Installing the AA batteries

Pairing the motion controller

To pair the motion controller with the computer, do the following:

1. Remove the battery compartment cover from the motion controller.
2. Turn on the motion controller by pressing and holding the Windows button until the motion controller vibrates once and the constellation LEDs are solid on.
3. Enable Bluetooth pairing on the motion controller by pressing and holding the pairing button until the constellation LEDs begin pulsing slowly.
4. Enable Bluetooth pairing on the computer to discover and pair the motion controller. When connected, the motion controller vibrates once and the constellation LEDs are solid on.
5. Reinstall the battery compartment cover.

Updating the firmware

Connect the Lenovo Explorer headset to your computer and pair the controller with your computer. If the latest controller firmware is available, the firmware will be downloaded to the controller and installed automatically the next time you turn on the controller. During the installation process, controller LEDs are illuminated and keep blinking in a circular motion for 1-2 minutes. After the firmware update is completed, the controller will restart and reconnected to the headset.

Motion controller vibrations and constellation LEDs behavior

The motion controller vibrations and constellation LEDs indicate the status of the motion controller.

Notes:

• The motion controller enters sleep mode if it is idle for over 30 seconds. The motion controller automatically wakes up when it detects motion.
• The motion controller turns off automatically if it is idle for over three minutes.
• You can check the battery status by the battery-status icon on the motion controller in mixed reality. The icon is red when the battery power is low.
