Note

Arrange the camera cable so that people and pets are not likely to trip over or accidentally pull on it as they move around or walk through the area. When the camera is not in use, you may need to disconnect the cable from the front or rear of the console to keep it out of the reach of children and pets. Do not allow children to play with the camera cable or wrap the cable around themselves.

Do not touch the camera cable terminals or lens glass with your fingers or allow metal parts to touch them. Doing so may damage the camera.

Never force a cable connector into a port. If the connector doesn't easily connect, flip it over and try again.

Set Up Xbox Live Vision on Your Xbox 360 Console

Before you can use your camera with your Xbox 360 system, make sure you've signed in to Xbox Live to automatically receive the latest Xbox Live update. For more information about connecting to Xbox Live, see your Xbox 360 Setup manual (Volume 1).

To connect to an Xbox 360 console:

1. Turn on your Xbox 360 console with no disc in the tray. When the Xbox Dashboard appears, connect the camera cable to one of the console's controller ports. The Ring of Light on the camera will blink to indicate that the camera is connected.
2. Position the camera on a stable base, pointed toward you or what you want to shoot. The Ring of Light on the camera will glow when actively shooting video.
3. For audio, connect the Xbox 360 Headset according to the instructions in your Xbox 360 Headset manual.

Set Up Xbox Live Vision on Your Windows PC

To connect to a PC:

1. Turn on your PC and connect the camera cable to an available USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed) port. Microsoft Windows XP will display the Found New Hardware Wizard.
   
   In the wizard, select the options to allow Windows Update to automatically find and install the free Xbox Live Vision driver file. Your computer needs this file in order to work with the camera.
2. Position the camera on a stable base, pointed toward you or what you want to shoot. The Ring of Light on the camera will glow when actively shooting video.

Cleaning Your Camera

Clean only with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Using cleaning solutions or attempting to clean connectors may damage your camera. For the lens, use only soft, dry, lint-free cloth or lens paper.

Make sure the camera cable connector is connected securely to a controller port on your console.

Blurry or Poor Video Quality

• Make sure the focus is adjusted on the camera lens. In general, turning the lens to the right moves the focal point farther out and turning it to the left moves the focal point closer in.
  
  
• Clean the camera lens if it becomes dirty.
• Video quality can be improved by shooting in a well-lit area and against a white or light background.
• Position the camera in a well-ventilated location near room temperature.
• Do not point the camera directly at a bright light or window.
