WARNING: AC power supply and power cord safety

• Always select and use an appropriate AC power supply and/or power cord for your device. Failure to take the following precautions can result in serious personal injury or death from electric shock or fire or in damage to your device.
• To select an appropriate power source for your device:
  • We recommend you use genuine Microsoft power supply units (PSUs) and AC power cords. A genuine Microsoft PSU and/or AC power cord was provided with your device. Genuine Microsoft PSUs or AC power cord can also be purchased from a Microsoft-authorized retailer and at https://store.microsoft.com/devices.
  • Use only AC power provided by a standard (mains) wall outlet. Do not use non-standard power sources, such as generators or inverters, even if the voltage and frequency appear acceptable.
  • Confirm that your electrical outlet provides the type of power indicated for your device (in terms of voltage [V] and frequency [Hz]). If you are unsure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult a qualified electrician.
  • Do not overload your wall outlet, extension cord, power strip, or other electrical receptacle. Confirm that they are rated to handle the total current (in amps [A]) drawn by your device and any other devices using the same circuit.
  • For devices where the AC prongs may be folded for storage, make sure its prongs are fully extended before plugging the AC power supply for your device into the power (mains) outlet.
  • For devices equipped with power cords with removable prongs and a universal power supply, make sure the prong assembly is properly configured for the power outlet and fully seated into the power supply before plugging the AC power supply into a power (mains) outlet.

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.

To avoid jamming the disc drive and possibly damaging your discs or device:

• Always remove discs before moving the device.
• Never use cracked discs. They can shatter and jam or damage internal parts inside your device.
• Always return discs to their storage containers when they are not in the disc drive. Do not store discs in direct sunlight, near a heat source, or on your Xbox Series X. Always handle discs by their edges. To clean game and other discs:
  • Hold discs by the edges; do not touch the disc surface with your fingers.
  • Clean discs using a soft cloth, lightly wiping from the center outward.
  • Do not use solvents; they can damage the disc. Do not use disc cleaning devices.

Avoid smoke and dust

• Do not use the console in smoky or dusty locations. Smoke and dust can damage the console, particularly the optical disc drive.

Metallic objects and stickers

• Do not place metallic items or stickers near or on the Xbox console, as they can interfere with controller, networking, and eject and power buttons.
• 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.

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

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 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: Device stability Do not place your device on uneven or unstable surfaces. Be sure to hold it securely when it is carried and not via an accessory, cable, or cord. Failure to hold your device securely could cause it to fall or hit a person or object, which could damage your device, damage other property, or cause personal injury.

Position your Xbox

• Your console may be used in either vertical or horizontal position (note the small feet on the console that apply to each position). When changing position, power down your console (and if your console contains an optical disc drive, remove any discs). If you need to change the location of your console, remove any discs, power down the system and remove all cables before moving the console.

Prevent the console from overheating:

• Do not block any ventilation openings on the console. Do not place the console on a bed, sofa, or other soft surface that may block openings. Do not place the console in a confined space, such as a bookcase, rack, or stereo cabinet, unless the space is well ventilated.
• Do not place the console near any heat sources, such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or amplifiers.
• Using the Xbox console in an environment where the external temperature varies widely and quickly might damage the console. When moved to a location with a temperature difference of 11ºC (20ºF) or more from the previous location, allow the console to come to room temperature before turning it on. The console’s operating temperature is +5ºC (+41ºF) to +35ºC (+95ºF).

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.
  • Do not increase the volume after you start listening. Your ears can adapt over time so that high volume sounds normal, but the high volume could still damage your hearing.
  • Do not increase the volume to block outside noise. The combination of outside noise and sound from your headset or headphones can damage your hearing. Sealed or noise-cancelling headphones can reduce outside noise so that you don’t have to turn up the volume.
  • If you can’t understand someone nearby speaking normally, turn down the volume. Sound that drowns out normal speech can damage your hearing. Even with sealed or noise-cancelling headphones, you should be able to hear nearby people speak.
  • To minimize the potential for hearing damage, keep the volume low enough that you can carry on a conversation with people nearby.
  • Headphones and headsets can attract dangerous objects like staples and paper clips. Always check your headset or headphones before use.
  • Use of a headset or headphones while driving may be prohibited or restricted in your area; check your local laws and regulations for further information.
• Finally, be aware of hearing loss symptoms. It’s a good idea to have your hearing checked regularly by an audiologist. Stop using a headset or headphones with your device and have your hearing checked if:
  • You experience any hearing loss symptoms.
  • You hear ringing in your ears.
  • Your speech sounds muffled, dull, or flat.

WARNING: Exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy

• Devices that contain Wi-Fi and Bluetooth® radio transmitters have been designed, manufactured and tested to meet the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Industry Canada and European guidelines for RF exposure and Specific Absorption Rate.
• To ensure that your exposure to RF energy generated by the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth radios does not exceed the exposure limits set forth by these guidelines, orient devices with display screens such that the display side is not directly in contact with your body (i.e., placing the display side face down on your lap or upper body.
• Additional information about RF safety can be found on the FCC website

Personal medical devices

Radio-frequency emissions and magnetic fields from electronic equipment can negatively affect the operation of other electronic equipment, causing them to malfunction. Although your device is designed, tested, and manufactured to comply with regulations governing radio frequency emission in countries such as the United States, Canada, the European Union, and Japan, the wireless transmitters and electrical circuits in the device may cause unintentional interference in other electronic equipment. Persons with pacemakers should always take the following precautions:

• The American Heart Association recommends that a minimum separation of 15 cm (6 inches) be maintained between a wireless device and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker.
• If you use your mobile device with a case or holder select one without metallic parts.
• Do not carry your device in a chest pocket.
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is occurring immediately turn off your device.

If you use a medical device other than a pacemaker, consult the device manufacturer or your physician for information and instructions about the use of other electronic devices near your medical device
