Before you can use your Xbox 360
Wireless Headset with your Xbox
360 console, you need to:
1Charge its battery.
2Introduce the headset to the
console by wirelessly connecting
the two.
3Put it on.
Charge the Headset
Charge your Xbox 360 Wireless
Headset before rst use and
whenever its built-in battery is
depleted. To charge or recharge the
headset, connect one end of the
headset charging cable to a USB port
on your Xbox 360 console and the
other end to the headset’s power
input. Turn on your console while
charging your headset.
While the headset is charging, the
four lights on the headset will ash
green in sequence (1, 2, 3, 4, off).
When charging is complete, all four
lights will blink in unison to signify
that the headset is ready for use.
NOTES
• Fully charging the battery can
take up to six hours using the
headset charging cable.
• If your headset is wirelessly
connected to a console,
connecting it to the headset
charging cable will disconnect it
from the console.
• The headset is not functional
when it is connected to the
headset charging cable.
• If the headset is unused for a long
period of time, its battery may
lose its charge. If this occurs,
simply recharge the headset
normally.
• The headset may become warm
while charging.

Connect Your Headset
Connect the headset to your console
by rst pressing the connect button
on the console and then pressing and
holding the connect button on the
headset for two or more seconds. You
have a 20-second window in which to
establish the connection.
To connect your wireless headset to
your console:

the power button to turn on
the console.
2If your headset is not on, press the
headset’s power button to turn on
the headset.
3Press and release the connect
button on the console.
4Press and hold the connect button
on the headset for one or more
seconds. The headset will
automatically be assigned to the
rst available quadrant in the
console’s Ring of Light.
If a controller is connected to
quadrant 1, the system will
associate the headset with
quadrant 1. If another wireless
headset is already associated with
quadrant 1, your headset will be
associated with quadrant 2.

5After the Ring of Light on the
console spins and ashes once,
the headset is connected. The
quadrant that remains lit indicates
the headset’s position. The
corresponding light on the
headset conrms the quadrant.
6If you want to associate the
headset with a controller on a
different quadrant, press the
headset’s connect button to
manually advance the quadrant to
match the quadrant of your
desired controller.
For example, to associate the
headset with a controller
connected to quadrant 3, press
the connect button three times
within 20 seconds of initiating the
connection process. The headset
will emit a single beep as you
select the rst quadrant, two
beeps as you select the second
quadrant, and three as you select
the third.
NOTES
• To use the headset you must be
signed in with a gamer prole. The
rst time you use the headset, you
must connect to Xbox Live. For
information on Xbox Live, visit
www.xbox.com/live.
• You can connect up to four
wireless headsets to a console at
any one time. Each connected
headset is assigned to a quadrant
on the Ring of Light.
• Before you can connect a wireless
headset, at least one quadrant
must be free (unlit). To disconnect
a wireless controller, press and
hold the Xbox Guide button for
three seconds, and then turn the
controller off. To disconnect a
wired controller, unplug its cable
from the console.

• If you plan to connect multiple
controllers and multiple wireless
headsets, connect a wireless
headset rst, alternating between
each headset and its intended
controller.
• A controller is not required for the
headset to work with the console.
If you’re not using a controller, the
headset will occupy its own
quadrant on the Ring of Light. If
you have a friends list, you can
open a chat window or send a
voice message using the wireless
headset and either the Xbox 360
Media Remote or the Xbox 360
Universal Media Remote.
• An Xbox 360 Headset (wired)
takes precedence over a wireless
headset. A wireless headset
cannot be associated with a
controller that is connected to a
wired headset. To use a wireless
headset instead, disconnect the
wired headset and then repeat
the wireless connection steps.
• When you turn off your console,
connected wireless headsets will
remain on for ve minutes. (You
may turn them off individually
using their power buttons.) They
will still be connected the next
time you turn on the console.
• Your headset is connected to only
one console at a time. You can
connect to a new console at any
time, but your connection to the
previously connected console will
be lost.
• The Xbox 360 Wireless Headset
only works within 9 metres (30
feet) of the console. Objects
between the controller and the
console can reduce this range.
• The internal lithium polymer
battery is not replaceable.
Put on Your Headset
1Choose a headset earloop. If the
earloop does not t comfortably,
try the other earloop.

Hearing Loss
Extended exposure to high
volumes when using a headset
may result in temporary or
permanent hearing loss.

The headset emits the following
low-power warnings:
• 2 audible tones: about 30
minutes of battery life remaining.
• 3 audible tones: about 5 minutes
of battery life remaining.

You Hear Echo Or Noise
The microphone may pick up
ambient noises, including voice
sound from the headset earpiece. If
this happens on the headset of
someone you’re playing with, you
will hear your own voice echoed
back to you through your own
earpiece, just as other players will
hear their voices echoed back to
them through your microphone.
If you or other players experience
earpiece echo or noise, each of you
should:
• Lower the volume of your TV or

mute or unmute the headset).
Make sure your console’s Family
Settings for Xbox Live allow
communication with other gamers.
Battery Doesn’t Charge

battery fails to charge, the headset’s
rst two lights will ash in sequence
(1, 1 and 2; 1, 1 and 2; etc.) to signal
an error condition.
If this occurs, the headset may be
too hot or too cold. Leave the
headset connected to the power
adapter long enough for its
temperature to settle, at which point
the battery should charge normally.
If the error condition persists and the
headset appears to be at room
temperature, call Xbox Customer
Support (see “If You Need More Help”).
