IMPORTANT HEALTH WARNINGS ABOUT PLAYING VIDEO GAMES
Photosensitive Seizures
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual
images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who
have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these
"photosensitive epileptic seizures" while watching 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. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury
from falling down 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 epileptic seizures
may be reduced by taking the following precautions:
• Sit farther from the television screen.
• Use a smaller television 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 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, tendonitis, 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
that the amount of time a person performs an activity may also 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 (available at www.xbox.com).
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.

INFORMATIONS IMPORTANTES RELATIVES À LA SÉCURITÉ
LORSQUE VOUS JOUEZ À DES JEUX VIDÉO
Crises d'épilepsie liées à la photosensibilité
Pour un très faible pourcentage de personnes, l'exposition à certaines images, notamment aux lueurs
ou motifs clignotants pouvant apparaître dans les jeux vidéo, risque de provoquer une crise d'épilepsie
liée à la photosensibilité, même chez des personnes sans antécédent épileptique.
Les symptômes de ces crises peuvent varier; ils comprennent généralement des étourdissements,
une altération de la vision, des mouvements convulsifs des yeux ou du visage, la crispation ou le
tremblement des bras ou des jambes, une désorientation, une confusion ou une perte de
connaissance momentanée. Ces crises peuvent également provoquer une perte de connaissance
ou des convulsions pouvant engendrer des blessures dues à une chute sur le sol ou à un choc
avec des objets avoisinants

CONTROLLER MANETTE
Hearing Loss
Extended exposure to high volumes when using a headset may result in temporary or permanent
hearing loss. Some unapproved third-party headsets may produce higher sound levels than approved
Xbox 360 Headsets.
The Inline Release
Your controller cord has an inline release. This is
a safety feature designed to reduce the chance of the Xbox 360 console or a computer falling when the
cord is pulled. If the console or a computer falls and hits someone, especially a small child, it could
cause serious injury. To reduce the risk of injuries or damage to the console or a computer, it is
important to use the controller and the inline release properly.
Use the controller connector, not the inline release, to routinely connect and disconnect the
controller. If an inline release disconnects, simply reconnect it by aligning the grooved indentations
and pressing the two parts completely together. The controller will not work unless the inline
release is connected properly.
Never tape, glue, or otherwise prevent an inline release from pulling apart.
The inline release reduces, but does not eliminate, the risk of the console or computer being pulled
off its surface. To further reduce the risk:
• Do not allow anyone to pull on the controller or controller cord in a way that causes the
console or computer to move.
• Do not allow controller cords to become crossed or tangled with one another.
SET UP YOUR XBOX 360 CONTROLLER
Connect Your Controller to Your Xbox 360 Console
To connect the Xbox 360 Controller to the Xbox 360 console, insert the controller cord connector into
any USB port on the front of the console. To disconnect, pull the controller cord connector out. Be sure
to pull on the connector, not the cable.
NOTE
Do not touch controller cord terminals with your fingers or allow metal parts to touch them. Doing so
may damage the controller or the console.
Turn on Your Xbox 360 Console
To turn on your Xbox 360 console, press the Xbox Guide button or Start.
Connect the Controller to Your PC Running Windows XP
Xbox 360 Controller software for Windows enables the controller to work with a PC running Windows
XP. To download the software, go to www.windowsgaming.com. You must first install the software,
then connect the Xbox 360 Controller to your computer's USB port.
After installing the Xbox 360 Controller for Windows software and connecting the controller to a
computer's USB port, you can verify that the controller is working by clicking Game Controllers in the
Windows Controller panel. See your game manual to determine whether your game supports the Xbox
360 Controller.

Cessez immédiatement de jouer et consultez un médecin si vous ressentez de tels symptômes.
Il est conseillé aux parents de surveiller leurs enfants et de leur poser des questions concernant
les symptômes ci-dessus; les enfants et les adolescents sont effectivement plus sujets à ce genre
de crise que les adultes. Les précautions suivantes peuvent réduire le risque d'une crise
d'épilepsie photosensible :
• S'asseoir loin de l'écran de télévision.
• Utiliser un écran de télévision de petite taille.
• Jouer dans une pièce bien éclairée.
• Éviter de jouer en cas d'envie de dormir ou de fatigue.
Si vous ou un membre de votre famille avez des antécédents de crises d'épilepsie, consultez un
médecin avant de jouer.
Troubles musculo-squelettiques
Il est possible que l'utilisation de manettes de jeu, de claviers, de souris ou d'autres périphériques
d'entrée électroniques entraîne de graves blessures ou troubles.
Comme pour de nombreuses activités, il est possible que vous ressentiez occasionnellement de
l'inconfort dans vos mains, vos bras, vos épaules, votre cou ou d'autres parties de votre corps en
jouant à des jeux vidéo. Cependant, si vous ressentez de façon persistante ou récurrente un
inconfort, une douleur, un élancement, des picotements, un engourdissement, une sensation de
brûlure ou une raideur, N'IGNOREZ PAS CES SIGNES AVANT-COUREURS. CONSULTEZ RAPIDEMENT
UN PROFESSIONNEL DE LA SANTÉ QUALIFIÉ, même si les symptômes surviennent lorsque vous ne
jouez pas à un jeu vidéo. De tels symptômes peuvent être associés à de douloureux, et parfois
permanents, troubles et maladies affectant les nerfs, les muscles, les tendons, les vaisseaux
sanguins et d'autres parties du corps. Ces troubles musculo-squelettiques (TMS) comprennent,
entre autres, le syndrome du canal carpien, la tendinite, la ténosynovite et le syndrome vibratoire.
Les chercheurs ne sont pas encore en mesure de répondre à de nombreuses questions sur les
TMS, mais ils s'entendent généralement pour dire que de nombreux facteurs peuvent contribuer à
leur apparition, y compris les maladies, la condition physique, le stress et la façon de le gérer,
l'état de santé général, la position du corps lors du travail et des autres activités (comme les jeux
vidéo). Certaines études laissent croire que la durée d'une activité est également un facteur.
Certaines directives peuvent vous aider à travailler et à jouer confortablement et possiblement à
réduire le risque de souffrir d'un TMS. Elles se trouvent dans le Guide sur la façon saine de jouer
(disponible sur www.xbox.com). Parmi ces directives, notons les suivantes :
• Adoptez des positions confortables.
• Assurez-vous de détendre vos mains, vos doigts et les autres parties de votre corps.
• Prenez des pauses.
• Adoptez un mode de vie sain.
Si vous avez des questions concernant un possible lien entre votre mode de vie, vos activités, votre
état de santé ou votre condition physique et les TMS, consultez un professionnel de la santé qualifié.
