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:
• Positioning yourself to use comfortable, not awkward,
postures.
• Keeping your hands, fingers, and other body parts
relaxed.
• Taking breaks.
• Developing a healthy lifestyle.
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:
• Position yourself at a comfortable distance from your
television or monitor and the Kinect sensor.
• Place your television or monitor and Kinect sensor
away from light sources that produce glare, or use
window blinds to control light levels.
• Choose soothing natural light that minimizes glare
and eyestrain and increases contrast and clarity.
• Adjust your television or monitor brightness and
contrast.
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:
• Is flat and level.
• Is stable and not likely to tip over.
• Allows all four feet of the console to be in contact with
the surface.
• Is not likely to allow the console to slip or slide off.
• Is clean and free of dust and debris.
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 +5ºC
(+41ºF) to +35ºC (+95ºF).
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.
• Do not increase the volume after you start listening.
Your ears can adapt over time so that high volume
sounds normal, but the high volume may still damage
your hearing.
• Do not increase the volume to block out outside noise.
The combination of outside noise and sound from
your headphones can damage your hearing. Sealed or
noise-canceling headphones can reduce outside noise
so that you don't have to turn up the volume.
• If you can't understand someone nearby speaking
normally, turn down the volume. Sound that drowns
out normal speech can damage your hearing. Even
with sealed or noise canceling headphones, you
should be able to hear nearby people speak.
Minimize your time listening to loud sound
• The more time that you spend exposed to high sound
volumes, the more likely you are to damage your
hearing. The louder the sound, the less time that is
required to damage hearing.
• At maximum volume, listening to music on the
device with headphones can permanently damage
your hearing in 15 minutes. Even lower volumes can
damage hearing if you are exposed to it for many
hours. All of the sound that you are exposed to during
a day adds up. If you are exposed to other loud sound,
it takes less time listening at high volumes to cause
hearing damage.
• To safely use the device without a time limit, keep
the volume low enough that you can carry on a
conversation with people nearby.
