electrical Safety
As with many other electrical devices,
failure to take the following precautions
can result in serious injury or death from
electric shock or fire or damage to the
Xbox 360 video game and entertainment
system.
Select an appropriate power source for
your Xbox 360 console:
• Use only the power supply unit and
AC power cord that came with your
console or that you received from an
authorized repair center. If you are not
sure if you have the correct power
supply unit, compare the model number
on the power supply unit with the
model number specified on your
console. If you need a replacement
power supply unit or power cord,
you can find Xbox Customer
Support contact information at
www.xbox.com/support.
• Confirm that your electrical outlet
provides the type of power indicated on
the power supply unit (in terms of
voltage [V] and frequency [Hz]). If you
are not sure of the type of power
6
supplied to your home, consult a
qualified electrician.
• Do not use non-standard power
sources, such as generators or
inverters, even if the voltage and
frequency appear acceptable. Only use
AC power provided by a standard wall
outlet.
• Do not overload your wall outlet,
extension cord, power strip, or other
electrical receptacle. Confirm that they
are rated to handle the total current (in
amps [A]) drawn by the Xbox 360
console (indicated on the power supply
unit) and any other devices that are on
the same circuit.
• Do not connect any other devices
between the Xbox 360 power supply
unit and the Xbox 360 console or
between the power cord and the Xbox
360 power supply unit.
