english 9 Connecting Xbox controllers Connecting and Disconnecting Xbox Controllers To connect an Xbox Controller, insert the Xbox Controller connector 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 controller connector, not the cable or inline release. Do not touch Xbox Controller lead terminals or the Xbox Controller 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. Y B X A BACK STAR T Using xbox controllers 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 Controller will not work unless the inline release is properly connected. WARNING! Never tape, glue or otherwise prevent an inline release from pulling apart. The inline release reduces, but does not eliminate, the risk of the Xbox console being pulled off its surface. To further reduce 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. http://www.xbox.com
