Here are the step-by-step instructions: 1) Make sure your console is on and you're signed in and connected to Xbox Live.

If your console needs an update, you'll be prompted to install one. 2) Plug the Stereo Headset Adapter into the bottom of your controller. 3) Plug in a headset (a headset must be plugged in so the adapter will turn on). 4) Plug the big end of the included USB cable into the port on the side of the console. 5) Instructions to install the update should automatically be displayed. Follow the instructions, and don't disconnect the USB cable while the update is in progress. (The process can take up to 3 minutes.) 6) Instructions to install the update should automatically be displayed.
