GETTING STARTED

Dual Compatibility for USB and Game Port Connection

Important Notice: Connect your controller using only ONE of the connectors.

The Saitek P2000 comes with a choice of two connectors. You can either connect with the
conventional game port connector or, if your computer has the capability, connect via the USB
(Universal Serial Bus) connector. It is strongly recommended that if you have USB capability
on your computer, you should use that connector to attach this device.

The USB connector has many benefits over the older game port connector and is rapidly
becoming the standard interface connection for quality computers.

Installing your Saitek P2000

Important Notice: You must install the software from the Saitek Product Companion Disc
before you connect your game controller to the USB port.

1 With your computer switched on, close down any programs you are running and insert

the Saitek Product Companion Disc.

2 When the Saitek Product Companion Disc Dialog Box appears, select your Saitek

P2000 from the drop down list and click on the Install button.

3 In the next dialog box, click on Yes to agree with the installation of the Saitek P2000 and

then click on Accept to agree to the license agreement.

Note: For your Saitek P2000 to work, you need to have a minimum of Microsoft® Internet
Explorer 4 and DirectX 7.0a installed on your computer. This installation will automatically
recognize if you already have them loaded on to your machine. However, if they are not
present, you will need to take the following steps:

• If you are prompted to install Microsoft® Internet Explorer, click on Install and follow
the on-screen instructions and then restart your computer when prompted.

• If you are prompted to install Microsoft® DirectX 7.0a, click on Install and follow the
on-screen instructions and then restart your computer when prompted.

4 At the Saitek Gaming Extensions screen, click on Install and follow the on-screen

instructions and then restart your computer.

5 When you are prompted, attach your Saitek P2000 to the computer (using the USB

connector if you have the option) and follow the on-screen instructions.

6 When the Test screen appears, test your controller's buttons and attributes. Your Saitek

P2000 is now ready for gameplay, but first you should take time to run the Game Profile
Wizard to get the most from your new controller (see next section).
