Controller

Antenna Receiver: Used to transmit and receive data from the controller to

the game console.

Directional Pad: The D-pad controls the direction in which the character

moves. This is the primary directional control while in Digital Mode.

Analog Sticks: The two analog sticks each control two axes (X-and Y-axis).

Different software titles will allow you to modify the way that the analog sticks
react in the games. While in Analog Mode, any software title that is Vibration
Function Compatible will cause the Lynx to vibrate at different levels, depending on
actions taking place from within the game (e.g., being hit, crashing, or shooting).

NOTE : NOT ALL GAMES ARE VIBRATION FUNCTION COMPATIBLE. LOOK FOR THE
“VIBRATION FUNCTION COMPATIBLE” ICON ON THE BACK OF THE PACKAGE OR
INSTRUCTION MANUAL FOR THE GAME THAT YOU ARE PLAYING.

ENGLISH

Shoulder Buttons (L1, L2, R1, and R2): These are action buttons and

their specific functions depend on the software being used.

Action Buttons ( ) : These buttons are used to perform

various actions, depending on the software. For more details, see the software
instruction manual.

Start Button: This button is generally used to make selections in the menus

and for pausing the game. For more details, see the software instruction manual.

Select Button: This is a standard button that allows you to do various things,

depending on the software. For more details, see the software instruction manual.

Mode Button: The Lynx has two different modes; Analog Controller Mode,

Steering Wheel Mode and Digital Mode. The current mode is indicated by the
color of the [MODE] Button on the faceplate of the controller:

Red Light - ANALOG MODE
Light Off - DIGITAL MODE

(Refer to “CONTROL MODES” for instructions on this feature.)

Reset Button: The Antenna Receiver unit features a [RESET] button. The

[RESET] button will tell the Antenna Receiver to find a new clear transmission
channel if interference is experienced. Refer to “RESETTING THE CONTROLLER”
for instructions on this feature.

POWER SAVE MODE

The Lynx comes with a switch that will turn off the controller to save batteries
when not in use. This switch is located between the two controller handles. It
is advised that when you are not using the controller for prolonged periods of
time, that you turn the controller off. Additionally, the controller has an automatic
“Sleep” mode -- when the controller is not in use for more than a few minutes,
the controller will partially turn itself off in order to conserve batteries. To wake
the controller from sleep mode, simply twirl the analog sticks or press any of the
buttons of the controller.

CONTROL MODES

There are two different control modes from which you can choose, depending on
your style of play. Change control modes by pressing the Mode button. The color of
the lighted Mode button tells you which mode you are in:

Analog Controller Mode - RED light

This is the standard “Dual Shock™” mode. Some games will only vibrate if the
controller is in Analog Controller mode.

Digital Mode - Light OFF

This is the original PlayStation controller mode. This is the default control mode.

MULTIPLE CONTROLLERS

If you want to use two or more Lynx controllers at the same time (as in multi-player
games or with the Mad Catz PS2 Multi-Port™), simply plug the controllers into the
game system as you normally would and begin play. You don’t need to set any
buttons or switches. The Lynx uses AUTOMATIC CHANNEL RECOGNITION and
AUTOMATIC ID RECOGNITION to automatically avoid most controller interference
conflicts.

When you play in the multi-player mode
WITHOUT a Multi-Port:

1. Insert the game disk and turn on your console.

2. Insert the Antenna Receiver for the first controller into the Player-1 Controller
port on the game console.

3. Confirm the link between first Antenna Receiver and first Lynx by using the
controller to see if it works in the game or game menu. (If the controller will not
respond, refer to “RESETTING THE CONTROLLER”.)

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

5. Confirm the link between second Antenna Receiver and second Lynx controller
by using the controller to see if it works in the game or game menu. (If the
controller will not respond, refer to “RESETTING

THE CONTROLLER”.)
