ADVANCED FUNCTIONS

• Examples of possible applications:
  • Switching the functions of buttons
  • Switching the 2 mini-sticks
    (in this case, you must map the 4 directions of the first mini-stick to the 4 directions of the second)
  • Switching the D-Pad with a mini-stick
    (in this case, you must map the 4 directions of the D-Pad to the 4 directions of the mini-stick in question).
• Programming/switching procedure:

The two functions are now switched.

Your programming is now erased.

Please note that your programming also disappears each time the gamepad is disconnected, or when the gamepad or console restarts.

USING MORE THAN ONE T-WIRELESS GAMEPAD AT THE SAME TIME

(In multiplayer mode)

You can use up to 4 T-Wireless gamepads at the same time (in multiplayer mode).

To do so, channel detection must absolutely be carried out manually, as described below.

• Procedure:
  • For 2 seconds, simultaneously press and hold the 2 CONNECT buttons on the gamepad and the receiver you wish to use (8 and 12).
  • Repeat this procedure for other players.

Once a connection has been established, the LEDs stop flashing and stay lit.

TROUBLESHOOTING AND WARNINGS

• My gamepad doesn't function properly or doesn't seem to be properly calibrated:
  • In the event of malfunction during use due to electrostatic emission, please exit the game, switch off your gamepad and unplug the receiver from your console or PC. Resume normal game play by plugging the receiver back in, then switch on the gamepad and launch the game again.
  • Never move the mini-sticks when connecting your gamepad (to avoid any calibration problems).
• I can't configure my gamepad:
  • In your game's "Options/Controller/Gamepad" menu: select the most appropriate configuration.
  • Please refer to you game's user manual or online help for more information.
  • You can also use your gamepad's "programming" function to resolve this type of problem.
• On PC, the vibrations don't stop:
  • Decrease the intensity of force effects in your game's controller options or adjust the forces in the gamepad's control panel.

When you're done using your gamepad, we recommend that you always set your gamepad's POWER switch (13) to the OFF position (to extend battery life).
