This symbol identies the safety and

health messages in this manual and Xbox 360 accessories manuals.

Warning

Failure to properly set up, use and care

for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system can increase the risk of serious injury or death or damage to the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system. Read this manual and the manuals of any accessories for important safety and health information. Keep all manuals for future reference. For replacement manuals, go to www.xbox.com/support.

Before allowing children to use the

You can position your console horizontally or vertically, whichever you prefer. However, if you change your console’s orientation, make sure that 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 at and level.

• Is stable and not likely to tip over.

• Allows all the 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 conned

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 ampliers.

Avoid Smoke and Dust

Do not use the console in smoky or dusty

locations. Smoke and dust can damage the console, particularly the disc drives.

Electrical Safety

As with many other electrical devices,

failure to take the following precautions can result in serious injury or death from

electric shock or re or damage to the

Xbox 360 console.

Select an appropriate power source for

your Xbox 360 console:

• Use only the power supply unit and the AC power cord that came with your console or that you received from an authorised repair centre or Xbox Customer Support. 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 specied on your console. If

you need a replacement power supply

unit or AC power cord, you can nd

Xbox Customer Support contact information at www.xbox.com/support.

• Conrm 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

qualied 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 lead, power strip or other

electrical receptacle. Conrm that

they are rated to handle the total current (in amps [A]) drawn by the Xbox 360 console (indicated on the power supply unit) and any other devices that are on the same circuit.

• Do not connect any other devices

between the power supply unit and the Xbox 360 console or between the power cord and the power supply unit.

To avoid damaging the power cords and

power supply:

• Protect the power cords from being

walked on.

• 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 the power cords.

• Do not expose the power cords to

sources of heat.

• Do not wrap power cords around the

power supply unit.

• Keep children and pets away from the

power cords. Do not allow them to bite or chew them.

• When disconnecting the power cords,

pull on the plug — do not pull on the cord.

• Do not let the power supply unit

hang from either power cord.

If a power cord or power supply unit

becomes damaged in any way, stop using it immediately. Visit www.xbox.com/support for Xbox Customer Support contact information.

Unplug your Xbox 360 console during

lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

IMPORTANT HEALTH WARNINGS ABOUT PLAYING VIDEO GAMES

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

tired.

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 the 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.

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.

L’installation, l’utilisation et l’entretien

incorrects de la console de jeu et de loisirs Xbox 360 peuvent provoquer des risques de lésions sérieuses, d’endommagements de la console de jeu et de loisirs Xbox 360, voire de décès. Lisez les informations importantes en matière de sécurité et de santé présentées dans ce manuel ainsi que dans les manuels des accessoires. Conservez tous les manuels pour référence ultérieure. Pour obtenir des manuels de remplacement, consultez le site www.xbox.com/support.

Avant d’autoriser vos enfants à jouer avec

la console de jeu et de loisirs Xbox 360 :

1 Déterminez ce que chaque enfant

peut faire avec la console Xbox 360 (jouer aux jeux, se connecter à Xbox LIVE, remplacer des piles, effectuer des branchements électriques, audio/vidéo et réseau) et demandez-vous s’ils ne devraient pas être surveillés au cours de ces activités.

2 Si vous autorisez vos enfants à utiliser

la console Xbox 360 sans surveillance, veillez à leur expliquer toutes les instructions et informations relatives à la santé et à la sécurité.

La console Xbox 360 ne lit pas les jeux

copiés ou « piratés », ni tout autre support non autorisé. Toute tentative de violation du système de protection anti-piratage de la console Xbox 360

risque d’entraîner l’arrêt dénitif du

fonctionnement de la console Xbox 360. Cela annule également votre Garantie limitée et risque d’invalider toute possibilité de réparation, payante ou non, de votre console Xbox 360.

Vous devez accepter les termes et

conditions de la Garantie limitée et de ce manuel pour utiliser votre console Xbox 360. Si vous n’acceptez pas ces

termes et conditions, ne congurez pas et

n’utilisez pas votre console Xbox 360 et renvoyez-la à Microsoft pour obtenir un remboursement.

Vous pouvez positionner votre console à l’horizontale ou à la verticale, selon vos préférences. Cependant, pour changer l’orientation de votre console, assurez-vous qu’elle est éteinte et

que le tiroir à disque est vide. Quelle que soit la position de votre console, vériez que ses orices de ventilation et son récepteur infrarouge ne sont pas obstrués.

Éviter que la console ne tombe

Si la console Xbox 360 tombe et

heurte quelqu’un, en particulier un jeune enfant, cela peut entraîner des

blessures graves. An de réduire le

risque d’endommagement de la console Xbox 360 ou de blessure, installez-la en respectant les instructions ci-après. Placez la console sur une surface :

• plane ;

• stable, qui ne risque pas de basculer ;

• qui permet aux quatre pieds de la

console d’être en contact avec la surface ;

• sur laquelle la console ne risque pas

de glisser ;

• propre, sans poussière ni débris.

Si la surface ou les pieds de la console

sont sales ou poussiéreux, nettoyez-les avec un chiffon sec. Si la console est en position verticale, placez-la sur une

surface où elle ne risque pas de tomber

si elle se renverse.

Placez tous les câbles et cordons de

manière à ce que personne (ou aucun animal) ne puisse se prendre les pieds dedans ou tirer dessus par mégarde en se déplaçant dans la pièce. Lorsque vous n’utilisez pas la console, il est préférable

de débrancher tous les câbles et cordons à l’arrière et à l’avant de la console pour les maintenir hors de portée des enfants et des animaux domestiques. Ne laissez pas vos enfants jouer avec les câbles et cordons.

Évitez que la console ne surchauffe

Ne bloquez pas les orices d’aération

de la console ou du bloc d’alimentation. Ne placez pas la console ou le bloc d’alimentation sur un tapis, un lit, un divan ou une autre surface souple qui

pourrait obstruer les orices de

ventilation. Ne placez pas la console ou l’alimentation dans un espace restreint, tel qu’une étagère, un casier ou un meuble de rangement à moins que l’espace ne

soit sufsamment ventilé. Ne placez

aucun objet, y compris du matériel audio/ vidéo sur la console.

Ne placez pas la console ou son

alimentation près d’une source de chaleur (radiateurs, bouches de chaleur, cuisinières

ou amplicateurs, par exemple).

Évitez la fumée et la poussière

N’utilisez pas la console dans des endroits

poussiéreux ou enfumés. Les poussières et la fumée peuvent endommager la console, en particulier le lecteur de disque.
