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
8
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.
