USER MANUAL Xbox 360 Chatpad MICROSOFT

Thanks for choosing the Xbox 360 Chatpad. Chatpad attaches to the back of your Xbox 360 wired or wireless controller to enable in-game text messaging, instant messaging, and other text entry. The keypad is optimized for fast, thumbs-only typing.

To use Chatpad for messaging, you need an Xbox LIVE® membership. For information about Xbox LIVE, see your Xbox 360 Setup manual (Volume 1). You will also need either an Xbox 360 Controller or Xbox 360 Wireless Controller, both sold separately.

Chatpad offers:

• A dedicated Windows Live™ Messenger button for instant access to in-game text messaging and Windows Live Messenger instant messaging on Xbox 360.
  An audio jack for use with any headset that uses a standard 2.5-mm connector.
  Backlit keys.

• Tactile confirmation of each button press.

NOTE

Only controllers with the Created by Xbox stamp are compatible with

Chatpad. Only products manufactured by Microsoft will bear this stamp.

UPDATE YOUR CONSOLE

Before you connect Chatpad to your controller, make sure your Xbox 360 console is up to date by connecting to Xbox LIVE. For more information about connecting to Xbox LIVE, see your Xbox 360 Setup manual (Volume 1).

CONNECT CHATPAD TO A CONTROLLER

Once you've connected your console to Xbox LIVE and completed any system updates, you're ready to connect Chatpad to a controller.

1 Turn over both your controller and your Chatpad so the bottoms face up.
2 Align the Chatpad connector plug with the controller's expansion port. Align the two posts on the Chatpad with the holes on the controller.
3 Gently but firmly push the Chatpad onto the controller with even pressure until they snap together.

NOTE

If your console is not connected to the Internet or if you are not a subscriber to Xbox LIVE, you can download the Chatpad update to your PC, burn it to a CD, and install it on your console. For more info, go to www.xbox.com/update.

You may need to use firm pressure to fully seat the Chatpad onto the controller. A fully-seated Chatpad will have no gaps between it and the edges of the controller.

Once Chatpad is connected to a powered controller, it is ready to use.

Connect a Headset

The 2.5-mm audio jack on Chatpad lets you connect headsets such as the revised Xbox 360 Headset with inline volume control or a mobile phone headset. Xbox 360 Chatpad does not work with the original Xbox 360 Headset with volume controls on the cable connector. For more information, see the instruction manual for your headset.

To connect a headset, plug the headset's connector into the 2.5-mm connector jack on Chatpad.

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.

USING CHATPAD

Keyboard

As with a standard PC keyboard, Chatpad characters are lower case by default and the SHIFT button is your access to capital letters.

English Keyboard

French Keyboard

In addition to standard keys like those for numbers, space, and backspace, Chatpad provides two "modifier" keys other than SHIFT: AMBER and GREEN. These keys toggle between standard key values (white characters) and special characters (amber or green colored characters printed on the keys).

Also featured on the Chatpad is the Windows Live Messenger button. Press this button to access instant messaging. The Windows Live Messenger button also lights up whenever you receive an instant message.

For information about using Chatpad with a particular game, see your game manual.

Special Characters

When you press the SHIFT, AMBER, or GREEN key once, the subsequent

key press will produce a character in your selected mode (upper-case or special). The second and following key presses will be in the normal (lower-case) mode.

To enter caps lock mode, press the AMBER key and then press the SHIFT (CAPS) key. Press this key combination again to return to normal mode.

The SHIFT, AMBER, and GREEN keys illuminate to signify that the keypad is in a particular mode.

To add a diacritic (accent mark) to a letter, press the key combination for the diacritic, then press the letter to apply the diacritical mark to. For example, to enter ü on an English chatpad, press the GREEN key, the G key (the umlaut character is printed in green on this key), and then the U key.

Backlight

Chatpad's white backlight enables use in dark rooms. Pressing any key on the Chatpad will activate the backlight, which will stay on for several seconds after each press.
