To connect the adapter to your Xbox 360 console, follow these steps:

1.	Connect the tabs on the adapter to the two slots on the back of your console near the Ethernet port and the audio-visual (AV) port.
2.	Disconnect any cable that is connected to the Ethernet port, and then connect the USB connector to the USB port next to the adapter.
3.	Flip up the antenna. Note The antenna is designed to swivel on only one axis. Do not swivel the antenna in any direction other than parallel to the adapter.

Important Do not use the Xbox 360 Wireless Networking Adapter or its antenna to lift the console. The adapter could break, and the console could fall.
