Selecting a Location for
the Xbox CONSOLE
Select a Safe Location
When selecting a location for the Xbox video game system,
consider the following topics and the
Important Safety
Information
on page 4.
Prevent the Xbox Console from Falling
If the Xbox console falls and hits someone, especially a small
child, it may cause serious injury. To reduce the risk of such
injuries and damage to the Xbox console, place the Xbox
console on a surface that:
•
is flat and level.
•
is stable and not likely to tip over.
•
allows all four feet of the Xbox console to be in
contact with the surface.
•
is clean and free of dust or debris.
•
is not likely to allow the Xbox console to slip or
slide off.
Take Precautions with Cables and Leads
Arrange all cables and leads 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 Xbox console is not in use, you may need to dis-
connect all cables and leads in the front and rear of the
Xbox console to prevent children from pulling on them. Do
not allow children to play with cables or leads.
Prevent the Xbox Console from
Overheating
Do not block any ventilation openings. Do not place the
Xbox console on a bed, settee or other soft surface that
may block ventilation openings.
Do not place the Xbox console in a confined space, such as
a bookcase, rack or stereo cabinet, unless the space is well
ventilated.
Do not install the Xbox console near any heat sources,
such
as radiators, heating grates, stoves or other devices (includ-
ing amplifiers) that produce heat.
Avoiding Damage to Your Television or
Other AV Equipment
Do not use with certain televisions.
Some televisions, espe-
cially front- or rear-projection types, may be damaged if any
video games, including Xbox games, are played on them. Static
images presented during the normal course of gameplay may
“burn” into the screen, causing a permanent shadow of the
static image to appear at all times, even when video games
are not being played. Similar damage may occur from static
images created when placing a video game on hold or pause.
Consult your television owner’s manual to determine if video
games can be played safely on your set. If you are unable to
find this information in the owner’s manual, contact your tele-
vision dealer or the manufacturer to determine if video games
can be played safely on your set.
Before connecting or disconnecting any AV device (for example,
television or VCR), make sure that the power to the Xbox
console and to the AV device is turned off. This will reduce the
risk of electrical damage to the equipment.
To avoid damage to AV equipment or to the Xbox console, do
not touch AV cable terminals or the Xbox AV port with your
fingers or allow metal parts to touch them.
