Installation

Connect your WIRELESS Controller’s receiver to your

PlayStation

2 console only when it is deactivated.

®

Pay attention to the correct placement of 2 AA batteries in the

controller, incorrect polarisation may render the WIRELESS

Controller defective. Turn on your PlayStation

2 console. To

®

ensure correct calibration of the analogue thumbsticks and the

action buttons, make sure that sticks and buttons remain in

their natural position when the controller is turned on using

the Vibration ON/OFF Button. Moving the sticks and/or pressing

the action buttons while the console starts up may result in

incorrect calibration and requires you to restart your

PlayStation

2 console and repeat the above steps.

®

Operating Instructions

Your WIRELESS Controller offers three operating modes, Digital,

Analogue and Turbo Mode. The LED entitled “ANALOG” indicates

the currently activated mode.

Use the ANALOG Button to switch between Analogue and

Digital Mode.

5

DIGITAL MODE: Thumbsticks are deactivated and buttons work

digitally only. There is no pressure sensitive functionality

whatsoever.

ANALOGUE MODE: Thumbsticks are operational and buttons

offer analogue, pressure sensitive functionality when used with

a PlayStation

2 console. Please refer to your game’s manual to

®

find out whether analogue functions are supported.

TURBO MODE: The WIRELESS Controller features a Turbo Mode

that comes in really handy in fast action games. It can be

assigned to any button of the WIRELESS Controller including

the D-Pad and L3/R3, making sure that the respective button’s

command is executed 16 times a second when the player

presses and holds this button. To program an action button

please press and hold the TURBO Button and then press the

button you would like to assign the turbo function to. You may

do this with as many buttons as you wish at once. To reset all

action buttons to normal operation, please hold Select and

Turbo simultaneously. The Analogue Mode LED also acts as an

indicator for TURBO Mode, flashing rapidly when TURBO Mode

is in use.

The °G WIRELESS Controller also features an advanced Turbo

Mode that goes even beyond regular Turbo operation: the

Turbo Hold function. This function allows you to not only

program action buttons to carry out their commands 16 times

6

a second when pressed, but also when the button is not pressed.

In order to achieve this, repeat the above programming steps

once. The WIRELESS Controller will then perform the buttons’

commands constantly until deactivated.

Please refer to the graphics below for a summary of the above.

Available Controls: [ , , , , L1, L2, L3, R1, R2, R3, up, down, left, right]

Vibration ON/OFF: When starting your PlayStation

2 console

®

the red LED of the WIRELESS Controller’s receiver will be lit up

while the green one flashes slowly, indicating that there currently

is no connection. Press the Vibration ON/OFF Button once for

less than one second to activate the controller. Within a few

seconds the green LED will stop flashing and light up constantly,

indicating a synchronised connection between console/receiver

and WIRELESS Controller. Your WIRELESS Controller is now ready

7

for use. To deactivate your WIRELESS Controller manually, please

press and hold the Vibration ON/OFF Button for two seconds.

Your WIRELESS Controller features a battery-saving sleep mode

which turns off the controller after 30 seconds in case a receiver

can’t be detected. Furthermore, the controller will also turn off

after three minutes without any operation, even if a wireless

connection with the receiver is established or the controller is

in Turbo Hold Mode. To continue playing please reactivate the

controller by pressing the Vibration ON/OFF Button once.

In-game-vibration can be turned on and off at any time using

the Vibration ON/OFF Button. Vibration is activated by default.

To (de)activate please press the button twice in quick succession.

The WIRELESS Controller will vibrate for one second to indicate

the (de)activation of the Vibration Mode.
