IMPORTANT HEALTH WARNINGS ABOUT PLAYING VIDEO GAMES Photosensitive Seizures 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 symptomschildren 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 or stand 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, tendinitis, 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. If you have questions about how your own lifestyle, activities, or medical or physical condition may be related to MSDs, see a qualified health professional. Disposable Battery Safety These precautions apply to all products that use rechargeable or disposable batteries. Improper use of batteries may result in battery fluid leakage, overheating, 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). Do not allow metal objects to touch the battery terminals on the device; they can become hot and cause burns. Remove the batteries if they are worn out or before storing your device for an extended period of time. Always remove old, weak, or worn-out batteries promptly and recycle or dispose of them in accordance with Local and National Disposal Regulations. 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 manufacturers recommendations for cleanup. Insert batteries according to the instructions in this manual. Caution Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Use and replace only with correct size and type (alkaline, zinc-carbon, or zinc-
chloride) of batteries. Notice To Travelers Before boarding any aircraft or packing a wireless device in luggage that will be checked, remove the batteries from the wireless device or turn the wireless device off (if it has an on/off switch). Wireless devices can transmit radio frequency (RF) energy, much like a cellular telephone, whenever batteries are installed and the wireless device is turned on (if it has an on/off switch). SET UP YOUR SPEED WHEEL Before you can use your speed wheel, you'll need to complete the following tasks:
Install the speed wheel software on your console. Insert the batteries into the wheel. Start and wirelessly connect your wheel to your console. Install the Speed Wheel Software Use one of the following methods to install the speed wheel software on your console. Install the software by updating your Xbox console on Xbox LIVE:
1 Start your console. 2 Connect to Xbox LIVE. When you connect to Xbox LIVE, your console updates automatically. The speed wheel software is included in the update. Installing from Xbox LIVE is recommended for the latest speed wheel software. If you do not have Xbox LIVE access, use the supplied software disc. Install the software using the included disc:
1 Start your console and load the disc. The update will install automatically. 2 When the installation confirmation message appears, remove the disc, and then restart your console. Install the software using a USB drive:
1 Use your computer to navigate to www.xbox.com/live. 2 Download the speed wheel software to your computer. 3 Connect a USB drive to your computer and save the speed wheel software to the USB drive. You can also burn the software onto a compact disc. 4 Disconnect the USB drive from your computer, connect it to your console, and then restart your console. If you burned the software onto a compact disc, insert the disc into your console and the software updates automatically. Insert Batteries The speed wheel uses AA (LR6) alkaline batteries. The battery release button and battery door are on the bottom of your speed wheel. To insert batteries into the speed wheel:
1 Turn the speed wheel upside down. 2 Press the battery release button. The battery door opens. 3 Insert two new AA (LR6) batteries with their positive (+) and negative () ends positioned as shown on the battery compartment.

Connect Your Speed Wheel to Your Console You'll need to connect your speed wheel and console before you can use the wheel to play a game. To connect your speed wheel and console:
1 Start your console. If you haven't installed the speed wheel software on your console, do so now by following the instructions in Install the Speed Wheel Software. 2 To start your speed wheel, press and hold the Start or Guide button until the controller lights flash. 3 On your console, press the Connect button. 4 On your wheel, press the Connect button. The light on the right handle of the wheel flashes while connecting. When the wireless connection is completed, one segment on the wheels's light ring illuminates. USING YOUR SPEED WHEEL Speed Wheel Controls Your speed wheel has several controls that you can use for wheel setup and gameplay. These include buttons, lights, and triggers, which are located on the handle bars and in the center of the speed wheel. Center Controls The controls in the center of the speed wheel include the Start button, Back button, and the Guide button. The light ring surrounds the Guide button. Start and Back button behavior is the same as on your Xbox controller. Press the Guide button to turn your console on. Once on, pressing the Guide button gives you immediate access to the Xbox Guide. To turn off your console, press and hold the Guide button for three seconds and confirm your selection. When you connect the speed wheel to your console, it is assigned a specific quadrant, which glows green to indicate the controller's number and position. Each subsequent speed wheel connected to the console (up to four) is assigned an additional quadrant. Handle Bar Controls The controls on the handle bar include the accelerator trigger, the brake trigger, and the A, B, X, and Y buttons. Squeezing the accelerator trigger on the right handle bar makes your vehicle go faster. The A, B, X, and Y buttons behave the same as on your Xbox controller. Squeezing the brake trigger on the left handle bar makes your vehicle slow down. The directional pad behaves the same as on your Xbox controller. Starting and Using Your Speed Wheel When you use your speed wheel with driving games, it acts like a steering wheel and ignores unwanted motion like pitch, yaw, and roll. However, when you use your wheel with a game that supports motion on three axes, the wheel responds accordingly. To start your speed wheel:
1 Press and hold the Start button or Guide button until the controller lights flash. 2 Wait for the wheel to be assigned a quadrant. 3 When the wheel is assigned, you can use the wheel to play your favorite game.
