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 wireless headset.

Select an appropriate power source for your wireless headset:

• Use only the AC power adapter that came with your wireless headset or that you received from an authorized repair center.

• Do not use non-standard power sources, such as generators or inverters, even if the voltage and frequency appear acceptable. Only use AC power provided by a standard wall outlet.

• Do not allow the headset or the AC power adapter to get wet.

To avoid damaging the adapter or the headset, unplug your headset’s

AC power adapter during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

When the headset is connected to the AC power adapter it should not

be worn.

SET UP YOUR WIRELESS HEADSET

Battery Safety

The wireless headset contains a built-in battery, improper use of which

may result in explosion. Do not heat, open, puncture, mutilate, or dispose

of the headset in re.

CONNECT YOUR HEADSET

Before you can use your Xbox 360 Wireless Headset with your Xbox 360 console, you need to:

1 Charge its battery. 2 Introduce the headset to the

console by wirelessly connecting the two.

3 Put it on.

CHARGE YOUR HEADSET

Charge your Xbox 360 Wireless

Headset before rst use and

whenever its built-in battery is depleted. To charge or recharge the headset, connect one end of the AC power adapter to an AC power outlet and the other end to the headset’s power input.

NOTES

• Fully charging the battery can take up to four hours using the supplied AC power adapter.

• If your headset is wirelessly connected to a console, connecting it to the AC power adapter will disconnect it from the console.

• The headset is not functional when it is connected to the AC power adapter.

• If the headset is unused for a long time, its battery may lose its charge. If this occurs, simply recharge the headset normally.

• The headset may become warm while charging.

Connect the headset to your console

by rst pressing the connect button

on the console and then pressing and holding the connect button on the headset for one or more seconds. You have a 20-second window in which to establish the connection.

To connect your wireless headset to your console:

1 If your console is not on, press the

power button to turn on the console.

While the headset is charging, the

four lights on the headset will ash

green in sequence (1, 2, 3, 4, off). When charging is complete, all four lights will blink in unison to signify that the headset is ready for use.

2 If your headset is not on, press the

headset’s power button to turn on the headset.

3 Press and release the connect

button on the console.

4 Press and hold the connect button

on the headset for one or more seconds. The headset will automatically be assigned to the

english

rst available quadrant in the

console’s Ring of Light.

If a controller is connected to

quadrant 1, the system will associate the headset with quadrant 1. If another wireless headset is already associated with quadrant 1, your headset will be associated with quadrant 2.

5 If you want to associate the

headset with a controller on a different quadrant, press the headset’s connect button to manually advance the quadrant to match the quadrant of your desired controller.

For example, to associate the headset with a controller

connected to quadrant 3, press the connect button three times within 20 seconds of initiating the connection process. The headset will emit a single beep as you

select the rst quadrant, two

beeps as you select the second quadrant, and three as you select the third.

6 After the Ring of Light on the

console spins and ashes once,

the headset is connected. The quadrant that remains lit indicates the headset’s position. The corresponding light on the

headset conrms the quadrant.

NOTES

• To use the headset, you must be

signed in with a gamer prole. The rst time you use the headset, you

must connect to Xbox Live. For information about Xbox Live, visit www.xbox.com/live.

• You can connect up to four wireless headsets to a console at one time. Each connected headset is assigned to a quadrant on the Ring of Light.

• Before you can connect a wireless headset, at least one quadrant must be free (unlit). To disconnect a wireless controller, press and hold the Xbox Guide button for three seconds, and then turn the controller off. To disconnect a wired controller, unplug its cable from the console.

• If you plan to connect multiple controllers and multiple wireless headsets, connect a wireless

headset rst, alternating between

each headset and its intended controller.

• A controller is not required for the headset to work with the console. If you’re not using a controller, the headset will occupy its own quadrant on the Ring of Light. If you

have a friends list, you can open a chat window or send a voice message using the wireless headset and either the Xbox 360 Media Remote or the Xbox 360 Universal Media Remote.

• An Xbox 360 Headset (wired) takes precedence over a wireless headset. A wireless headset cannot be associated with a controller that is connected to a wired headset. To use a wireless headset instead, disconnect the wired headset and then repeat the wireless connection steps.

• When you turn off your console, the headset also turns off. It will still be connected the next time you turn on the console.

• Your headset is connected to only one console at a time. You can connect to a new console at any time, but your connection to the previously connected console will be lost.

• The Xbox 360 Wireless Headset works only within 9 meters (30 feet) of the console. Objects between the controller and the console can reduce this range.

PUT ON YOUR HEADSET

1 Choose a headset earloop. If the

earloop does not t comfortably,

2; 1, 1 and 2; etc.) to signal an error condition.

If this occurs, the headset may be too hot or too cold. Leave the headset connected to the power adapter long enough for its temperature to settle, at which point the battery should charge normally.

If the error condition persists and the headset appears to be at room temperature, call Xbox Customer Support (see “If You Need More Help”).
