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.

select a location for Your racing Wheel

The racing wheel can be lap or table mounted. If you mount the racing wheel to

a table, make sure that it does not fall.

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

racing wheel is not in use, you may need to

disconnect all cables and cords to keep them out of the reach of children and pets. Do not allow children to play with cables and cords.

Connect the Pedal Base to the Racing Wheel

NOTE

The racing wheel requires a straight-through

RJ-11 cable (included). Do not use a crossover RJ-11 cable with the racing wheel.

Attach the Table Clamp

The racing wheel can be used for either lap or table mounting. The table clamp stabilizes the wheel during gameplay—especially convenient when force feedback is engaged.

To connect the pedal base to the racing

wheel, connect one end of the RJ-11 cable to the RJ-11 port on the pedal

base and the other end to the port on the back of the racing wheel.

Before you can use your racing wheel with your Xbox 360 console, you need to:

• Install the racing wheel software on your Xbox 360 console.

• Connect the pedal base to the racing wheel.

• If table mounting is desired, attach the table clamp to a table and attach the racing wheel to

the clamp.

• Connect the racing wheel’s AC power cord to a standard wall outlet or insert batteries.

The racing wheel uses only the AA battery pack with AA disposable batteries (provided) or, alternately, the Xbox 360 Rechargeable Battery Pack (sold separately).

• Introduce the racing wheel to the console by wirelessly connecting the two.

Install the Racing Wheel Software on Your Console

Your console needs a system update before you can use it with the racing wheel.

To update your console:

1 Turn on your console and load the supplied software disc. The update will install

automatically.

2 When the installation con rmation message appears, remove the disc and begin setting up

your new hardware.

X123543701bdy_ENU_m1.indd 5-6 7/27/06 8:55:24 AM

To streamline your system’s appearance, thread both the RJ-11 cable and the power

cord (if used) through the cable-management area on the underside of the pedal base.

To attach t he table clamp:

1 Loosen the clamp’s screw and make sure

the quick-release lever on the front of the

clamp is open (not pressed  at), then slide

the clamp onto the edge of your table. Take

care not to pinch your  ngers.

2 Hand-tighten the screw until the  t is snug.

Do not overtighten the screw, as this may

damage the table surface.

3 Push the quick-release lever  at.

english

To move the clamp to another location, pull the quick-release lever, loosen the screw, and slide the clamp off the table.

Attach the Racing Wheel to the Clamp

To attach the racing wheel to the table

clamp, angle it toward you so that the guide pins on the clamp  t into the corresponding

sockets on the base of the racing wheel.

Take care not to pinch your  ngers. Once aligned, press down on the back of

the racing wheel until it clicks into place.

Connect to Power

To connect the racing wheel to power,

either connect the AC power supply to a

standard wall outlet, or insert batteries

(provided). While connected to AC

power, your racing wheel will continue

to use wireless signals for gameplay. Connect to power by completely inserting

the power supply cord into the power input on the back of the racing wheel until it stops. Connect the AC power cord into the

power supply until it stops, then connect

the power cord to a standard wall outlet.

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 racing wheel.

If you use AC power, select an appropriate power source:

• The racing wheel’s power input is 24V DC @ 1A. Use only the power supply and AC power

• The racing wheel’s power input is 24V DC @ 1A. Use only the power supply and AC power cord that came with your racing wheel or that you received from an authorized repair

voltage and frequency appear acceptable. Only use AC power provided by a standard wall

outlet.

To avoid damaging the AC power cord:

• Protect the cord from being pinched or sharply bent, particularly where it connects to the

power outlet and the racing wheel.

• Do not jerk, knot, sharply bend, or otherwise abuse the power cord.

• Do not expose the power cord to sources of heat.

• When disconnecting the power cord or power supply, pull on the plug—do not pull on

the cord.

If the power cord becomes damaged in any way, stop using it immediately and contact Xbox

Customer Support for a replacement.

Unplug your racing wheel’s power cord during lightning storms or when unused for long

periods of time.

To release the racing wheel from

the clamp, press the release button

and lift the racing wheel from the

clamp’s guide pins, back-end  rst.
