TurboFire® Wireless Controller

for PS3

- User Guide

Congratulations on your purchase of Datel’s state-of-the-art TurboFire Wireless Controller for PS3. TurboFire is the only 3rd party PS3 controller to offer 100% compatible communication with the PS3 console using genuine Bluetooth protocol.

It faithfully recreates all of the functionality of the PS3’s SIXAXIS controller including vibration feedback, motion sensing and full analogue input. In addition, the TurboFire Wireless Controller enhances your gaming with a programmable Rapid Fire function and new more ergonomic design.

The TurboFire Wireless Controller uses two standard AA batteries for power.

 If rechargeable AA batteries are used, they cannot be charged using the

USB connection on the controller. Instead they should be charged using a suitable standalone charger.

 Do not use damaged or leaking batteries.  Do not mix standard and rechargeable batteries.  Do not expose the controller to temperatures in excess of 40

C or below

-10oC.

The TurboFire Wireless Controller has been designed to be as ergonomic as possible but as with any gaming peripheral you are advised to take regular breaks during your gaming session especially if any discomfort occurs.

Please read the safety instructions (opposite) regarding battery safety.

1. Press the ‘Battery compartment button’ and remove the battery

compartment from the back of the controller.

2. Insert either 2x standard AA batteries or 2x rechargeable AA batteries into

the battery compartment, ensuring that you orientate them as shown on the inside of the moulding.

3. Re-attach the battery compartment to the controller, ensuring that it

latches correctly.

Before you can use the TurboFire Wireless Controller for the first time you need to register or ‘pair’ the controller with your PS3.

You only need to pair the controller with your system once.

Switch the console on and then connect the controller to it using the supplied USB cable. Press the ‘PS’ button to pair the two devices.

Switch the PS3 on

(the power light will be solid green)

After pairing or resetting the console you need to activate the controller so that it is assigned a player number. To do this, wait for the console to boot and then press the PS button once.

The player number indicator lights will flash briefly and then settle on a number. The LED that stays illuminated is that controller’s player number.

The TurboFire Wireless Controller is equipped with a unique programmable Turbo Rapid Fire function that can boost your firepower in any PS3 game. The Turbo Rapid Fire function has 3 speed settings and can be assigned to a wide range of buttons.

By default, Turbo Rapid Fire is assigned to the R2 button but different games will use different buttons for actions like jump, shoot, block etc. In order for you to get the most out of the rapid fire function you can choose exactly which button or buttons it is assigned to.

To program which buttons will use rapid fire, press and hold the TURBO button and then any one of the buttons shown in the illustration below. When you have made your selection, release the TURBO button. Turbo Rapid Fire can be enabled on the following 8 buttons:
