USING THE DUAL-MODE DIGITAL THROTTLE
The Saitek P220 comes complete with an innovative Dual-Mode Digital Throttle, which offers
you two methods of controlling the gas/brake and forwards/backwards controls in your game.
• Mode 1: Sequential 4-step acceleration – For simple sequential acceleration, press the
top of the throttle once and the first LED will light up. Press it again for the second LED to
light up and so on, until all four are lit at maximum acceleration. For deceleration, press
the bottom of the throttle in the same way.
• Mode 2: Smooth progressive acceleration – For a progressive acceleration/deceleration
and analog-style smoothness, hold the throttle down with long presses. You can practice
this in the Game Controller Properties window Test area (as described previously in the
installation instructions).

PLAY IT SAFE!
Whether you're cruising the skies
in a jet, or heading
for the finish line in
an exciting race,
you should always
be aware of how
you're sitting and how you're hold-
ing the gamepad! Try not to stay
in the same position for too long,
and be sure to take breaks now
and then. Be smart—don't take a
chance on straining your wrists,
hands, or fingers!
