english

Improper use of batteries may result in

battery uid leakage, overheating, or explosion. Risk of re if batteries are

replaced by an incorrect type. 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 or fully charged Nickel

Metal Hydride (NiMH) rechargeable batteries, type AA (LR6).Insert batteries according to the following instructions (see “Insert Batteries”).

NOTE

The Xbox 360 Wireless Microphone does not recharge rechargeable batteries. You must charge them in an appropriate charging

device.

• Do not mix new and old batteries.

• Remove the batteries if they are worn

out or before storing your Xbox 360 Wireless Microphone 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).

• Do not short-circuit power supply

terminals on batteries.

• Do not attempt to recharge non-

rechargeable batteries.

Insert batteries according to the instructions

(see “Insert or Remove Batteries”).

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.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If you encounter problems, try the possible solutions provided below.

The Wireless Microphone Does Not Work

The Xbox 360 Wireless Microphone automatically connects and communicates with your console when you press the microphone’s power button. If your console is turned on and you do not get any response from the microphone:

• Make sure that the microphone’s batteries are fresh, AA (LR6) batteries and are installed

correctly.

• If you can’t hear anything at all, make sure your sound system is turned on and turned up to a moderate level.

• If nothing else works, manually turn off your console, remove the batteries from the

microphone, and check the button to be sure it is not stuck. Then reinsert the batteries into

the microphone and repeat the steps given in “Connect Your Xbox 360 Wireless Microphone.”

The Wireless Microphone Is Experiencing Feedback

Feedback occurs when the microphone picks up too much audio from your sound system. Here are some things you can try:

• Turn down the volume of your sound system.

• Move the microphone farther away from the sound system speakers.

• Hold the microphone so that it points away from the speakers.

Sound Quality Is Poor or Distorted

• Hold the microphone about 1–8 centimeters (0.5–3 inches) from your mouth.

• Make sure that you have fresh batteries in the wireless microphone.

• If you are using NiMH rechargeable batteries, make sure they are fully charged.

• Make sure that you’re using the microphone within the 10-meter range of the console.

• Make sure there as few obstructions as possible between the microphone and the console—

including people.

• Remove nearby sources of RF interference, such as cordless phones, microwave ovens, CD

players, and computers.

DO NOT ATTEmpT REpAiRs

Do not attempt to take apart, service, or modify the Xbox 360 console, power supply, or

its accessories in any way. Doing so could present the risk of serious injury or death from

electric shock or re, and it will void your warranty.
