Care and Maintenance

• Keep the gamepad dry. Avoid exposure to liquids, moisture, and extreme temperatures.
• Clean the surface of the gamepad with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or strong chemicals, as these may damage the finish.
• Store the gamepad in a cool, dry place when not in use, away from direct sunlight.
• Avoid dropping or subjecting the gamepad to strong impacts, which can damage internal components.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the gamepad, as this will void the warranty.

Troubleshooting

Gamepad Not Connecting

• Ensure the gamepad is fully charged.
• Verify Bluetooth is enabled on your device and the gamepad is in pairing mode (LEDs flashing rapidly).
• Try restarting both the gamepad and your connecting device (mobile phone, laptop).
• If using USB, ensure the cable is securely connected to both the gamepad and your computer, and try a different USB port.
• Remove any previous Bluetooth pairings for the gamepad from your device's settings and attempt to pair again.

Buttons Not Responding or Lagging

• Check if the gamepad is properly connected (Bluetooth or USB). A weak Bluetooth signal can cause lag.
• Test the gamepad with a different game or application to rule out game-specific issues or incorrect controller mapping.
• Ensure no debris or foreign objects are obstructing the buttons or analog sticks.
• If using Bluetooth, try moving closer to your device to improve signal strength.

Short Battery Life

• Ensure the gamepad is fully charged before each use.
• Battery performance may naturally decrease over time with regular use and charging cycles.
