Electrical Safety

⚠️ WARNING: As with many other electrical devices, failure to take the following precautions can result in serious injury or death from electric shock, fire, or damage to the Xbox One console or Kinect sensor.

AC-Powered Devices

Select an appropriate power source for your Xbox One console:

⚠️ CAUTION: Cables and Cords

To reduce potential trip hazards or entanglement hazards, arrange any cables and cords so that people and pets are not likely to trip over or accidentally pull on them as they move around or walk through the area and do not allow children to play with cables and cords.

To avoid damaging the power cord and console:

If a power cord becomes damaged in any way, stop using it immediately. Visit support.microsoft.com for Xbox Customer Support contact information.

Unplug your Xbox One console during lightning storms or when unused for long periods.

Battery Powered Devices

⚠️ WARNING: Battery Safety

The following precautions apply to all products that use disposable or rechargeable batteries including lithium polymer. Improper battery use may result in serious injury, death, property damage, or damage to the product or related accessories as a result of battery fluid leakage, fire, overheating, or explosion. Released battery fluid is corrosive and may be toxic. It can cause skin and eye burns, and is harmful if swallowed. To reduce the risk of injury:

Use and Care of Your Xbox One Console

⚠️ WARNING: Do Not Attempt Repairs

Do not attempt to take apart, open, service, or modify the Xbox One console, Kinect sensor or accessories. Doing so could present the risk of electric shock, fire or other hazard, or damage to your Xbox One console, Kinect sensor or accessories. Evidence of any attempt to open and/or modify the Xbox console, Kinect sensor or accessories, including any peeling, puncturing, or removal of any of the labels, will void the Limited Warranty and render the Xbox One, Kinect sensor or accessories 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.

⚠️ WARNING: Do not allow the console, battery pack, 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:

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:

To clean game and other discs:

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 or 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:

While playing:

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:

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.

Play Healthy

⚠️ WARNING: Important Health Warnings about Playing Video Games

Photosensitive Seizures

A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these "photosensitive epileptic seizures" while watching video games.

These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye, or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects.

Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms—children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures. The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by taking the following precautions:

Musculoskeletal Disorders

Use of game controllers, keyboards, mice, or other electronic input devices may be linked to serious injuries or disorders. When playing video games, as with many activities, you may experience occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body. However, if you experience symptoms such as persistent or recurring discomfort, pain, throbbing, aching, tingling, numbness, burning sensation, or stiffness, DO NOT IGNORE THESE WARNING SIGNS. PROMPTLY SEE A QUALIFIED HEALTH PROFESSIONAL, even if symptoms occur when you are not playing a video game. Symptoms such as these can be associated with painful and sometimes permanently disabling injuries or disorders of the nerves, muscles, tendons, blood vessels, and other parts of the body.

These musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) include carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis, tenosynovitis, vibration syndromes, and other conditions.

While researchers are not yet able to answer many questions about MSDs, there is general agreement that many factors may be linked to their occurrence, including medical and physical conditions, stress and how one copes with it, overall health, and how a person positions and uses their body during work and other activities (including playing a video game).

Some studies suggest the amount of time a person performs an activity may be a factor.

Some guidelines that may help you work and play more comfortably and possibly reduce your risk of experiencing an MSD can be found in the Healthy Gaming Guide at xbox.com/xboxone/playhealthy. These guidelines address topics such as:

If you have questions about how your own lifestyle, activities, or medical or physical condition may be related to MSDs, see a qualified health professional.

⚠️ WARNING: Choking Hazard

This device may contain small parts that may be a choking hazard to children under 3. Keep small parts away from children.

Make sure children play safely

Make sure children using any Xbox One accessory together with the Xbox One console and Kinect sensor play safely and within their limits, and make sure that they understand proper use of the system.

Avoid glare

To minimize eyestrain from glare, try the following:

⚠️ CAUTION: Prevent the console from falling

If the Xbox One falls and hits someone, especially a small child, it could cause serious injury. To reduce the risk of such injuries and damage to the Xbox One console, set up the Xbox One according to these instructions. Place the console on a surface that:

Position your Xbox One

Your console should only be used in the horizontal position. If vertical positioning is desired, an official Microsoft approved stand must be used. If you need to change the location of your console, remove discs, power down the system and remove all cables before moving the console.

Prevent the console from overheating

Do not block any ventilation openings on the console. Do not place the console on a bed, sofa, or other soft surface that may block openings. Do not place the console in a confined space, such as a bookcase, rack, or stereo cabinet, unless the space is well ventilated.

Do not place the console near any heat sources, such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or amplifiers.

Using the Xbox One in an environment where the external temperature varies widely and quickly might damage the console. When moved to a location with a temperature difference of 20 degrees or more from the previous location, allow the console to come to room temperature before turning it on. The console's operating temperature is +5°C (+41°F) to +35°C (+95°F).

⚠️ WARNING: Hearing Safety

Extended exposure to high sound volumes when using a headset may result in temporary or permanent hearing loss. To reduce the risk of hearing loss, set the volume loud enough to hear clearly in quiet surroundings, and no louder.

Minimize your time listening to loud sound.

⚠️ CAUTION: Personal Medical Devices

Radio-frequency emissions from electronic equipment can negatively affect the operation of other electronic equipment, causing them to malfunction. Although the device is designed, tested, and manufactured to comply with regulations governing radio frequency emission in countries such as the United States, Canada, the European Union, and Japan, the wireless transmitters and electrical circuits in the device may cause interference in other electronic equipment. Always take the following precautions:

Persons with pacemakers

Other medical devices

If you use any other personal medical device, contact the medical device manufacturer or your physician to determine whether it is appropriate for you to use other electronic devices near your medical device.
