PoSition Your XboX

You can position your console horizontally or vertically, whichever you prefer. However, if you change your console???s orientation, make sure it is turned off with no disc in the tray. However you position your console, make sure to not block any ventilation openings or the IR receiver.

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 flat 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 confined 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 amplifiers.

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.

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, 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.

Hearing Loss

Extended exposure to high volumes when using a head- set may result in temporary or permanent hearing loss. Some unapproved third-party headsets may produce higher sound levels than approved Xbox 360 Headsets.

For Customers in the United States

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy.

If not installed and used in strict accordance with the instructions given in the printed documentation and/or on- screen help files, the device may cause harmful interference with other radio-communications devices (AM/FM radios, televisions, baby monitors, cordless phones, etc.). There is, however, no guarantee that RF interference will not occur in a particular installation.

To determine if your hardware device is causing interference to other radio-communications devices, disconnect the device from your computer or remove the device???s batteries (for a battery operated device). If the interference stops,

it was probably caused by the device. If the interference continues after you disconnect the hardware device or remove the batteries, turn the device off and then on again. If the interference stopped when the device was off, check to see if one of the input/output (I/O) devices is causing the problem. Disconnect the I/O devices one at a time and see if the interference stops.

If this hardware device does cause interference, try the following measures to correct it:

???Relocate the antenna of the other radio- communications device (AM/FM radio, television, baby monitor, cordless phone, etc.) until the interference stops.

???Move the hardware device farther away from the radio or TV, or move it to one side or the other of the radio or TV.

???Plug the device into a different power outlet so that the device and radio or TV are on different circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.

???If necessary, consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for more suggestions.

Caution

Any changes or modifications made on the system not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user???s authority to operate the equipment.

Caution

Exposure to radio frequency radiation

To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, the following operating configurations must be satisfied: The antenna has been installed by the manufacturer and no changes can be made. The wireless devices must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Except for headset and handheld devices, wireless devices must be at least 20 cm between the antenna of the wireless device and all persons.

FCC Declaration of Conformity (DoC):

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

This product is for use with NRTL-listed (UL, CSA, ETL, etc.) and/or IEC/EN 60950 compliant (CE marked) Information Technology equipment.
