WARNING
Before using this product, read this manual for important safety and health information. Keep all manuals for future reference. For replacement manuals, go to

1. General
WARNING: Photosensitive Seizures
A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including  ashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these „photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching video games. These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including light-headedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects. Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you
experience any of these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms – children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures. The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by taking the following precautions:
Sit farther from the TV screen.
• Use a smaller TV screen.
• Play in a well-lit room.
• Do not play when you are drowsy or fatigued.
If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing.
WARNING: Musculoskeletal disorders
Use of game controllers, keyboards, mice, or other electronic input devices may be linked to serious injuries or disorders. When playing video games, as with many activities, you may experience occasional discomfort in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body. However, if you experience symptoms such as persistent or recurring discomfort, pain, throbbing, aching, tingling, numbness, burning sensation, or stiffness, DO NOT IGNORE THESE WARNING
SIGNS. PROMPTLY SEE A QUALIFIED HEALTH PROFESSIONAL, even if symptoms occur when you are
5
Page 6
not playing a video game. Symptoms such as these can be associated with painful and sometimes permanently disabling injuries or disorders of the nerves, muscles, tendons, blood vessels, and other parts of the body. These musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) include carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, tenosynovitis, vibration syndromes, and other conditions.
While researchers are not yet able to answer many questions about MSDs, there is general agreement that many factors may be linked to their occurrence, including medical and physical conditions, stress and how one copes with it, overall health, and how a person positions and uses their body during work and other activities (including playing a video game). Some studies suggest that the amount of time a person performs an activity may also be a factor. If you have questions about how your own lifestyle, activities, or medical or physical condition may be related to MSDs, see a quali ed health professional.
Attention!
The device must not be exposed to rain or humidity
• in order to avoid risk of  re and the danger of electric shock. Operating temperature: 0°C – 40°C.
• The maximum operation time of the wheel with
continuous Force feedback activity is 1 hour. Let the wheel cool down for a few minutes before you continue. Long playing may cause health risks. Take a break
• of 5 minutes every 20 minutes, and do not play for more than 2 hours per day. We strongly advise you to not drive a vehicle
• immediately after using a video game. Utilisation of the vibration and Force Feedback
• function may cause damage to your health. In case of interferences with other wireless 2.4 GHz
• devices, the interfering devices must be removed or switched off. Not intended for children under the age of 3
• years. Contains small pieces. Danger of swallowing!
• Do not open the casing of the device.
• The device only contains components that cannot
• be repaired by the user and opening will void the warranty.
WARNING: Electrical Safety
As with many other electrical devices, failure to take the following precautions can result in serious injury or death from electric shock or  re or damage to the racing wheel.

If you use AC power, select an appropriate power source:
Use only the power supply and AC power cord that
• came with your racing wheel or that you received from an authorized repair center. Do not use non-standard power sources, such as
• generators or inverters, even if the voltage and frequency appear acceptable. Only use AC power provided by a standard wall outlet. To avoid damaging the AC power cord:
Protect the cord from being pinched or sharply
• bent, particularly where it connects to the power outlet and the racing wheel. Do not jerk, knot, sharply bend, or otherwise
• abuse the power cord. Do not expose the power cord to sources of

The Porsche 911 Turbo S Wheel must not be opened or modi ed. Endor® AG expressly prohibits analysis and utilisation of the electronics, hardware, software and  rmware contained in the controller. In case dif culties occur in connection with utilisation of the Porsche 911 Turbo S Wheel, please use the following guide for elimination of errors. On the website further details and contact data.
Malfunctions on Playstation 3
` Game does not recognize the Porsche wheel:
Please switch the wheel to compatibility mode.
` Wheel switches to PC mode after starting a game:
Please enter PS3 mode again.
` Saving the game is not possible:
Please use the SIXAXIS controller to save the game and navigate in the system menu.
Malfunctions on Xbox 360
Forza Motorsport 3 does not detect the 900° wheel rotation: Make sure you start the Xbox 360 with the on/off button on the console and not by pressing the Xbox 360 Guide Button on the wheel. Make sure you select 900 for

Clutch or 6-speed gear shift is not working at all
Please make sure that your game supports this
• feature. Please check if you have chosen the right settings
• in the options menu of the game. Please make sure that the gear stick cable is
• connected properly. Please make sure that the gear stick is calibrated.
• If you bought the shifters separately you will have to calibrate the 7GS shifter before you can use it. Please test the functionality on the PC if possible.
• In GranTurismo 5: Prologue you need to press the
• triangle button in the game in order to activate the clutch.
Wheel is not working properly
Please check if the game is supporting the wheel
• and if you selected the right settings in the options menu of the game. Make sure the latest version of the Porsche wheel
• driver is installed (PC only) Please make sure that the power cable is connected
• properly. After the power switch is pressed the wheel should automatically self calibrate Please check if there is a connection between the
• RF dongle and the wheel. The LEDs on the dongle
must shine permanently. In case it does not, try to renew the binding (further info in the section 6.4). In general we highly recommend installing a
• separate and dedicated PCI USB controller card only for the PWTS in order to avoid con icts with other USB devices and to get maximum performance of your wheel. If the wheel is connected by cable and the dongle
• is plugged to the same or another device, the wheel will use the cable connection. Some older PC games don’t support enough
• buttons to make use of all features of the wheel Some racing games are not optimized for racing
• wheels. Even if they can be played with the PWTS they could work better with a gamepad or a keyboard.
Force Feedback strength gets weaker
Under certain circumstances like it can happen that the Force feedback Motor of the wheel might be in danger to overheat. The built in temperature sensor will automatically reduce the power of the Force Feedback effects until the normal operating temperature is reached.
Problems with USB headset
Some PC with AMD processor have problems with Force feedback wheels. In such a case please install a USB 2.0
30

PCI card and use it for the Porsche wheel.
