4. Follow the on-screen instructions. You may need to enter information provided by your ISP in the
System area of the Xbox Dashboard.
Troubleshoot Your Connection
If your Xbox 360 console cannot connect automatically, you may need to manually configure your
network settings in the Xbox Dashboard. Some Internet service providers (ISP's) require specific
settings, including host name, MAC address, and ISP user name and password (for PPPoE
authentication). If you are unsure about whether you need this information, check with your ISP.

Sign Up for Xbox Live
To create your account, select Xbox Live from the Xbox Dashboard and follow the instructions on
the screen.
Communicate on Xbox Live
Use your Xbox 360 Headset to chat and communicate with your friends while on Xbox Live.
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.
Connect Your Headset to Your Controller
1. Turn down the volume by rotating the volume control all the way to the left. Insert the 2.5 mm
headset connector into the controller expansion port at the back of your game controller.
2. Put on your headset and adjust the microphone.
NOTE
Correct placement of the headset and microphone is critical to using your headset successfully.
Make sure the headset goes over the top of your head, not around the back of your head. You may
rotate the microphone and earpiece to your right or left side. Position the microphone about one
inch (2.54 cm) from your mouth and off to one side. This will ensure that it doesn't transmit your
breathing into a chat session. As you adjust the microphone, make sure the microphone opening is
pointed toward your mouth and not rotated on its axis.
