Photosensitive seizures
A very small percentage of people may
experience a seizure when exposed to
certain visual images, including ashing
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.
Musculoskeletal DisorDers
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, ngers, 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 qualied health professional.
select a location for Your
racing Wheel
The racing wheel can be lap or table
mounted. If you mount the racing wheel to
a table, make sure that it does not fall.
Arrange all cables and cords so that
people and pets are not likely to trip over
or accidentally pull on them as they move
around or walk through the area. When the
racing wheel is not in use, you may need to
disconnect all cables and cords to keep them
out of the reach of children and pets. Do not
allow children to play with cables and cords.

SET UP YOUR RACING WHEEL
Before you can use your racing wheel with your Xbox 360 console, you need to:
• Install the racing wheel software on your Xbox 360 console.
• Connect the pedal base to the racing wheel.
• If table mounting is desired, attach the table clamp to a table and attach the racing wheel to
the clamp.
• Connect the racing wheel’s AC power cord to a standard wall outlet or insert batteries.
The racing wheel uses only the AA battery pack with AA disposable batteries (provided) or,
alternately, the Xbox 360 Rechargeable Battery Pack (sold separately).
• Introduce the racing wheel to the console by wirelessly connecting the two.
Install the Racing Wheel Software on Your Console
Your console needs a system update before you can use it with the racing wheel.
To update your console:
1 Turn on your console and load the supplied software disc. The update will install
automatically.
2 When the installation con rmation message appears, remove the disc and begin setting up
your new hardware.

Connect the Pedal Base to the
Racing Wheel
To connect the pedal base to the racing
wheel, connect one end of the RJ-11
cable to the RJ-11 port on the pedal
base and the other end to the port
on the back of the racing wheel.
To streamline your system’s appearance,
thread both the RJ-11 cable and the power
cord (if used) through the cable-management
area on the underside of the pedal base.
NOTE
The racing wheel requires a straight-through
RJ-11 cable (included). Do not use a crossover
RJ-11 cable with the racing wheel.
Attach the Table Clamp
The racing wheel can be used for either lap
or table mounting. The table clamp stabilizes
the wheel during gameplay—especially
convenient when force feedback is engaged.
To attach the table clamp:
1 Loosen the clamp’s screw and make sure
the quick-release lever on the front of the
clamp is open (not pressed at), then slide
the clamp onto the edge of your table. Take
care not to pinch your ngers.
2 Hand-tighten the screw until the t is snug.
Do not overtighten the screw, as this may
damage the table surface.
3 Push the quick-release lever at.

Attach the Racing Wheel to the Clamp
To attach the racing wheel to the table
clamp, angle it toward you so that the guide
pins on the clamp t into the corresponding
sockets on the base of the racing wheel.

the clamp, press the release button
and lift the racing wheel from the
clamp’s guide pins, back-end rst.
Connect to Power
To connect the racing wheel to power,
either connect the AC power supply to a
standard wall outlet, or insert batteries
(provided). While connected to AC
power, your racing wheel will continue
to use wireless signals for gameplay.
Connect to power by completely inserting
the power supply cord into the power input
on the back of the racing wheel until it
stops. Connect the AC power cord into the
power supply until it stops, then connect
the power cord to a standard wall outlet.

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 re or damage to the racing wheel.
If you use AC power, select an appropriate power source:
• The racing wheel’s power input is 24V DC @ 1A. Use only the power supply and AC power
cord that came with your racing wheel or that you received from an authorized repair
center.
• Do not use nonstandard 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.
To avoid damaging the AC power cord:
• Protect the cord from being pinched or sharply bent, particularly where it connects to the
power outlet and the racing wheel.
• Do not jerk, knot, sharply bend, or otherwise abuse the power cord.
• Do not expose the power cord to sources of heat.
• When disconnecting the power cord or power supply, pull on the plug—do not pull on
the cord.
If the power cord becomes damaged in any way, stop using it immediately and contact Xbox
Customer Support for a replacement.
Unplug your racing wheel’s power cord during lightning storms or when unused for long
periods of time.

Disposable Battery Safety
Improper use of batteries may result in battery uid leakage, overheating, or explosion. Risk
of re if batteries are replaced by an incorrect type. Released battery uid 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.
