Before allowing children to use the Xbox 360 video game system:
1 Determine how each child can use the Xbox 360 console
(playing games, connecting to Xbox LIVE
®
, 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.
2 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

on the TV.
