6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the controller. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used, ensuring no liquid enters the ports or crevices.
• Cable Care: Avoid sharp bends or excessive pulling on the USB-C cable to prevent damage. Store the cable neatly when not in use.
• Storage: Store the controller in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Glow Feature: To maintain the glow-in-the-dark effect, periodically expose the controller to a light source, preferably UV light, for a few minutes.

7. Troubleshooting

• Controller Not Responding: Ensure the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the controller and the console/PC. Try a different USB port.
• Buttons Not Working: Check the controller's settings in the PDP Control Hub app to ensure no accidental re-mapping has occurred. Perform a firmware update if available.
• Headset Audio Issues: Verify the headset is fully plugged into the controller's 3.5mm jack. Check in-game and system audio settings. Use the D-pad controls to adjust volume and mic mute.
• Glow Feature Not Visible: The glow-in-the-dark feature requires exposure to light to charge. Ensure the controller has been exposed to sufficient light, especially UV light, before expecting it to glow in the dark.
• PC Connection Issues: Ensure your PC's operating system is up-to-date. Reinstall the PDP Control Hub app if necessary.
