seizures may be reduced by taking the following
precautions:
• Sit or stand farther from the TV screen.
• Use a smaller TV screen.
• Play in a well-lit room.

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, tendinitis, 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 the amount of time a person
performs an activity may 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 xbox.com/xboxone/playhealthy.
These guidelines address topics such as:
• Positioning yourself to use comfortable, not
awkward, postures.
• Keeping your hands, fingers, 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 qualified health professional.
WARNING: Choking Hazard
This device may contain small parts that may be
a choking hazard to children under 3. Keep small
parts away from children.
Make sure children play safely
Make sure children using any Xbox One accessory
together with the Xbox One console and Kinect
sensor play safely and within their limits, and make
sure that they understand proper use of the system.
Avoid glare
To minimize eyestrain from glare, try the following:
• Position yourself at a comfortable distance
from your television or monitor and the Kinect
sensor.
• Place your television or monitor and Kinect
sensor away from light sources that produce
glare, or use window blinds to control light
levels.
• Choose soothing natural light that minimizes
glare and eyestrain and increases contrast and
clarity.
• Adjust your television or monitor brightness
and contrast.
CAUTION: Prevent the console from falling
If the Xbox One falls and hits someone, especially
a small child, it could cause serious injury. To
reduce the risk of such injuries and damage to the
Xbox One console, set up the Xbox One according
to these instructions. Place the console on a
surface that:
• Is flat and level.
• Is stable and not likely to tip over.
• Allows all four feet of the console to be in
contact with the surface.
• Is not likely to allow the console to slip or slide
off.
• Is clean and free of dust and debris.
Position your Xbox One
Your console should only be used in the horizontal
position. If vertical positioning is desired, an official
Microsoft approved stand or equivalent must be
used. If you need to change the location of your
console, remove 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 One 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 20
degrees 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).

Extended exposure to high sound volumes
when using a headset may result in temporary
