Use Near Water

• To reduce the risk of fire or shock, do not use this device near water and do not expose it to rain or moisture. Do not attempt to dry the device with a hair dryer or a microwave oven.

Hearing Safety

Set the volume loud enough to hear clearly in quiet surroundings, and no louder.

• Do not increase the volume after you start listening. Your ears can adapt over time so that high volume sounds normal, but the high volume may still damage your hearing.
• Do not increase the volume to block out outside noise. The combination of outside noise and sound from your headphones can damage your hearing. Sealed or noise-canceling headphones can reduce outside noise so that you don’t have to turn up the volume.
• If you can’t understand someone nearby speaking normally, turn down the volume. The sound that drowns out normal speech can damage your hearing. Even With sealed or noise-canceling headphones, you should be able to hear nearby people speak.

Minimize Your Time Listening to Loud Sound

The more time you spend exposed to loud sounds, the more likely you are to damage your hearing. The louder the sound, the less time it takes to damage hearing.

• Minimize your time listening to loud sounds. At maximum volume, listening to music on the device with headphones can permanently damage your hearing in 15 minutes.
• Even lower volumes can damage hearing if you are exposed for many hours.
• All of the sound that you are exposed to during a day adds up. If you are exposed to another loud sound, it takes less time listening to high volumes to cause hearing damage.
• To safely use the device with no time limit, keep the volume low enough that you can carry on a conversation with people nearby.

Be Aware of Hearing Loss Symptoms

• Stop using this device and have your hearing checked if you experience:
• Any hearing loss.
• You hear ringing in your ears.
• Your speech sounds muffled. The sound seems dull or flat. It is a good idea to have your hearing checked regularly by an audiologist.

For more information, see www.microsoft.com/support

Be Aware of Your Surroundings

In order to reduce the potential risk of injury due to distractions while using this device, be careful and attentive while driving, riding a bicycle, or walking. Use of the device alone or with headphones (even if used only in one ear) while driving a vehicle or riding a bicycle is not recommended and is illegal in some areas. Check and obey the laws and regulations on the use of mobile devices in the areas where you drive or ride. Using a mobile device while driving or riding may be distracting. Give full attention to driving or riding and to the road. Always keep the volume low enough to hear people talking and sounds that might indicate danger, like fire alarms.

Airbag Avoidance

For vehicles equipped with airbags, do not place the device or other objects on or near the airbags. If an airbag deploys, objects placed on or near the airbag could cause serious personal injury or even death.

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 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 video screen.
• Use a smaller video screen.
• Play in a well-lit room.
• Do not play when you are drowsy or fatigued.
• If you or any ot your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing.
