Important health warnings

About 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 television screen

• Use a smaller television 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.

About 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 may be found in the Healthy Gaming Guide (available at http://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.

Selecting a Location for

the Xbox CONSOLE

Select a Safe Location

When selecting a location for the Xbox video game system, consider the following topics and the Important Safety Information on page 4.

Prevent the Xbox Console from Falling

If the Xbox console falls and hits someone, especially a small child, it may cause serious injury. To reduce the risk of such injuries and damage to the Xbox console, place the Xbox console on a surface that:

• is flat and level.

• is stable and not likely to tip over.

• allows all four feet of the Xbox console to be in

contact with the surface.

• is clean and free of dust or debris.

• is not likely to allow the Xbox console to slip or

slide off.

Take Precautions with Cables and Leads

Arrange all cables and leads 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 Xbox console is not in use, you may need to disconnect all cables and leads in the front and rear of the Xbox console to prevent children from pulling on them. Do not allow children to play with cables or leads.

Prevent the Xbox Console from Overheating

Do not block any ventilation openings. Do not place the Xbox console on a bed, settee or other soft surface that may block ventilation openings.

Do not place the Xbox console in a confined space, such as a bookcase, rack or stereo cabinet, unless the space is well ventilated.

Do not install the Xbox console near any heat sources, such as radiators, heating grates, stoves or other devices (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

Avoiding Damage to Your Television or Other AV Equipment

Do not use with certain televisions. Some televisions, especially front- or rear-projection types, may be damaged if any video games, including Xbox games, are played on them. Static images presented during the normal course of gameplay may “burn” into the screen, causing a permanent shadow of the static image to appear at all times, even when video games are not being played. Similar damage may occur from static images created when placing a video game on hold or pause. Consult your television owner’s manual to determine if video games can be played safely on your set. If you are unable to find this information in the owner’s manual, contact your television dealer or the manufacturer to determine if video games can be played safely on your set.

Before connecting or disconnecting any AV device (for example, television or VCR), make sure that the power to the Xbox console and to the AV device is turned off. This will reduce the risk of electrical damage to the equipment.

To avoid damage to AV equipment or to the Xbox console, do not touch AV cable terminals or the Xbox AV port with your fingers or allow metal parts to touch them.

http://www.xbox.com

Connecting to a TV

Connecting Using the Xbox Standard AV Cable

If your TV has composite video input, use the standard AV cable included with the Xbox video game system.

To connect to a TV or VCR

1. Connect the Xbox AV connector to the AV port on the Xbox console.

2. Connect the colour-coded connectors to the corresponding jack sockets on the TV or VCR: yellow to yellow (video), red to red (right audio), and white to white (left audio). Jacks may be on the front or back of the TV or VCR.

Note : For monaural TVs or VCRs, which have only one audio jack socket, connect either the right or left audio connector to the audio jack.

3. If connecting to a VCR, do not change the existing connection between the VCR and TV. Select VCR for the TV/VCR setting of the VCR.

4. Select the appropriate video input on your TV. For more information, see No Picture under Trouble- shooting on page 16.

You may not be able to connect to your TV or VCR using the standard AV cable. If you have antenna input, use the Xbox RF adapter.

Connecting Using the SCART Adapter

If your TV has SCART input, use the SCART adapter included with your Xbox video game system.

To connect using the SCART adapter

1. Connect the Xbox AV connector to the AV port on the Xbox console.

2. Connect the colour-coded connectors to the corresponding jack socket on the SCART adapter: yellow to yellow (video), red to red (right audio), and white to white (left audio).

Note For monaural TVs or VCRs, connect either the

right or left audio connector to the audio jack socket.

3. Connect the SCART adapter to your TV.

4. Select the appropriate video input on your TV. For more information, see No Picture under Trouble- shooting on page 16.

Connecting Xbox controllers

Using xbox controllers

Connecting and Disconnecting Xbox Controllers

To connect an Xbox Controller, insert the Xbox Controller connector into any controller port on the front of the Xbox console.

To disconnect, unplug the Xbox Controller connector from the Xbox Controller port. When disconnecting, pull on the controller connector, not the cable or inline release.

Do not touch Xbox Controller lead terminals or the Xbox Controller ports with your fingers or allow metal parts to touch them. Doing so may damage the Xbox Controller or the Xbox console.

Using the Xbox Controller in Games

For information about using the Xbox Controller with a game, see your game manual.

Inline Release

Each Xbox Controller lead has an

inline release

. This is a safety feature designed to reduce the chance of the Xbox console falling if the lead is pulled. If the Xbox console falls and hits someone, especially a small child, it may cause serious injury. To reduce the risk of such injuries or of damage to the Xbox console, it is important to properly use the Xbox Controllers and the inline release.

Use the Xbox Controller connector, not the inline release, to routinely connect and disconnect the Xbox Controller. If an inline release disconnects, simply reconnect it by aligning the grooved indentations on the two parts of the inline release and pressing the two parts completely together. The Xbox Controller will not work unless the inline release is properly connected.

WARNING! Never tape, glue or otherwise prevent an inline release from pulling apart.

The inline release reduces, but does not eliminate, the risk of the Xbox console being pulled off its surface. To further reduce the risk:

• Do not allow anyone to pull on the Xbox Controllers or

controller leads in a way that causes the Xbox console to move.

• Do not allow Xbox Controller leads to become crossed

or tangled with one another.

• Read and follow the instructions in Selecting a

Location for the Xbox Console on page 7.

This Limited Warranty does not affect those rights. See Section D – Consumer Rights for more information regarding your rights as a consumer.

The term "Xbox Product" means the Microsoft Xbox Video Game System console, the Microsoft Xbox software stored on the hard disk and embedded in microprocessors within the Xbox console, and Xbox compatible hardware peripheral products manufactured by Microsoft, whether included with the Xbox Video Game System or purchased separately.

A. WARRANTIES THIS WARRANTY EXTENDS TO THE ORIGINAL PURCHASER ONLY

• 12 Month Express Warranty. Subject to the terms and condi- tions of this Limited Warranty, Microsoft warrants to you only (the original purchaser), that under normal use and service, the Xbox Product will substantially conform with the accompanying printed user instruction materials for a period of 12 months starting as of the date of your sales receipt (the "Warranty Period")

• Implied Warranty. You may also have an implied warranty and/or condition under the laws of some jurisdictions, which is hereby limited to the duration of the Warranty Period. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty or condition lasts, so the foregoing limitation may not apply to you.

As to any defects discovered after the Warranty Period, there is no warranty or condition of any kind.

services you must call:

Within Australia: 1 800 1 48894, TTY: 1 800 1 48897

You must also:

• Submit proof of purchase in the form of a dated receipt or invoice (or a copy) evidencing that your request for service is made within the Warranty Period.

for the allowable damages that you incur in reasonable reliance but only up to the amount of the purchase price that you paid for your Xbox Product. This refund may include a deduction for depreciation based on your actual use.

• Any replacement parts or Xbox Product will be new or refurbished or serviceably used, comparable in function and performance to the original part or Xbox Product and warranted for the remainder of the original Warranty Period or 30 days from the date of shipment of the Xbox Product back to you, whichever is longer.

• Microsoft may, at its sole option, elect to replace the hard disk contained in your Xbox Product even if this causes a loss of data. YOU AGREE THAT MICROSOFT IS NOT LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY LOSS OF YOUR DATA.

• After the Warranty Period has expired, Microsoft may charge you a fee for its efforts to diagnose and service any Xbox Product-related problems.

• Microsoft will use commercially reasonable efforts to diagnose and attempt to correct, or suggest solutions for, Xbox Product defects that are covered by this Limited Warranty. MICROSOFT DOES NOT PRO-

VIDE ANY WARRANTIES REGARDING ITS WARRANTY SERVICES AND, EXCEPT FOR THE PRECEEDING SENTENCE, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW DISCLAIMS ALL DUTIES (IF ANY) OF WORKMANLIKE EFFORT OR OF LACK OF NEGLIGENCE.

the Trade Practices Act 1974 (Cth) and similar state and territory laws in Australia in respect of which liability may not be excluded or restricted. The provisions of this Limited Warranty are subject to, and do not affect, these rights and remedies.

E. NO OTHER WARRANTIES.

The express warranty stated in Section A above is the only express warranty made to you and (subject to applicable law) is provided in lieu of all other express or implied warranties and conditions (if any) including any created by any other documentation or packaging. No other warranties or conditions are made with respect to the Xbox Product or the warranty services by any person, including but not limited to Microsoft and its suppliers. No

information (oral or written) or suggestions made by Microsoft, its agents or suppliers or its or their employees, shall create a warranty or condition or expand the scope of this Limited Warranty. Also, there

is no warranty or condition of title, quiet enjoyment, or noninfringement in the Xbox Product. You may have greater rights existing under appli-

cable laws. Where any term of this Limited Warranty is prohibited by such laws it shall be null and void, but the remainder of the Limited Warranty shall remain in full force and effect.

F. EXCLUSIONS FROM LIMITED WARRANTY.
