Users Manual

USING YOUR CONTROLLER Xbox Guide Button The Xbox Guide button in the center of your controller puts the Xbox 360 ® experience at your fi ngertips. Press and hold the Xbox Guide button to turn your console on. Once on, the Xbox Guide button gives you immediate access to the Xbox Guide. To turn off your console, press and hold the Xbox Guide button and confi rm your selection. Directional Pad Your Controller has a transforming directional pad. To use the directional pad for sweeping motion control, twist the pad in either direction to transform to a disc. To use the pad for four–point directional control, twist the pad to transform into a plus. ! WARNING Before using this product, read this manual and the Xbox 360 console instructions for important safety and health information. Keep all manuals for future reference. For replacement manuals, visit www.xbox.com/support. The limited warranty covering this product is contained in the Xbox 360 console instructions and is available online at www.xbox.com/support. ! Disposable Battery Safety 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 fi 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 fl uid from touching your skin or clothes. If fl 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 manufacturer’s 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. 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 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. 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 at www.xbox.com. These guidelines address topics such as: • Positioning yourself to use comfortable, not awkward, postures. • Keeping your hands, fi 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 qualifi ed health professional. NOTE To avoid pinching your fi ngers when inserting, push only on the fl at surface of the battery pack. ! Remove Controller Batteries Aboard Aircraft Before boarding any aircraft or packing t…
