TROUBLESHOOTING AND WARNINGS

• My gamepad doesn’t function properly or doesn’t seem to be properly calibrated: - In the event of malfunction during use due to electrostatic emission, please exit the game, switch off your gamepad and unplug the receiver from your console or PC. Resume normal game play by plugging the receiver back in, then switch on the gamepad and launch the game again. - Never move the mini-sticks when connecting your gamepad (to avoid any calibration problems). • I can’t configure my gamepad: - In your game’s “Options/Controller/Gamepad” menu: select the most appropriate configuration. - Please refer to you game’s user manual or online help for more information. - You can also use your gamepad’s “programming” function to resolve this type of problem. • On PC, the vibrations don’t stop: - Decrease the intensity of force effects in your game’s controller options or adjust the forces in the gamepad’s control panel. When you’re done using your gamepad, we recommend that you always set your gamepad’s POWER switch (13) to the OFF position (to extend battery life).
