If at any point you want to quickly disable the chip, activate the chip (

without any other buttons pressed. The light will flash rapidly several times then go off. The
chip is now disabled. If you were previously in a mode and want to quickly get everything back
on, repeat the steps and it will re-enter where you left off.

Chip Modes

One feature that makes the Arbiter 3 Elite Controllers so powerful (not available on A3 LiTE
controllers) is the ability to totally change its list of modes, effectively making the chip like a
whole new product. For example some chips on the market have modes specifically for Call of
Duty, others a general all-rounder's, but no other chip has the ability to be all of those in one.
This is what the A3 'Chip Select' is. You can change the A3 into a Specific List of modes that
best suit you!

Master Reset

As the Arbiter 3 has many Features that can be turned on and off and rapid fire speeds and
other timings that can be adjusted by the user sometimes you just want to factory restore the
chip to the beginning in case you forget that is active and what is altered.

To master reset the chip, activate (
) then hold down
for 6 seconds. After 6
seconds the light will fade in then fade out (pulse). Your chip is now reset.
