Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to set up your USB dongle for use with your Xbox 360 or PC.

  1. Connect the Dongle: Insert the USB dongle into an available USB port on your Xbox 360 console or PC.

    Ensure the dongle is securely inserted. On PC, the system may attempt to install drivers automatically.

  2. Driver Installation (PC Only):

    For Windows 10, manual driver selection may be required if the dongle does not function immediately or shows an error. Follow these steps:

    • Right-click "This PC" and select "Properties".
    • Click "Device Manager".
    • Expand "Xbox 360 Peripherals".
    • Right-click "Xbox 360 controller for Windows" (it might have an error icon).
    • Select "Update Driver".
    • Choose "Browse my computer for drivers".
    • Select "Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer".
    • Select "Xbox 360 controller for Windows" and click "Next".
    • Confirm by clicking "Yes".

    After successful driver installation, the dongle's light should begin flashing, indicating it is ready for pairing.

  3. Pairing the Guitar:

    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.

Operating Instructions

Once the dongle and guitar are successfully paired, you can begin playing Guitar Hero Live.

  • Power On: Ensure your Xbox 360 or PC is powered on and the dongle is connected.
  • Guitar Connection: Turn on your Guitar Hero Live guitar. It should automatically establish a wireless connection with the dongle. A solid light on both the dongle and the guitar typically indicates a successful connection.
  • Game Play: Launch Guitar Hero Live on your console or PC. The guitar will now function as your game controller.
  • Disconnection: To disconnect, simply turn off your Guitar Hero Live guitar. The dongle will remain connected to the console/PC until removed.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your USB dongle, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the exterior of the dongle. Avoid using liquid cleaners, solvents, or abrasive materials.
  • Storage: When not in use, store the dongle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
