PROFESSIONAL, even if symptoms occur when you are not working at your
computer. Symptoms like these can be associated with painful and sometimes
permanently disabling injuries or disorders of the nerves, muscles, tendons, or
other parts of the body.
These musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) include carpal tunnel syndrome,
tendonitis, tenosynovitis, 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: overall health, stress
and how one copes with it, medical and physical conditions, and how a person
positions and uses his or her body during work and other activities (including use
of a keyboard or mouse). The amount of time a person performs an activity may
also be a factor.
Some guidelines that may help you work more comfortably with your device
and possibly reduce your risk of experiencing an MSD can be found at

WARNING: Choking Hazard
This device may contain small parts that may be a choking hazard to children under
3 years. Keep small parts away from children.
WARNING: Using Video Gaming Accessories
Make sure children using video gaming accessories with their Xbox console play
safely, within their limits, and that they understand proper use of the console and
accessories.
CAUTION: Hearing safety
Frequent or extended exposure to loud noise or sounds when using a headset
or headphones can cause temporary or permanent hearing loss. Individual
susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss and potential hearing problems varies.
Also, the sound volume produced by a device may vary depending on the nature
of the sound, device settings, and the headset or headphones used. As a result,
there is no single volume setting that is appropriate for everyone or for every
combination of sound, settings, and equipment.
Here are a few common-sense recommendations to minimize your exposure to
loud noises or sounds when using a headset or headphones with your device:
• Minimize your time listening to loud sound. All of the sound you are exposed
to each day adds up. At maximum volume, listening to music or other
content on your device with a headset or headphones can permanently
damage your hearing in 15 minutes. If you are exposed to other loud sounds
also, it takes less time listening at high volumes to cause hearing damage.
• The more time you spend exposed to loud sounds, the more likely you are
to damage your hearing. The louder the sound, the less time that is required
to damage your hearing.
• Always turn the volume on your device down before plugging a headset or
headphones into your device. 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 could
still damage your hearing.
• Do not increase the volume to block outside noise. The combination of
outside noise and sound from your headset or headphones can damage
your hearing. Sealed or noise-cancelling 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
4
volume. Sound that drowns out normal speech can damage your hearing.
Even with sealed or noise-cancelling headphones, you should be able to
hear nearby people speak.
• To minimize the potential for hearing damage, keep the volume low enough
that you can carry on a conversation with people nearby.
• Headphones and headsets can attract dangerous objects like staples and
paper clips. Always check your headset or headphones before use.
• Use of a headset or headphones while driving may be prohibited or restricted
in your area; check your local laws and regulations for further information.
Finally, be aware of hearing loss symptoms. It's a good idea to have your hearing
checked regularly by an audiologist. Stop using a headset or headphones with your
device and have your hearing checked if:
• You experience any hearing loss symptoms.
• You hear ringing in your ears.

negatively affect the operation of other electronic equipment, causing them to
malfunction. Although your 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 unintentional interference in other
electronic equipment.
Persons with pacemakers should always take the following precautions:
• The American Heart Association recommends that a minimum separation of
15 cm (6 inches) be maintained between a wireless device and a pacemaker
to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker.
• If you use your mobile device with a case or holder select one without
metallic parts.
• Do not carry your device in a chest pocket.
• If you have any reason to suspect that interference is occurring immediately
turn off your device.
If you use a medical device other than a pacemaker, consult the device
manufacturer or your physician for information and instructions about the use of
other electronic devices near your medical device.
