Connecting Xbox Controllers; Using Xbox Controllers - Microsoft XBox Instruction Manual

Connecting and Disconnecting Xbox
Controllers
To connect an Xbox Controller, insert the Xbox Controller con-
nector into any controller port on the front of the Xbox console.
To disconnect, unplug the Xbox Controller connector from the
Xbox Controller port. When disconnecting, pull on the con-
troller connector, not the cable or inline release.
Do not touch Xbox Controller lead terminals or the Xbox Con-
troller ports with your fingers or allow metal parts to touch
them. Doing so may damage the Xbox Controller or the Xbox
console.
Using the Xbox Controller in Games
For information about using the Xbox Controller with a game,
see your game manual.
Inline Release
Each Xbox Controller lead has an inline release . This is a safety
feature designed to reduce the chance of the Xbox console
falling if the lead is pulled. If the Xbox console falls and hits
someone, especially a small child, it may cause serious injury.
To reduce the risk of such injuries or of damage to the Xbox
console, it is important to properly use the Xbox Controllers
and the inline release.
Use the Xbox Controller connector, not the inline release, to
routinely connect and disconnect the Xbox Controller. If an
inline release disconnects, simply reconnect it by aligning the
grooved indentations on the two parts of the inline release and
pressing the two parts completely together. The Xbox Control-
ler will not work unless the inline release is properly connected.
WARNING! Never tape, glue or otherwise prevent an inline
release from pulling apart.

Using xbox controllers

The inline release reduces, but does not eliminate, the risk of
the Xbox console being pulled off its surface. To further re-
duce the risk:
•
Do not allow anyone to pull on the Xbox Controllers or
controller leads in a way that causes the Xbox console
to move.
•
Do not allow Xbox Controller leads to become crossed
or tangled with one another.
•
Read and follow the instructions in Selecting a
Location for the Xbox Console on page 7.
