▲ Important Safety Information

Disposable Battery Safety

Improper use of batteries may result in battery fluid leakage, overheating, or explosion. There is a risk of fire if batteries are replaced by an incorrect type. 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.
• Use only alkaline batteries, type AA (LR6).
• Do not mix new and old batteries.
• Remove the batteries if they are worn out or before storing your device for an extended period of time. Do not leave batteries in the AA battery holder when it is not installed in the controller.
• 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).

Remove Controller Batteries on Aircraft

Before boarding any aircraft or packing the wireless controller in luggage that will be checked, remove the batteries from the wireless controller. The wireless controller can transmit radio frequency (RF) energy, much like a cellular telephone, whenever batteries are installed.

Hearing Loss

Extended exposure to high volumes when using a headset may result in temporary or permanent hearing loss. Some third-party headsets may produce higher sound levels than compatible Microsoft headsets.

▲ 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 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.

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.

Radio Frequency Technical Specifications

CE

Hereby, Microsoft Corp. declares that this Xbox 360 Wireless Controller is in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC. The declaration of conformity can be found at http://assets.xbox.com/en-us/support/DoC-360WirelessNetworkAdapter.pdf

This equipment is intended to be used in all EU and EFTA countries.

To comply with RF exposure compliance requirements, this device must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

Radio and TV Interference Regulations

The Microsoft hardware device(s) can radiate RF energy. If not installed and used in strict accordance with the instructions given in the printed documentation and/or on-screen help files, the device may cause harmful interference with other radio-communications devices (for example AM/FM radios, televisions, baby monitors, cordless phones, etc). There is, however, no guarantee that RF interference will not occur in a particular installation.

To determine if your hardware device is causing interference to other radio-communications devices, disconnect the device from your computer or remove the device's batteries (for a battery operated device). If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the device. If the interference continues after you disconnect the hardware device or remove the batteries, turn the computer off and then on again. If the interference stopped when the computer was off, check to see if one of the input/output (I/O) devices or one of the computer's internal accessory boards is causing the problem. Disconnect the I/O devices one at a time and see if the interference stops.

If this hardware device does cause interference, try the following measures to correct it:

• Relocate the antenna of the other radio-communications device (for example AM/FM radios, televisions, baby monitors, cordless phones, etc.) until the interference stops.
• Move the hardware device farther away from the radio or TV, or move it to one side or the other of the radio or TV.
• Plug the computer into a different power outlet so that the hardware device and radio or TV are on different circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.
• If necessary, ask your computer dealer or an experienced radio-TV technician for more suggestions. For more information about interference issues, go to the FCC Web site at: http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/interference.html. You can also call the FCC at 888-CALL FCC to request Interference and Telephone Interference fact sheets.

For Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz devices only: To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, the following operating configurations must be satisfied: the antenna has been installed by the manufacturer and no changes can be made. The wireless devices must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Except for headset and handheld devices, wireless devices must be maintained at least 20 cm separation distance between the antenna of wireless device and all persons.
