Operating Instructions

1. Charging the Controller

Connect the controller to a power source using the USB charging cable. The 1000 mAh battery allows for extended gameplay. You can continue playing while the controller charges. The LED indicator will typically show a pulsating light during charging and turn off or change to a solid color when fully charged.

2. Motion Tracking

The controller features integrated motion tracking for immersive gameplay experiences in supported titles. Movements of the controller in space will be translated into in-game actions. Ensure the controller is held steadily when not actively using motion controls to prevent unintended input.

3. Using Speaker, Microphone, and Headset Jack

• Integrated Speaker: The controller has a built-in speaker for enhanced audio feedback in games.
• Integrated Microphone: Use the built-in microphone for in-game communication. Ensure microphone settings are correctly configured on your console or device.
• 3.5mm Audio Jack: Connect any standard 3.5mm headset to the jack located at the bottom of the controller for private audio and microphone use. This will typically override the built-in speaker and microphone.

4. LED Indicators

The LED light bar provides visual feedback on the controller's status:

• Flashing rapidly: Pairing mode.
• Solid light: Connected and active.
• Pulsating light: Charging (may vary).
• Slow flash: Low battery.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning

To clean the controller, use a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the controller's finish and internal components. Ensure no liquid enters openings such as the USB port or audio jack.

2. Storage

Store the controller in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity. Avoid placing heavy objects on the controller to prevent damage to the analog sticks or buttons. If storing for an extended period, ensure the battery is partially charged (around 50%) to prolong its lifespan.

Troubleshooting

• Controller not connecting:
  • Ensure the controller is charged.
  • Verify Bluetooth is enabled on your device/console.
  • Try re-pairing the controller by following the setup instructions for your specific device.
  • If on PS5, try connecting via USB cable first.
  • Restart your console/device and the controller.
• Buttons or analog sticks not responding:
  • Ensure the controller is properly connected.
  • Check for any physical obstructions or debris around the buttons/sticks.
  • Try resetting the controller (if a reset button is available, typically a small pinhole on the back).
• Controller not charging:
  • Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the controller and the power source.
  • Try a different USB port or power adapter.
  • Test with a different USB-C cable if available.
• Audio issues (speaker/microphone/headset):
  • Check audio settings on your console/device to ensure the controller's audio output/input is selected.
  • Ensure the headset is fully plugged into the 3.5mm jack.
  • Test the headset with another device to rule out headset issues.
