Once the dongle is flashing (or recognized by your system), turn on your Guitar Hero Live guitar. The guitar should automatically connect to the dongle. If not, consult your guitar's manual for specific pairing instructions, which usually involves pressing a sync button on both the dongle and the guitar.
