WaveBird™ Wireless Controller
Please read the Nintendo GameCube instruction booklet before using this accessory.
The Nintendo GameCube WaveBird Wireless Controller allows you to play games on your Nintendo GameCube without the inconvenience of long cords stretching between the
player and the video game console.
Please note that the WaveBird Controller does not have a built-in rumble feature like the original Nintendo GameCube Controller.
BATTERY LEAKAGE:
Leakage of battery acid can cause personal injury as well as damage to your WaveBird Controller. If battery leakage occurs, thoroughly wash the affected skin and clothes. Keep
battery acid away from your eyes and mouth. Leaking batteries may make popping sounds.
To avoid battery leakage:
• Do not mix used and new batteries (replace all batteries at the same time).
• Do not mix alkaline with any other type of battery (carbon zinc, nickel cadmium, etc).
• Do not mix different brands of batteries.
• Use only alkaline or carbon zinc batteries. Do not use nickel cadmium (nicad) or nickel metal hydride (nimh) batteries.
• Do not leave used batteries in the WaveBird Controller. When the batteries are losing their charge, the Power Indicator will become dim. When this happens, promptly replace all
used batteries with fresh new batteries.
• Do not leave batteries in the WaveBird Controller for long periods of non-use.
• Do not leave the Power Switch ON after the batteries have lost their charge. When you finish using the WaveBird Controller, always slide the Power Switch OFF.
• Do not recharge the batteries.
• Do not put the batteries in backwards. Make sure that the positive (+) and negative (-) ends are facing in the correct directions. Insert the negative end first. When removing
batteries, remove the positive end first.
• Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.

Operation of the WaveBird Controller
Installing Batteries
Remove the battery cover on the back of the WaveBird and insert two AA batteries as shown (Illustration 1). Be sure to insert the negative
(-) ends first. Replace the battery cover.
NOTE: Fresh high quality alkaline batteries will supply up to 100 hours of use, however this will vary depending on surrounding
temperature, type of game play, type of battery and how long the WaveBird is left on when not in use.
Removing Batteries
Remove the cover on the back of the WaveBird and remove two AA batteries. Remove the positive (+) ends first. Replace the battery cover.
Controller Neutral Position Reset
NOTE: If the L or R Buttons are pressed or the Control Stick or C Stick are moved out of neutral
position when the power is turned ON, those positions will be set as the neutral position, causing
incorrect game control during game play.
To reset the controller, release all buttons and sticks to allow them to return to the correct neutral position,
then turn the power OFF and then ON again on the WaveBird Controller.
Installing and Removing the Receiver
1. Set the same channel on both the WaveBird and the Receiver. When using more than
one WaveBird and Receiver, use a different channel for each pair of WaveBirds and Receivers.
2. Insert the Receiver into the Nintendo GameCube Controller Socket (Illustration 2). Be careful
to insert the Receiver into the Controller Socket straight, parallel to the socket as shown. The
Controller Socket used will vary depending upon the game. Please read the Game Disc
instruction booklet for the game you are playing for more information about which Controller
Socket to use.
3. To remove the Receiver, pull it out of the Controller Socket (Illustration 3). Be careful to pull
the Receiver straight out of the Controller Socket, parallel to the socket as shown.
Using the WaveBird Controller
1. Turn on the WaveBird Controller by sliding the Power Switch UP. The Power Indicator should light up.
2. Use the WaveBird Controller as you would use the original Nintendo GameCube Controller. Please read the Game Disc instruction booklet for the game you are playing for
specific instructions on game controls.
