UPDATE YOUR CONSOLE
Before you connect Chatpad to your
controller, make sure your Xbox 360
console is up to date by connecting
to Xbox LIVE. For more information
about connecting to Xbox LIVE, see
your Xbox 360 Setup manual
(Volume 1).
CONNECT CHATPAD TO A
CONTROLLER
Once you’ve connected your console to
Xbox LIVE and completed any system
updates, you’re ready to connect
Chatpad to a controller.
1 Turn over both your controller and
your Chatpad so the bottoms face up.
2 Align the Chatpad connector plug
with the controller’s expansion
port. Align the two posts on the
Chatpad with the holes on the
controller.
3 Gently but rmly push the Chatpad
onto the controller with even
pressure until they snap together.
NOTE
If your console is not connected to the
Internet or if you are not a subscriber
to Xbox LIVE, you can download the
Chatpad update to your PC, burn it to a
CD, and install it on your console. For
more info, go to
www.xbox.com/update.
You may need to use rm pressure to
fully seat the Chatpad onto the
controller. A fully-seated Chatpad will
have no gaps between it and the edges
of the controller.
Once Chatpad is connected to a
powered controller, it is ready to use.

Connect a Headset
The 2.5-mm audio jack on Chatpad
lets you connect headsets such as the
revised Xbox 360 Headset with inline
volume control or a mobile phone
headset. Xbox 360 Chatpad does not
work with the original Xbox 360
Headset with volume controls on the
cable connector. For more
information, see the instruction
manual for your headset.
To connect a headset, plug the
headset’s connector into the 2.5-mm
connector jack on Chatpad.
!
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.
USING CHATPAD

As with a standard PC keyboard,
Chatpad characters are lower case

In addition to standard keys like
those for numbers, space, and
backspace, Chatpad provides two
“modier” keys other than SHIFT:
AMBER and GREEN. These keys
toggle between standard key values
(white characters) and special
characters (amber or green colored
characters printed on the keys).
Also featured on the Chatpad is the
Windows Live Messenger button.
Press this button to access instant
messaging. The Windows Live
Messenger button also lights up
whenever you receive an instant
message.
For information about using Chatpad
with a particular game, see your
game manual.
Special Characters
When you press the SHIFT, AMBER,
or GREEN key once, the subsequent
key press will produce a character in
your selected mode (upper-case or
special). The second and following
key presses will be in the normal
(lower-case) mode.
To enter caps lock mode, press the
AMBER key and then press the SHIFT
(CAPS) key. Press this key
combination again to return to
normal mode.
The SHIFT, AMBER, and GREEN keys
illuminate to signify that the keypad
is in a particular mode.
To add a diacritic (accent mark) to a
letter, press the key combination for
the diacritic, then press the letter to
apply the diacritical mark to. For
example, to enter ü on an English
chatpad, press the GREEN key, the G
key (the umlaut character is printed in
green on this key), and then the U key.
Backlight
Chatpad’s white backlight enables
use in dark rooms. Pressing any key
on the Chatpad will activate the
backlight, which will stay on for
several seconds after each press.
