6.2 TURBO Function

The TURBO function allows for continuous rapid input of specific action keys, providing an advantage in games requiring quick button presses.

Supported Action Keys:

• A, B, X, Y, L, R

Setting Method:

1. To activate TURBO for an action key: Press and hold the desired action key (e.g., 'A'), then briefly press the 'TB' (TURBO) key. The TURBO function is now active for that action key.
2. To deactivate TURBO for an action key: Press and hold the action key for which TURBO is active, then briefly press the 'TB' key again. The TURBO function will be turned off for that key.

Important Note:

The TURBO function settings are temporary. If the product restarts from sleeping mode or a shut-down state, all previously set TURBO functions will be cleared automatically. You will need to re-apply the settings if you wish to use the TURBO function again.
