Disposable Battery Safety
Improper use of batteries may result in battery fluid leakage, heating, 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:
• Keep batteries out of reach of children.
• Do not heat, open, puncture, mutilate, or dispose of batteries in fire.
• Do not mix new and old batteries or batteries of different types (for example, carbon-zinc and
alkaline batteries).
• Remove batteries if they are worn out or before storing for an extended period of time. Do not
leave batteries in the AA battery holder when it is not installed in the controller.
• If a battery leaks, remove all batteries, taking care to keep the leaked fluid from touching your
skin or clothes. If fluid from the battery comes into contact with skin or clothes, flush skin with
water immediately. Before inserting new batteries, thoroughly clean the battery compartment with a
damp paper towel, or follow the battery manufacturer's recommendations for cleanup.
• Dispose of old, depleted, or leaking batteries in accordance with the battery manufacturer’s
instructions and Local and National Disposal Regulations.
Set Up Your Xbox 360 Wireless Controller
Before you can use your Xbox 360 Wireless Controller with your Xbox 360 console, you need to:
1. Insert a battery pack. The wireless controller uses only the AA battery pack (provided) with AA
disposable batteries or the Microsoft Xbox 360 Rechargeable Battery Pack (sold separately).
2. Introduce the controller to the console by wirelessly connecting the two.
Insert Batteries
To insert batteries into the wireless controller AA battery pack:
1. Press the tab on the top of the AA battery pack and pull down to detach it from the controller.
2. Insert two new AA (LR6) batteries with their positive (+) and negative (–) ends positioned as
shown on the underside of the battery pack. For best performance, AA rechargeable batteries are
not recommended.
3. Slide the AA battery pack back into place on the controller and push in to lock.
Remove Controller Batteries Aboard Aircraft
Before boarding any aircraft or packing the wireless controller in luggage that will be checked,
remove any batteries from the wireless controller. The wireless controller can transmit radio
frequency (RF) energy, much like a cellular telephone, whenever batteries are installed.
Connect Your Controller
Up to four controllers, wired and wireless, can be actively connected to a console at one time. Each
connected controller gets a quadrant on the Ring of Light. Before you can connect a wireless
controller, at least one quadrant must be free (unlit). To disconnect a wireless controller, press and
hold the wireless controller Xbox Guide button for three seconds, and then turn it off. For a wired
controller, disconnect the cable connector.
To connect your wireless controller to your console:
1. Press and hold down the Xbox Guide button until the controller powers on.
2. If your console is not on, press the power button to turn on the console.
3. Press and release the connect button on the console.
4. Press and release the connect button on the controller.
5. After the Ring of Light on the controller and console spin and flash once, the controller is
connected. The quadrant that remains lit indicates the controller's position.
Turn Your Console and Controller On
To turn your console and controller on, press the Xbox Guide button on your controller.
To turn on your console only, press the power button on your console. To turn on your controller
only, press the Start button on your controller.
Turn Your Console and Controller Off
To turn your console and controller off, press and hold the Xbox Guide button on your controller for
three seconds. Then select whether you want to turn off just your controller or both your controller
and your console. (Selecting the console will turn off both the console and all connected
controllers.)
To turn off your console only, press the power button on your console.
NOTE
• When you turn off your console, your controller will still be connected the next time you turn it
on.
• Your controller is connected to only one console at a time. You can connect to a new console at
any time, but your connection to the previously connected console will be lost.
• The Xbox 360 Wireless Controller works only within 30 feet (nine meters) of the console. Objects
between the controller and the console can reduce this range.
Using Your Controller
Xbox Guide Button
The Xbox Guide button in the center of your controller puts the Xbox 360 experience at your
fingertips. Press the Xbox Guide button to turn your console on. Once on, pressing the Xbox Guide
button gives you immediate access to the Xbox Guide. To turn off your console, press and hold the
Xbox Guide button for three seconds and confirm your selection.
Ring of Light
Composed of four quadrants, the Ring of Light surrounds the Xbox Guide button on the controller
and the power button on the console. When you connect a controller to your console, it is assigned
a specific quadrant, which glows green to indicate the controller's number and position. Each
subsequent controller connected to the console (up to four) is assigned an additional quadrant.
If system problems should arise, the Ring of Light on the console will flash combinations of red. For
more information, see "Troubleshooting" on page ??.
Expansion Port
The expansion port on your controller lets you connect expansion devices like the Xbox 360 Headset
(sold separately) to your controller. The port features a 2.5mm audio connector. For more
information, see the instruction manual for your controller expansion device.
Hearing Loss
Extended exposure to high volumes when using a headset may result in temporary or permanent
hearing loss. Some unapproved third-party headsets may produce higher sound levels than
approved Xbox 360 Headsets.
Charge Port
Your wireless controller is equipped with a charge port on the front of the controller. The charge
port works exclusively with the Xbox 360 Play & Charge Kit (sold separately).
Clean Your Controller
Clean only with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Using cleaning solutions or attempting to clean
connectors may damage your controller.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter problems, try the possible solutions provided below.
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, mirrors, and refrigerators.
• Make sure the front of the console is positioned in the direction of the controller.
• 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 AA battery pack into the
controller, and the repeat the steps given in "Connect Your Controller."
