Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows

The Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows lets you connect up to four wireless headsets and four wireless controllers to a computer running Microsoft Windows XP with Service Pack (SP2) or a later version of Windows.

Note The receiver is not intended for use with an Xbox 360 console.

1. Remove the green label from the USB connector on the receiver.
2. Insert the USB connector into a powered USB 2.0 port on the computer.

Note The USB ports on the front of your computer are probably not powered USB 2.0 ports. Try using the ports on the back of your computer.

A green light on the receiver indicates that the unit is working.

3. If the Add New Hardware Wizard starts automatically, select Install the software automatically (Recommended), and then click Next. If the wizard installs the software successfully, click Finish and then skip to Step 3: Connect an Xbox 360 wireless accessory to your computer, below.

If the wizard fails to install the software, continue with the next section.

Note Before you can use wireless accessories with your computer, you might need to install some software on your computer.

If you have the installation disc that came with your Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver, you can install the software from that disc.

1. Insert the installation disc into the CD or DVD drive of your computer. If the Setup program does not automatically start, change to your CD or DVD drive, and then run the Setup program.
2. Follow the steps in the wizard to install the software.

Note You might be prompted to restart the computer.

Step 3: Connect an Xbox 360 wireless accessory to your computer

1. Turn on the Xbox 360 wireless accessory that you want to use with your receiver.

For example, to turn on a controller, press and hold the Guide button in the middle of the controller. If you do not know how to turn on the accessory, read the documentation for that accessory.

2. On the receiver, press the connect button. The light flashes green.

3. On the wireless accessory, press the connect button. For example, on the controller, the connect button is on the back.

Green flashing lights on the accessory and on the receiver indicate that the device is trying to establish a connection. When the lights stop flashing and remain lit, the accessory is connected. For example, on a wireless controller, one of the lights around the Guide button will remain lit.
