Before allowing children to use the Xbox 360 video game system:
1
Determine how each child can use the Xbox 360 console
and Kinect
®
sensor (playing games, connecting to the Xbox
service, chatting or video messaging with other players online,
replacing batteries, making electrical, AV cable, and network
connections) and whether they should be supervised during
these activities.

If you allow children to use the Xbox 360 console without
supervision, be sure to explain all relevant safety and health
information and instructions.
The Xbox 360 console will not play copied or “pirated” games or
other unauthorized media. Attempting to defeat the Xbox 360
anti-piracy protection system may cause your Xbox 360 console to
stop working permanently. It will also void your Limited Warranty,
and may make your Xbox 360 console ineligible for authorized
repair, even for a fee.
You must accept the terms and conditions of the Limited Warranty
and this manual to use your Xbox 360 console. If you do not accept
these terms and conditions, do not set up or use your Xbox 360
video game system and return it to Microsoft
®
or your retailer for
a refund.
Make sure children using the Kinect sensor play safely
Make sure children using the Kinect sensor play safely and within
their limits, and make sure they understand proper use of the
system.
Cables
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 and sensor are 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.
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.
prevent the Console from overheating
Do not block any ventilation openings on the console or power
supply. Do not place the console or power supply on a bed, sofa,
or other soft surface that may block ventilation openings. Do
not place the console or power supply in a confined space, such
as a bookcase, rack, or stereo cabinet, unless the space is well
ventilated.
Do not place the console or power supply near any heat sources,
such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or amplifiers.
avoid smoke and Dust
Do not use the console in smoky or dusty locations. Smoke and
dust can damage the console, particularly the DVD drive.
position Your Xbox 360
You can position your console horizontally or vertically, whichever
you prefer. However, if you change your console’s orientation,
make sure it is turned off with no disc in the tray. However you
position your console, make sure to not block any ventilation
openings or the IR receiver.
Disc Use
Make sure the disc is held in place by the tabs on the disc tray so
that it doesn’t fall out.
To avoid jamming the disc drive and damaging discs or the
console:
• Remove discs before moving the console or tilting it between
the horizontal and vertical positions.
• Never use cracked discs. They can shatter inside the console
and jam or break internal parts.
• When the console is vertical, do not use discs that are smaller
than standard DVDs and CDs.
Connect additional Controllers
To connect additional wireless controllers to your console, or to
connect your controller to a different console, follow these steps.
To connect a wireless controller to your console:
1
Press and hold down the Xbox Guide button until the controller
turns on.
2
Make sure the console is turned on. If not, touch the power
button and allow the console to completely start up. When the
Xbox Dashboard or inserted disc runs, the console is ready.
3
Press the connect button on the console and wait for the
console lights to flash.
4
Press the connect button on the controller and wait for the
controller lights to spin.
The lights on the console and controller will remain on once the
devices are connected.
Headset Damage
To prevent damage to any headset, avoid sitting or stepping on the
headset, its cable, or the cable connector.
Important
Stationary images in video games can “burn” into some TV screens,
creating a permanent shadow. Consult your TV owner’s manual of
manufacturer before playing games. Do not connect the console
through a VCR. Video signals fed through VCRs may be affected
by copyright protection systems and the picture will be distorted
on the TV.
plaY spaCe
Make sure you have enough space to move freely while
playing
Gameplay with your Kinect sensor may require varying amounts
of movement. Make sure you won’t hit, run into, or trip over other
players, bystanders, pets, furniture, or other objects when playing. If
