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 Xbox 360 console
according to these instructions.
Place the console on a surface that:
• Is flat and level.
• Is stable and not likely to tip over.
• Allows all four 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.

CONNECT THE CONSOLE TO POWER
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 fire or damage to the
Xbox 360 video game system.
Select an appropriate power source for
your Xbox 360 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,
contact Xbox Customer 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. Only use
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 360
console (indicated on the power supply
unit) and any other devices that are on
the same circuit.
• Use a properly grounded electrical
outlet that accommodates the threeprong grounding plug. Do not remove
the grounding prong. If the plug does
not fit into your outlet, have an
electrician replace the obsolete outlet.
To avoid damaging the power cords and power supply:
• Do not wrap power cords around the
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.
• Keep children and pets away from the
power cords. Do not allow them to bite or
chew on them.
• When disconnecting the power cords,
pull on the plug—do not pull on the cord.
• Do not let the power supply hang from
either power cord.
If a power cord or power supply becomes
damaged in any way, stop using it
immediately and contact Xbox Customer
Support for a replacement.
Unplug your Xbox 360 video game and
entertainment system during lightning
storms or when unused for long periods
of time.
Always connect the power cords according
to the following instructions:
1 Fully insert the power supply cord into
the Xbox 360 console until it clicks.
2 Plug the AC power cord into the power
supply until it stops.
3 Plug the other end of the AC power cord
into the wall outlet.

PREPARE THE WIRELESS CONTROLLER FOR USE
Insert Batteries in the Wireless
Controller
The wireless controller uses disposable
AA batteries or the Xbox 360 Rechargeable
Battery Pack (sold separately). If you plan to
use disposable batteries, you should
familiarize yourself with the “Disposable
Battery Safety” section below.
Disposable Battery Safety
Improper use of batteries may result in
battery fluid leakage, overheating, or
explosion. Released battery fluid is
corrosive and may be toxic. It can cause
skin and eye burns, and is harmful if
swallowed. To reduce the risk of injury:
• Keep batteries out of reach
of children.
• Do not heat, open, puncture, mutilate or
dispose of batteries in fire.
• Do not mix new and old batteries or
batteries of different types (for example,
carbon-zinc and alkaline batteries).
• Remove the batteries if they are worn
out or before storing your controller or
remote control for an extended period
of time. For the wireless controller, do
not leave batteries in the AA battery
holder when it is not installed in
the controller.
quadrants. When a controller is connected to
your console, it is assigned a quadrant, which
glows green to indicate the controller’s
position. As more controllers are added, each
quadrant of the console glows green to reflect
the added controller’s number. The Ring of
Light on the console will also flash
combinations of red if there are system
problems. See “Troubleshooting” for more
details.
• If a battery leaks, remove all batteries,
taking care to keep the leaked fluid from
touching your skin or clothes. If fluid
from the battery comes into contact
with skin or clothes, flush skin with
water immediately. Before inserting
new batteries, thoroughly clean the
battery compartment with a damp
paper towel, or follow the battery
manufacturer’s recommendations for
cleanup.
• Dispose of batteries in accordance with
Local and National Disposal
Regulations, including those governing
the recovery and recycling of waste
electrical and electronic equipment
(WEEE).

IMPORTANT HEALTH WARNINGS ABOUT PLAYING VIDEO GAMES
PLAY GAMES
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 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
(available at 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.

The Xbox 360 system is designed to work with
a variety of external devices, including:
• Up to four wireless controllers and other
gameplay peripherals, including the Xbox

360 VGA HD AV Cable (sold separately).
• Ethernet and wireless home networking
devices such as the Xbox 360 Wireless

Hard Drive (included, though others are
sold separately), Xbox 360 Memory Units
(sold separately) and USB-based storage
devices.
• USB-based media devices such as music
players and digital cameras.
• Custom Xbox 360 Faceplates.

Objects between the controller and the
console can reduce this range.
Look for the Xbox Authentic Product logo for
peripherals from Microsoft for use with your
Xbox 360 system:
For devices from other manufacturers, look
for one of the following logos, which means
the device has been tested to meet stringent
compatibility requirements to work with Xbox
360 or Xbox Live. For more information about
compatible devices, go to www.xbox.com.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Follow these steps to troubleshoot difficulties
with the Xbox 360 video game and
entertainment system. If the steps in this
troubleshooting section do not solve your
problem, contact Xbox Customer Support. Go
to www.xbox.com/support or call the Xbox
Customer Support number provided on the
back cover. Do not take your Xbox 360
console or its peripherals to your retailer for
repair or service unless instructed to do so by
an Xbox Customer Support representative.
Do Not Attempt Repairs
Do not attempt to take apart, open, service,
or modify the Xbox 360 console, power
supply or peripherals. Doing so could
present the risk of electric shock, fire or
damage to your Xbox 360 console. Any
evidence of any attempt to open and/or
modify the Xbox 360 console, including
any peeling, puncturing, or removal of any
of the labels, will void the Limited
Warranty and render the Xbox 360 console
ineligible for authorized repair.
No Power
Confirm that you have an appropriate power
source and check all connections between
wall outlet and power supply, and power
supply and console (see “Connect the Console
to Power ”). The power supply light should
glow green when it is working properly.
No Picture
Connect the appropriate AV cable. Turn on the
TV. Select the video input on the TV (or VCR, if
connected to a VCR) that displays the Xbox
360 game. Common names for video input
include Input Select, AUX, Line In, Line, In,
Input, Source, and EXT, depending on your TV
or VCR type. For more information, see your
TV or VCR manual.
No Sound
Check the AV connection. If you’re using
digital audio, make sure the receiver is turned
on and the output in your Xbox 360 console’s
audio settings is set correctly.
Poor Quality Sound
Clean the disc as shown in “Care and
Cleaning” in the Xbox 360 Warranty manual
(Volume 2). Check the AV connection. Play
Dolby® Digital audio only on audio systems
that support Dolby Digital. Select the audio
output that is supported by your system or
TV: stereo or Dolby Surround for stereo
speakers, mono for monaural speakers. If
sound is coming from only one speaker, check
that all audio cables are connected correctly.
Disc Tray Does Not Open
Make sure the removable faceplate on the
front of the console is fully connected and
properly aligned. Check the connection to
power (see “Connect the Console to Power”
on page 7). Turn on the Xbox 360 console by
pressing the Power button.
Game, Movie or Music Does Not Start
Play only supported discs (Xbox 360 games,
audio CDs, DVD movies). Insert the disc with
the label up and close the disc tray. Clean the
disc as shown in “Care and Cleaning” in the
Xbox 360 Warranty manual (Volume 2).
Ring of Light Flashes
The lights in the console Ring of Light should
glow solid while the Xbox 360 video game and
entertainment system is on and flash when
you press the Eject button. If the Ring of Light
flashes differently during operation, the Xbox
360 video game and entertainment system
has an internal problem:
• Four lights on console flash red: Check
your AV cable.
• Two left lights on console flash red: The
Xbox 360 console is too hot and will not
play games until cooled down. Place the
Xbox 360 console in a well-ventilated area
away from other heat sources. Once the
console cools, the flashing will stop and
the Xbox 360 video game and
entertainment system can be played. For
more information, see “Select a Location
for the Xbox 360 Console.”
• Four lights on controller periodically flash
green: No Ring of Light quadrant
assignment. The controller is not
connected or all four quadrants are full.
• All other patterns: Internal problem
