the game console.

see if it works in the game or game menu.

4. Insert the Base Unit for the second Lynx into the Player-2 Controller port on the
game console.

5. Confirm the link between second Base Unit and second Lynx controller by
using the controller to see if it works in the game or game menu.

6. IMPORTANT – Confirm that each Lynx controller has a unique player number
(channel 1, 2, 3 or 4) and that it matches the player number selected on the
Base Unit.
