LAYOUT

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

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

CHANNEL SELECTION

The Lynx controller has 4 different radio channels to choose from. The controller
and the receiver need to have the same channel selected in order to operate.
For example, to use your Lynx controller on Channel 1, adjust your CONTROLLER
CHANNEL SWITCH to “1”, and adjust your RECEIVER CHANNEL SWITCH to
“1”. When using multiple Lynx controllers in the same environment, ensure that
you have each controller using a different channel. When using a single Lynx

controller, always be sure to have channel “1” selected for the receiver and
the controller.

RUMBLE MODE

Rumble and vibration can cause excessive drain on the batteries of the Lynx
controller. If you would prefer to maximize battery life, you can turn OFF the
rumble capability of the Lynx controller. The RUMBLE MODE SWITCH is located
inside the battery compartment of the Lynx controller, on the bottom of the

controller. To turn off the RUMBLE MODE, open the battery compartment and
change the switch to the “OFF” position.

SLEEP MODE

When not in use, the Lynx controller will enter a “SLEEP MODE” in order to save
battery life. The SLEEP MODE will become enabled when the controller is not
used for at least 3 minutes. In order to bring the controller out of sleep mode,
turn the power switch to the OFF position and then ON again. When not in use for
prolonged periods of time, the Lynx controller should be turned off by placing the
power switch in the OFF position.

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.
