USE AND CARE OF YOUR XBOX ONE CONSOLE
WARNING: Do Not Attempt Repairs
Do not attempt to take apart, open, service, or modify the product,
accessories, or power supply. Doing so could present the risk of electric
shock, fire or other hazard, or damage to your Xbox One system. Any
evidence of any attempt to open and/or modify this device, including
any peeling, puncturing, or removal of any of the labels, will void the
Limited Warranty and render the Xbox One ineligible for authorized repair.
Modifying your console can result in a permanent ban from Xbox Live,
which is required for game play and some other console uses.
Usage and cleaning
WARNING: Do not allow the console or sensor to become wet. To
reduce the risk of fire or shock, do not expose the console or sensor to rain
or other types of moisture.
Use in accordance with these instructions:
• Do not use near any heat sources.
• Do not position the console vertically.
• Only use attachments/accessories specified by Microsoft.
• Disconnect the console power supply from electrical power to prevent
the console from being turned on and off or the disc from being
ejected during cleaning.
• Clean the outside of the Xbox One only. Make sure that no objects are
inserted into ventilation openings.
• Use a dry cloth—do not use abrasive pads, detergents, scouring
powders, solvents (for example, alcohol, gasoline, paint thinner, or
benzene), or other liquid or aerosol cleaners.
• Do not use compressed air.
• Do not use DVD head cleaner devices.
• Do not attempt to clean connectors.
• Clean the console feet and the surface on which the Xbox One rests
with a dry cloth.
• Clean the surface on which the Kinect sensor rests with a dry cloth.
Avoid smoke and dust
Do not use the console in smoky or dusty locations. Smoke and dust can
damage the console, particularly the optical disc drive.
Disc use
To avoid jamming the disc drive and damaging discs or the console:
• Remove discs before moving the console.
• Never use cracked discs. They can shatter inside the console and jam
or break internal parts.
• Always return discs to their storage containers when they are not in the
disc drive. Do not store discs in direct sunlight, near a heat source, or
on your Xbox One. Always handle discs by their edges. To clean game
and other discs:
◦ Hold discs by the edges; do not touch the disc surface with your
fingers.
◦ Clean discs using a soft cloth, lightly wiping from the center
outward.
◦ Do not use solvents; they can damage the disc. Do not use
disc-cleaning devices.
Metallic objects and stickers
Do not place metallic items or stickers near or on the Xbox One, as they can
interfere with controller, networking, and eject and power buttons.
CAUTION: Stationary images in video games can “burn” into some
TV screens, creating a permanent shadow. Consult your TV owner’s
manual of manufacturer before playing games.
PLAY SPACE
WARNING: Gameplay with your Kinect sensor may
require varying amounts of movement. To reduce the
risk of injury or property damage, take the following
precautions before playing:
• Make sure you have enough space to move freely.
• Look in all directions (right, left, forward, backward, down, and up).
Make sure there is nothing you might trip on—toys, furniture, or loose
rugs, for example.
• Make sure your play space is far enough away from windows, walls,
stairs, etc.
• Be aware of children and pets in the area. If necessary, move objects or
people out of the play space.
While playing:
• Stay far enough away from your TV to avoid contact.
• Keep enough distance from other players, bystanders, and pets. This
distance may vary between games, so take account of how you are
playing when determining how far away you need to be.
• Stay alert for objects or people you might hit or trip over. People and
objects can move into the area during play, so always be alert to your
surroundings.
• Make sure you always have good footing while playing:
• Play on a level floor with enough traction for game activities.
• Make sure to use proper footwear for gaming or are barefoot, if
appropriate. Do not wear high-heels, flip-flops, etc.
Don’t overexert yourself
Gameplay with the Kinect sensor may require varying amounts of physical
activity.
Consult a doctor before using the sensor if you have any medical condition
or issue that affects your ability to safely perform physical activities, or if
you:
• are or may be pregnant,
• have heart, respiratory, back, joint, or other orthopedic conditions,
• have high blood pressure,
• have difficulty with physical exercise, or
• have been instructed to restrict physical activity.
Consult your doctor before beginning any exercise routine or fitness
regimen that includes using the Kinect sensor.
Do not play under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and make sure your
balance and physical abilities are sufficient for any movements while gaming.
Take breaks periodically
Stop and rest if your muscles, joints, or eyes become tired or sore.
If you experience excessive fatigue, nausea, shortness of breath, chest
tightness, dizziness, discomfort, or pain, STOP USING IMMEDIATELY and
consult a doctor.
