CAUTION: Cable and cord safety
Exposed device cables and cords pose a potential tripping hazard. 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. Do not allow children to
play with cables and cords. To avoid damaging the cords and cables:
• Protect cords from being walked on or crushed.
• Protect cords from being pinched or sharply bent, particularly where they connect to a wall power (mains) outlet, the
power supply unit, and your device.
• Do not jerk, knot, sharply bend, stretch, or otherwise abuse the power cords. Do not wrap your power cord too tightly,
especially around the power brick. Instead, wrap it using loose coils rather than tight angles.

• When positioning your device or PSU make sure that the cords are not bent sharply and that the connectors are not
pushed against a wall or hard surface.
• Do not expose power cords to heat sources.
• Do not allow pets or children to bite or chew on power cords.
• When disconnecting the power cord, pull on the plug—do not pull on the cord.
• Inspect your power cords and cables regularly. If a power cord or cable becomes warm, frayed, cracked or damaged
in any way, stop using it immediately. We recommend that you replace your damaged power cord or cable with a
genuine Microsoft replacement power cord or cable.
• Unplug your charging cable or cord during lightning storms or when unused for long periods.
WARNING: General Battery Safety
Your device uses disposable or rechargeable batteries. Improper use or misuse of disposable or rechargeable batteries may
cause injury, death, property damage, and may damage your device or its accessories as a result of battery fluid leakage, fire,
overheating, or explosion.
Battery fluid is corrosive and may be toxic. It can cause burns and may be harmful or fatal if swallowed.
To reduce the risk of injury when using disposable or rechargeable batteries:
• Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
• Charge rechargeable batteries only with the charger provided with your device. Using an improper charging method
may result in fire or explosion.
• Immediately remove old, weak, or worn out batteries from your device. Recycle or dispose of old, weak, or worn
batteries in accordance with local, regional, or national law or regulation,
• Remove the batteries from your device before storing your device for an extended period.
• Avoid contact with battery fluid. If a battery leaks:
• Keep the leaked fluid from touching your skin, eyes, clothes, or other surfaces. If the battery fluid contacts your
skin, eyes, or clothes, immediately the affected area with water and contact your doctor or other medical provider
as appropriate.
• Carefully remove all batteries by reversing the battery installation instructions provided with your device.
• Before inserting new batteries, thoroughly clean the battery compartment with a dry cloth, or follow the battery
manufacturer’s recommendations for cleanup.
• We recommend that you use Microsoft approved battery packs. Replace the disposable or rechargeable batteries
supplied with your device with batteries of the same type and rating.
• Do not disassemble, crush, open, puncture, shred, short external contacts or circuits, expose to temperature above
40 °C (104 °F), or dispose of batteries in fire or water.
• Do not mix new and old batteries or batteries of different types (for example, carbon-zinc and alkaline batteries).
• Do not allow metal objects to touch the battery terminals on the device; they can become hot and cause burns.
• Do not carry or place batteries or battery packs together with other metal objects.
• Do not leave a battery-powered device in direct sunlight for an extended period.
• Do not immerse batteries in water or allow them to become wet.
• Do not use a battery if it has become wet. Do not attempt to dry a battery or battery pack with a hair dryer, in a
conventional oven, or in a microwave oven.

• Do not connect batteries directly to wall outlets or car cigarette-lighter sockets.
• Do not strike, throw, step on, or subject batteries to severe physical shock.
• Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects into the battery, immerse or expose to water or
other liquids, expose to fire, explosion or other hazard.
• Do not recharge batteries near a fire or in extremely hot conditions.
• Dropping your device or its battery, especially on a hard surface, can damage the device and its battery. We
recommend that you seek professional assistance to inspect your device if you believe damage has occurred.
• Never use a damaged battery. If your battery appears scratched, or nicked, immediately place it aside and dispose of it
properly. Use of a damaged battery can cause electrical shorts, overheating, and other component failures.
WARNING: Battery replacement and device repairs (user replaceable batteries)
Batteries in devices with user-replaceable batteries can be changed by opening the battery receptacle and following the
battery replacement instructions in the Quick Start Guide. Microsoft recommends that you seek professional assistance for all
other device repairs, and that you use caution if undertaking do-it-yourself repairs. Opening and/or repairing your device can
present electric shock, device damage, fire, and personal injury risks, and other hazards.
WARNING: Risk in Repairs
Opening and/or repairing your device can present electric shock, device damage, fire, and personal injury risks, and
other hazards. Microsoft recommends that you seek professional assistance for device repairs, and that you use caution if
undertaking do-it-yourself repairs.
WARNING: Cleaning
The risk of fire, shock or damage to your Microsoft device during cleaning might be reduced by taking the following
precautions:
• Unplug all cables and turn your device off before cleaning.
• Only clean the exterior of your device.
• Clean your device with a dry cloth
• For devices with fans, vents, ports or similar openings:
• Gently clean the exterior surface of the fan, vent or other opening to remove any dust buildup.
• Do not insert objects into the fan, vents, ports, or other opening.
• Do not attempt to clean connectors through immersion in liquids. Only gently wipe and dry with a clean cloth.
WARNING: Photosensitive seizures
Some people may experience a seizure when exposed to flashing lights or patterns in moving images or video games. Even
people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause “photosensitive
seizures” while watching moving images or 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. Photosensitive seizures may also cause
loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling 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 seizures may be reduced by taking the following precautions:

• Sit farther from the video screen.
• Use a smaller video 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.
WARNING: Musculoskeletal disorders
Use of electronic input devices may be linked to serious injuries or disorders. When using a computer, 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 working at your computer. Symptoms like these can be associated with painful and
sometimes permanently disabling injuries or disorders of the nerves, muscles, tendons, or other parts of the body.
These musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) include carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, tenosynovitis, 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: overall health, stress and how one copes with it, medical and physical conditions,
and how a person positions and uses his or her body during work and other activities (including use of a keyboard or mouse).
The amount of time a person performs an activity may also be a factor.
Some guidelines that may help you work more comfortably with your device and possibly reduce your risk of experiencing an
MSD can be found at https://support.microsoft.com and xbox.com/playhealthy (Healthy Gaming Guide).
WARNING: Choking Hazard
This device may contain small parts that may be a choking hazard to children under 3 years. Keep small parts away from children.
WARNING: Using Video Gaming Accessories
Make sure children using video gaming accessories with their Xbox console play safely, within their limits, and that they
understand proper use of the console and accessories.
CAUTION: Hearing safety
Frequent or extended exposure to loud noise or sounds when using a headset or headphones can cause temporary or
permanent hearing loss. Individual susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss and potential hearing problems varies. Also,
the sound volume produced by a device may vary depending on the nature of the sound, device settings, and the headset or
headphones used. As a result, there is no single volume setting that is appropriate for everyone or for every combination of
sound, settings, and equipment.
Here are a few common-sense recommendations to minimize your exposure to loud noises or sounds when using a headset
or headphones with your device:
• Minimize your time listening to loud sound. All of the sound you are exposed to each day adds up. At maximum
volume, listening to music or other content on your device with a headset or headphones can permanently damage
your hearing in 15 minutes. If you are exposed to other loud sounds also, it takes less time listening at high volumes to
cause hearing damage.
• The more time you spend exposed to loud sounds, the more likely you are to damage your hearing. The louder the
sound, the less time that is required to damage your hearing.
• Always turn the volume on your device down before plugging a headset or headphones into your device. Set the
volume loud enough to hear clearly in quiet surroundings, and no louder.
