Improper use of batteries may result in battery fl uid leakage, overheating, or explosion. Risk
of explosion if batteries are replaced by an incorrect type. Use and replace only with correct
size and type of batteries. Released battery fl uid 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  re.
Use only alkaline (not rechargeable) batteries, type AA (LR6).
Do not mix new and old batteries or batteries of different types.
Do not allow metal objects to touch the battery terminals on the device; they can
become hot and cause burns.
Remove the batteries if they are worn out or before storing your controller for an extended
period of time. Do not leave batteries in the AA battery pack when it is not installed in the
controller.
If a battery leaks, remove all batteries, taking care to keep the leaked uid from touching
your skin or clothes. If uid from the battery comes into contact with skin or clothes, fl ush
skin with water immediately. Before inserting new batteries, thoroughly clean the battery
compartment with a damp paper towel, or follow the battery manufacturers
recommendations for cleanup.
Dispose of batteries in accordance with local and national disposal regulations (if any).
Insert batteries according to the instructions in this manual.

A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual
images, including fl 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.

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.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy.
If not installed and used in strict accordance with the instructions given in the printed
documentation and/or on-screen help  les, the device may cause harmful interference with
other radio-communications devices (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 device or remove the batteries, turn the device
off and then on again. If the interference stopped when the device was off, check to see if one
of the input/output (I/O) devices 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 (AM/FM radio, television,
baby monitor, cordless phone, 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 device into a different power outlet so that the device and radio or TV are on
different circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses.
If necessary, consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for more suggestions.

To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, the following operating con gurations must
be satis ed: 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
at least 20 cm between the antenna of the wireless device and all persons.
