USE AND CARE OF YOUR XBOX ONE CONSOLE

WARNING: Do Not Attempt Repairs

Do not attempt to take apart, open, service, or modify the product, accessories, or power supply. Doing so could present the risk of
electric shock, fire or other hazard, or damage to your Xbox One. Any evidence of any attempt to open and/or modify this device,
including any peeling, puncturing, or removal of any of the labels, will void the Limited Warranty and render the Xbox One ineligible
for authorized repair. Modifying your console can result in a permanent ban from Xbox Live, which is required for game play and
some other console uses.

Usage and Cleaning

Use in accordance with these instructions:

 Do not use near any heat sources.
 Only use attachments/accessories specified by Microsoft.
 Use alkaline (not rechargeable) batteries for best performance.
 Disconnect the console power supply from electrical power to prevent the console from being turned on and off or the disc tray

from being ejected during cleaning.

 Clean the outside of the Xbox One only. Make sure that no objects are inserted into ventilation openings.
 Use a dry cloth—do not use abrasive pads, detergents, scouring powders, solvents (for example, alcohol, gasoline, paint thinner, or

benzene), or other liquid or aerosol cleaners.

 Do not use compressed air.
 Do not use DVD head cleaner devices.
 Do not attempt to clean connectors.
 Clean the console feet and the surface on which the Xbox One rests with a dry cloth.
 Clean the surface on which the sensor rests with a dry cloth.
 Do not allow the console or sensor to become wet. To reduce the risk of fire or shock, do not expose the console or sensor to rain

or other types of moisture.

Avoid Smoke and Dust

Do not use the console in smoky or dusty locations. Smoke and dust can damage the console, particularly the DVD drive.

Disc Use

Make sure the disc is held in place by the tabs on the disc tray so that it doesn’t fall out.
To avoid jamming the disc drive and damaging discs or the console:

 Remove discs before moving the console or tilting it between the horizontal and vertical positions.
 Never use cracked discs. They can shatter inside the console and jam or break internal parts.
 When the console is vertical, do not use discs that are smaller than standard DVDs and CDs.

Always return discs to their storage containers when they are not in the disc drive. Do not store discs in direct sunlight, near a heat
source, or on your Xbox One. Always handle discs by their edges. To clean Xbox One game discs, DVDs or audio CDs:

 Hold discs by the edges; do not touch the disc surface with your fingers.
 Clean discs using a soft cloth, lightly wiping from the center outward.
 Do not use solvents; they can damage the disc. Do not use disc-cleaning devices.

Metallic Objects and Stickers

Do not place metallic items or stickers near or on the Xbox One, as they can interfere with controller, networking, and eject and
power buttons.

Adhesive Mounting

Some devices use adhesive tape to mount components in your workspace. DO NOT mount on antiques, heirlooms, or other valuable
or irreplaceable items. After mounting, removing the adhesive may damage the cosmetic coating and/or leave an adhesive residue.

Important

Stationary images in video games can “burn” into some TV screens, creating a permanent shadow. Consult your TV owner’s manual
of manufacturer before playing games. Do not connect the console through a VCR. Video signals fed through VCRs may be affected
by copyright protection systems and the picture will be distorted on the TV.

PLAY SPACE

Make sure you have enough space to move freely

Gameplay with your Kinect sensor may require varying amounts of movement. Before playing:

 Look in all directions (right, left, forward, backward, down, and up) for things you might hit or trip on.
 Make sure your play space is far enough away from windows, walls, stairs, etc.
 Make sure there is nothing you might trip on—toys, furniture, or loose rugs, for example. Also, be aware of children and pets in

the area. If necessary, move objects or people out of the play space.

 Don’t forget to look up. Be aware of light fixtures, fans, and other objects overhead.
While playing:

 Stay far enough away from your TV to avoid contact.
 Keep enough distance from other players, bystanders, and pets. This distance may vary between games, so take account of how

you are playing when determining how far away you need to be.

 Stay alert for objects or people you might hit or trip over. People and objects can move into the area during play, so always be

alert to your surroundings.

Make sure you always have good footing while playing:

 Play on a level floor with enough traction for game activities.
 Make sure to use proper footwear for gaming or are barefoot, if appropriate. Do not wear high-heels, flip-flops, etc.

Don’t overexert yourself

Gameplay with the Kinect sensor may require varying amounts of physical activity.
Consult a doctor before using the sensor if you have any medical condition or issue that affects your ability to safely perform

physical activities, or if you:

 are or may be pregnant,
 have heart, respiratory, back, joint, or other orthopedic conditions,
 have high blood pressure,
 have difficulty with physical exercise, or
 have been instructed to restrict physical activity.

Consult your doctor before beginning any exercise routine or fitness regimen that includes using the Kinect sensor.
Do not play under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and make sure your balance and physical abilities are sufficient for any

movements while gaming.

Take breaks periodically

 Stop and rest if your muscles, joints, or eyes become tired or sore.
 If you experience excessive fatigue, nausea, shortness of breath, chest tightness, dizziness, discomfort, or pain, STOP USING

IMMEDIATELY and consult a doctor.

Do not use unlicensed accessories or unauthorized props or other objects with the Kinect sensor

Use of these accessories or objects may result in injury to yourself or others and/or in damage to the sensor or other property. Using
unauthorized accessories violates the Software License and may void your Limited Warranty.

Avoid Glare

To minimize eyestrain from glare, try the following:

 Position yourself at a comfortable distance from your television or monitor and the Kinect sensor.
 Place your television or monitor and Kinect sensor away from light sources that produce glare, or use window blinds to control

light levels.

 Choose soothing natural light that minimizes glare and eyestrain and increases contrast and clarity.
 Adjust your television or monitor brightness and contrast.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

WARNING

As with many other electrical devices, failure to take the following precautions can result in serious injury or death from electric
shock, fire, or damage to the Xbox One console or Kinect sensor.

AC-Powered Devices

Select an appropriate power source for your Xbox One console:
 Use only the power supply unit and AC power cord that came with your console or that you received from an authorized repair

center. If you are not sure if you have the correct power supply unit, compare the model number on the power supply unit with
the model number specified on your console. If you need a replacement power supply unit or AC power cord, you can find
Xbox Customer Support contact information at xbox.com/support.

 Confirm that your electrical outlet provides the type of power indicated on the power supply unit (in terms of voltage [V] and

frequency [Hz]). If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult a qualified electrician.

 Do not use non-standard power sources, such as generators or inverters, even if the voltage and frequency appear acceptable.

Use only AC power provided by a standard wall outlet.

 Do not overload your wall outlet, extension cord, power strip, or other electrical receptacle. Confirm that they are rated to

handle the total current (in amps [A]) drawn by the Xbox One console (indicated on the power supply unit) and any other
devices that are on the same circuit.

CAUTION: Cables

 To reduce potential trip hazards or entanglement hazards, arrange any 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 and do not allow children to play with
cables and cords.

To avoid damaging the power cords and power supply:

 Protect power cords from being walked on or crushed.
 Protect cords from being pinched or sharply bent, particularly where they connect to the power outlet, the power supply unit,

and the console.

 Do not jerk, knot, sharply bend, or otherwise abuse power cords.
 Do not expose power cords to sources of heat.
 Keep children and pets away from power cords. Do not allow them to bite or chew on them.
 When disconnecting power cords, pull on the plug, do not pull on the cord.

If a power cord or power supply unit becomes damaged in any way, stop using it immediately. Visit xbox.com/support for Xbox
Customer Support contact information.

Unplug your Xbox One console during lightning storms or when unused for long periods.

Rechargeable Wireless Devices

As with other electrical devices, failure to take the following precautions can result in serious injury or death from fire or damage to
wireless devices:

 Use only an approved charging cable.
 Do not allow a wireless device or charging cable to get wet.
 Unplug charging cable during lightning storms or when unused for long periods.
 To prevent damage, avoid sitting or stepping on a wireless device, its cable, or the cable plug or connector.
