2.2 Connecting to a Device (Nintendo Switch, PC, Android)

1. Plug the Nuport adapter into an available USB Type-A port on your Nintendo Switch dock, PC, or Android device (an OTG adapter may be required for some Android devices).
2. The adapter will power on automatically.

2.3 Pairing Controllers

The Nuport adapter supports two controller ports. Each port has a dedicated pairing button.

1. Ensure your classic controller (GameCube, Wii U, Wii, Super NES Classic Edition, NES Classic Edition) is in pairing mode. Refer to your controller's manual for specific pairing instructions.
2. On the Nuport adapter, press and hold one of the two device pairing buttons (labeled P1 or P2) for approximately 3 seconds. The indicator light for that port will begin to flash, indicating it is searching for a controller.
3. Once the controller is successfully paired, the indicator light for that port will become solid.
4. Repeat the process for the second controller if desired.

3. Operating Instructions

3.1 Basic Controller Functionality

Once paired, your classic controllers will function as standard input devices for your Nintendo Switch, PC, or Android system. Button mapping may vary slightly depending on the game and platform.

3.2 Special Buttons

• Turbo Button: Press and hold the Turbo button along with any action button to enable rapid-fire functionality for that button. Release both buttons to disable.
• Home Button: Functions as the system's Home button, allowing you to return to the main menu or dashboard.
• Capture Button: Allows you to take screenshots or record video clips, depending on the connected system's capabilities.

3.3 Controller Remapping

For Nintendo Switch users, the system's settings allow for remapping of controller buttons. If you experience unexpected button assignments (e.g., shoulder button swaps with GameCube controllers), you can adjust these settings within the Nintendo Switch system menu to customize your control scheme.

4. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Armor3 Nuport Wireless BT Adapter, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Keep the adapter clean by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Store the adapter in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Avoid dropping or subjecting the adapter to strong impacts.
• Regularly charge the adapter to maintain battery health, even if not in frequent use.

5. Troubleshooting

5.1 Adapter Not Powering On

• Ensure the adapter is securely plugged into a powered USB port.
• Verify the USB port is functional by testing it with another device.
• Charge the adapter fully before attempting to use it.

5.2 Controller Not Pairing

• Confirm the controller is in its correct pairing mode.
• Ensure you are pressing the correct pairing button (P1 or P2) on the Nuport adapter.
• Check if the adapter's indicator light is flashing during pairing attempts. If there is no flashing light, the adapter may not be in pairing mode or could be experiencing an issue.
• Move the controller closer to the adapter to rule out range issues.
• Try resetting both the controller and the adapter (if a reset function is available for the controller).

5.3 Controller Not Responding After Pairing

• Verify the controller's battery level.
• Ensure no other wireless devices are causing interference.
• Disconnect and re-pair the controller.

5.4 Input Lag

While designed for minimal latency, some users may perceive a slight input lag depending on the controller, game, and system. Ensure the adapter is not obstructed and is within close proximity to the controller.

5.5 Incompatible Controllers

The Nuport adapter is compatible with GameCube, Wii U, Wii, Super NES Classic Edition, and NES Classic Edition controllers. Some specific controller models, such as the Wii U Pro Controller, may not be compatible. Refer to the product specifications for a definitive list of supported controllers.
