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.
