Wireless Controller Doesnt Work

Disc Doesnt Eject

Disconnect your console from power and position it horizontally. Insert a straightened paper clip into the yellow-labeled round hole on the left side of the console, near the front, between the ventilation slats. The tray will eject slightly, and you can pull the tray all the way out by hand.
Press the Xbox Guide button to turn on the wireless controller, then connect it to your console (see Connect Additional Controllers). If lights spin longer than 15 seconds when connecting: Move the controller closer to the console. Make sure the batteries are fresh. Keep the console and controller at least three feet away from large metal objects, such as file cabinets and refrigerators. Metallic decorations or stickers on the console or controller can interfere with wireless controller performance. Remove decorations and try connecting again. Make sure the front of the console is positioned in the direction of the controller and away from nearby walls. Cordless phones (2.4 GHz), wireless LANs, wireless video transmitters, microwave ovens, some mobile/ cell phones, and Bluetooth headsets can interfere with the operation of the controller. Turn these off or unplug them and retry connecting. If nothing else works, turn off your console, remove and reinsert the batteries into the controller, then reconnect the controller to the console.
Cant Connect to Xbox LIVE or Home Network
If you cant connect to Xbox LIVE or your home network, restart your network equipment. To restart your network equipment: 1 Turn off your console and your network equipment. If a network device, such as a modem or router, doesnt have a power button, disconnect it from power. 2 Wait one minute. 3 Turn on each network device in sequence from the wall outlet. For most home networks, the sequence will be (1) modem, (2) router, (3) Xbox 360 console. Wait for each device to come online fully before turning on the next. 4 From the Xbox Dashboard, test your Xbox LIVE connection. Make sure your wireless network equipment is within range, and potentially interfering devices such as wireless phones are not nearby. Also, check that your specific network settings are correctly entered in the Xbox Dashboard system settings. If you still cant connect to Xbox LIVE or your home network, visit www.xbox.com/support for more help.

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: Sit farther from the TV screen. Use a smaller TV screen. Play in a well-lit room. Do not play when you are drowsy or fatigued. If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing.

Photosensitive Seizures

Operating Environment

IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THIS WARRANTY DO NOT USE YOUR XBOX 360 S OR ACCESSORY. RETURN IT TO MICROSOFT FOR A REFUND. This Warranty gives You specific legal rights. You may also have other rights which vary from State to State or Province to Province.

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, tendonitis, 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 that the amount of time a person performs an activity may also 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 www.xbox.com. 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. I f you have questions about how your own lifestyle, activities, or medical or physical condition may be related to MSDs, see a qualified health professional.

reGuLationS For Customers in the United States
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy. If not installed and used in strict accordance with the instructions given in the printed documentation and/or onscreen help files, the device may cause harmful interference with other radio-communications devices (AM/FM radios, televisions, baby monitors, cordless phones, etc.). There is, however, no guarantee that RF interference will not occur in a particular installation. To determine if your hardware device is causing interference to other radio-communications devices, disconnect the device from your computer or remove the devices batteries (for a battery operated device). If the interference stops, it was probably caused by the device. If the interference continues after you disconnect the hardware device or remove the batteries, turn the device off and then on again. If the interference stopped when the device was off, check to see if one of the input/output (I/O) devices is causing the problem. Disconnect the I/O devices one at a time and see if the interference stops. If this hardware device does cause interference, try the following measures to correct it: Relocate the antenna of the other radiocommunications device (AM/FM radio, television, baby monitor, cordless phone, etc.) until the interference stops. Move the hardware device farther away from the radio or TV, or move it to one side or the other of the radio or TV. Plug the device into a different power outlet so that the device and radio or TV are on different circuits controlled by different circuit breakers or fuses. If necessary, consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for more suggestions.
