Cyborg evo Wireless User Manual

Getting Started

Features:

Battery
Your Cyborg evo Wireless uses one AA alkaline battery (supplied) which should give up to 50 hours of
use. To fit the battery, open the battery compartment on the bottom of your joystick by sliding back the
cover. Insert the AA battery in the direction shown and replace the cover.

LED power status

The Saitek Cyborg evo Wireless features an LED (Light Emitting Diode) on the top of the stick which
shows how much power is left in the battery. A green light means there is between 20-80% of power
remaining; amber means there is between 10-20% power remaining; and red means there is less than
10% power and you will soon have to replace the battery.

Plugging in the wireless receiver

Unclip the wireless receiver (or dongle) from the bottom of the evo Wireless joystick and plug into one
of your computer's USB ports.
Sleep mode
Your Cyborg evo Wireless features a sleep mode to conserve battery life. After ten minutes of no
activity, the stick will power down and the head LED will switch off. Press any of the buttons to wake
the stick.
Scan Button
In certain circumstances, there may be interference to the signal between your stick and the wireless
receiver dongle in your computer caused by other wireless devices nearby. To switch to an
interference-free wireless channel, press the scan button on the underside of your stick once.
Radio frequency
The Cyborg evo Wireless operates at a frequency of 2.402 – 2.480 GHz
Installing joystick driver software
Important note: Calibrating your joystick
The Saitek Cyborg evo Wireless stick uses a dynamic auto-calibration system, which is designed to
give you more accurate control. To maximise the effectiveness of calibration, ensure that the stick is
moved fully forwards, backwards and to both sides after booting up your PC and before loading up
your game.
