4.3 Bluetooth Pairing
The gamepad supports "Direct-Play" mode, meaning it connects and plays without requiring activation or a dedicated app.
- Ensure the gamepad is charged and powered off.
- Press and hold the appropriate pairing button combination (refer to specific instructions on the device or quick start guide if available, otherwise, try a common combination like HOME + X for Android or HOME + Y for iOS).
