibly reduce your risk of experiencing an MSD
may be found in the Healthy Gaming Guide (available at
http //www.xbox.com). These guidelines address topics such as
•Positioning yourself to use comfortable, not awkward,
postures.
•Keeping your hands, fingers 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 qualified health professional.

Selecting a Location for
the Xbox CONSOLE
Select a Safe Location
When selecting a location for the Xbox video game system,
consider the following topics and the Important Safety
Information on page 4.
Prevent the Xbox Console from Falling
If the Xbox console falls and hits someone, especially a small
child, it may cause serious injury. To reduce the risk of such
injuries and damage to the Xbox console, place the Xbox
console on a surface that
•is flat and level.
•is stable and not likely to tip over.
•allows all four feet of the Xbox console to be in
contact with the surface.
•is clean and free of dust or debris.
•is not likely to allow the Xbox console to slip or
slide off.
Take Precautions with Cables and Leads
Arrange all cables and leads 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 Xbox console is not in use, you may need to dis-
connect all cables and leads in the front and rear of the
Xbox console to prevent children from pulling on them. Do
not allow children to play with cables or leads.
Prevent the Xbox Console from
Overheating
Do not block any ventilation openings. Do not place the
Xbox console on a bed, settee or other soft surface that
may block ventilation openings.
Do not place the Xbox console in a confined space, such as
a bookcase, rack or stereo cabinet, unless the space is well
ventilated.
Do not install the Xbox console near any heat sources, such
as radiators, heating grates, stoves or other devices (includ-
ing amplifiers) that produce heat.
Avoiding Damage to Your Television or
Other AV Equipment
Do not use with certain televisions. Some televisions, espe-
cially front- or rear-projection types, may be damaged if any
video games, including Xbox games, are played on them. Static
images presented during the normal course of gameplay may
“burn” into the screen, causing a permanent shadow of the
static image to appear at all times, even when video games
are not being played. Similar damage may occur from static
images created when placing a video game on hold or pause.
Consult your television owner’s manual to determine if video
games can be played safely on your set. If you are unable to
find this information in the owner’s manual, contact your tele-
vision dealer or the manufacturer to determine if video games
can be played safely on your set.
Before connecting or disconnecting any AV device (for example,
television or VCR), make sure that the power to the Xbox
console and to the AV device is turned off. This will reduce the
risk of electrical damage to the equipment.
To avoid damage to AV equipment or to the Xbox console, do
not touch AV cable terminals or the Xbox AV port with your
fingers or allow metal parts to touch them.

with your Xbox video game system.
To connect using the SCART adapter
1. Connect the Xbox AV connector to the AV port on the
Xbox console.
2. Connect the colour-coded connectors to the corre-
sponding jack socket on the SCART adapter yellow to
yellow (video), red to red (right audio), and white to
white (left audio).
Note For monaural TVs or VCRs, connect either the
right or left audio connector to the audio jack socket.

Using xbox controllers
Connecting and Disconnecting Xbox
Controllers
To connect an Xbox Controller, insert the Xbox Controller con-
nector into any controller port on the front of the Xbox console.
To disconnect, unplug the Xbox Controller connector from the
Xbox Controller port. When disconnecting, pull on the con-
troller connector, not the cable or inline release.
Do not touch Xbox Controller lead terminals or the Xbox Con-
troller ports with your fingers or allow metal parts to touch
them. Doing so may damage the Xbox Controller or the Xbox
console.
Using the Xbox Controller in Games
For information about using the Xbox Controller with a game,
see your game manual.
Inline Release
Each Xbox Controller lead has an inline release . This is a safety
feature designed to reduce the chance of the Xbox console
falling if the lead is pulled. If the Xbox console falls and hits
someone, especially a small child, it may cause serious injury.
To reduce the risk of such injuries or of damage to the Xbox
console, it is important to properly use the Xbox Controllers
and the inline release.
Use the Xbox Controller connector, not the inline release, to
routinely connect and disconnect the Xbox Controller. If an
inline release disconnects, simply reconnect it by aligning the
grooved indentations on the two parts of the inline release and
pressing the two parts completely together. The Xbox Control-
ler will not work unless the inline release is properly connected.
WARNING! Never tape, glue or otherwise prevent an inline
release from pulling apart.
The inline release reduces, but does not eliminate, the risk of
the Xbox console being pulled off its surface. To further re-
duce the risk
•Do not allow anyone to pull on the Xbox Controllers or
controller leads in a way that causes the Xbox console
to move.
•Do not allow Xbox Controller leads to become crossed
or tangled with one another.
•Read and follow the instructions in Selecting a
Location for the Xbox Console on page 7.

warranty
If you acquired your Xbox Product in Australia, the following Limited
Warranty applies to you
PLEASE READ THIS LIMITED WARRANTY CAREFULLY TO UNDERSTAND
YOUR RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS!
LIMITED WARRANTY
NOTE: You may have rights as a consumer under applicable law(s).
This Limited Warranty does not affect those rights. See Section D –
Consumer Rights for more information regarding your rights as a
consumer.
The term "Xbox Product" means the Microsoft Xbox Video Game System
console, the Microsoft Xbox software stored on the hard disk and embed-
ded in microprocessors within the Xbox console, and Xbox compatible
hardware peripheral products manufactured by Microsoft, whether included
with the Xbox Video Game System or purchased separately.
A. WARRANTIES
THIS WARRANTY EXTENDS TO THE ORIGINAL PURCHASER ONLY
•12 Month Express Warranty. Subject to the terms and condi-
tions of this Limited Warranty, Microsoft warrants to you only (the original
purchaser), that under normal use and service, the Xbox Product will sub-
stantially conform with the accompanying printed user instruction materi-
als for a period of 12 months starting as of the date of your sales receipt
(the "Warranty Period")
•Implied Warranty. You may also have an implied warranty
and/or condition under the laws of some jurisdictions, which is hereby
limited to the duration of the Warranty Period. Some jurisdictions do not
allow limitations on how long an implied warranty or condition lasts, so
the foregoing limitation may not apply to you.
As to any defects discovered after the Warranty Period, there is no war-
ranty or condition of any kind.
B. OBTAINING WARRANTY SER ICE.
To receive instructions for obtaining repair or replacement warranty
services you must call:
Within Australia 1 800 1 48894, TTY 1 800 1 48897
You must also:
•Submit proof of purchase in the form of a dated receipt or
invoice (or a copy) evidencing that your request for service is made within
the Warranty Period.
•Follow Microsoft’s instructions if it determines that all or part
of your Xbox Product requires return for repair or replacement. Microsoft
will arrange for shipping your Xbox Product to Microsoft or its authorised
repair centres at Microsoft’s expense, or instruct you where to take the
Xbox Product in your area.
•Delete or remove any files or data you consider private or con-
fidential prior to sending the Xbox Product to Microsoft.
•Return the Xbox Product in the packaging materials provided
to you by Microsoft, using the labels and addresses provided in the return
authorisation kit.
Failure to follow the above instructions may result in delays, cause
you to incur additional charges, or may void your warranty.
C. EXCLUSI E REMEDY.
During the Warranty Period, and subject to applicable law, Microsoft will,
at its option and as your exclusive remedy for breach of this Limited War-
ranty or any implied warranties
•Repair or replace a defective Xbox Product.
•Following return of your Xbox Product, make payment to you
for the allowable damages that you incur in reasonable reliance but only
up to the amount of the purchase price that you paid for your Xbox Prod-
uct. This refund may include a deduction for depreciation based on your
actual use.
•Any replacement parts or Xbox Product will be new or refur-
bished or serviceably used, comparable in function and performance to
the original part or Xbox Product and warranted for the remainder of the
original Warranty Period or 30 days from the date of shipment of the Xbox
Product back to you, whichever is longer.
•Microsoft may, at its sole option, elect to replace the hard
disk contained in your Xbox Product even if this causes a loss of
data. YOU AGREE THAT MICROSOFT IS NOT LIABLE TO YOU FOR
ANY LOSS OF YOUR DATA.
•After the Warranty Period has expired, Microsoft may charge
you a fee for its efforts to diagnose and service any Xbox Product-related
problems.
•Microsoft will use commercially reasonable efforts to diagnose
and attempt to correct, or suggest solutions for, Xbox Product defects
that are covered by this Limited Warranty. MICROSOFT DOES NOT PRO-
IDE ANY WARRANTIES REGARDING ITS WARRANTY SER ICES AND,

PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW DISCLAIMS ALL DUTIES (IF ANY)
OF WORKMANLIKE EFFORT OR OF LACK OF NEGLIGENCE.
D. CONSUMER RIGHTS
You may have the benefits of certain rights or remedies pursuant to
the Trade Practices Act 1974 (Cth) and similar state and territory
laws in Australia in respect of which liability may not be excluded or
restricted. The provisions of this Limited Warranty are subject to,
and do not affect, these rights and remedies.
E. NO OTHER WARRANTIES.
The express warranty stated in Section A above is the only express warranty
made to you and (subject to applicable law) is provided in lieu of all other
express or implied warranties and conditions (if any) including any created
by any other documentation or packaging. No other warranties or condi-
tions are made with respect to the Xbox Product or the warranty services by
any person, including but not limited to Microsoft and its suppliers. No
information (oral or written) or suggestions made by Microsoft, its
agents or suppliers or its or their employees, shall create a warranty
or condition or expand the scope of this Limited Warranty. Also, there
is no warranty or condition of title, quiet enjoyment, or noninfringement in
the Xbox Product. You may have greater rights existing under appli-
cable laws. Where any term of this Limited Warranty is prohibited by
such laws it shall be null and void, but the remainder of the Limited
Warranty shall remain in full force and effect.
F. EXCLUSIONS FROM LIMITED WARRANTY.
This Limited Warranty shall not apply and Microsoft has no liability under
this Limited Warranty if the Xbox Product

ing, but not limited to, non-licensed games and game enhancement de-
vices, adaptors and power supply sources) or which are otherwise not

FORT); OR
(iii) INDIRECT, SPECIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES;

PLEASE READ THIS MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY CAREFULLY
MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY
You may have rights as a consumer under the Consumer Guarantees
Act (the "CGA"). This Warranty is in addition to those rights and
does not limit those rights in any way (except to the extent permit-
ted under the CGA).

for Microsoft.
MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY
Microsoft warrants that that the Xbox Product will
(i) perform substantially in accordance with the instruction manual; and
(ii) be of a standard and quality normally expected for goods of its kind.
This Warranty is effective for a period of one year from the date you
purchased the Xbox Product.
However, if you
(i) do not use the Xbox Product in accordance with the accompa-
nying documentation and use instructions; or

(vi) damage the Xbox Product by misuse, abuse, negligence or by

Product for this Warranty to be effective.
PERSONAL GUARANTEE. To the extent permitted under the CGA, this War-
ranty is made to you, the first user of the device. It is personal to you and
cannot be relied upon by anybody else (except as required under the CGA).
YOUR REMEDY.
Your remedy for breach of this Warranty is either
(i) repair of the Xbox Product; or
(ii) replacement of the Xbox Product.
Microsoft may elect which remedy to provide. Microsoft will take into
account the relative costs of the different remedies in proportion to the
cost paid for the Xbox Product and the significance of the fault with the
Xbox Product, in deciding which remedy to provide.
•Any replacement parts or Xbox Product will be new or refur-
bished or serviceably used, comparable in function and performance to
the original part or Xbox Product and this Warranty will apply to the re-
placement parts or Xbox Product for the remainder of the original War-
ranty Period.

disk contained in your Xbox Product even if this causes a loss of
data. YOU AGREE THAT MICROSOFT IS NOT LIABLE TO YOU FOR
ANY LOSS OF YOUR DATA.

you a fee for its efforts to diagnose and service any Xbox Product-related
problems.

and attempt to correct, or suggest solutions for, Xbox Product defects
that are covered by this Warranty.
