INSTALLATION OF THE RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES

1. Remove the gamepad’s battery compartment cover. 2. Insert rechargeable batteries, then replace the cover. INSTALLATION ON PC System requirements: PC (Windows 98SE, Me, 2000, XP) equipped with USB port. The CD-ROM included with this product allows you to install the Force Feedback drivers. 1. Insert the installation CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the Force Feedback drivers. Once the installation is complete, click Finish and restart your computer. 2. Once your computer has restarted, connect the USB connector on the docking station (17) to one of your computer’s USB ports. Windows 98/Me/2000/XP will automatically detect the new device. (If you are connecting a USB device for the first time, Windows may ask you to insert the Windows CD-ROM during the installation procedure in order to install the required system files.) 3. Driver installation: Windows 98: the Add New Hardware Wizard will search for the appropriate drivers. Click Next. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation. Windows Me/2000/XP: the drivers are installed automatically. 4. Select Start/All Programs/Thrustmaster/Force Feedback driver/Control Panel. The Game Controllers dialog box displays the gamepad’s name with OK status. USING YOUR GAMEPAD ON PC 1. To play on PC, plug the gameport receiver (11) into the gameport connector slot on the docking station (14). 2. Set the gamepad’s switch (6) to one of the VIB positions to turn the gamepad on. Connection between the gamepad and the gameport receiver is automatic and the LED stops flashing. 3. In the Control Panel, click Properties to configure your gamepad: • Test device: allows you to test and visualize the buttons, the D-Pad, and the axes of the 2 ministicks and the 2 triggers. • Test forces: allows you to test 8 vibration effects and configure the vibration effect settings. INSTALLATION ON PS2 1. Remove the gameport receiver (11) from the gameport connector slot on the docking station (14). 2. Plug the gameport receiver (11) into a controller port on your console. 3. Turn on the gamepad using the switch (6). 4. Turn on your console and start up your game. You are now ready to play!

OFF position = gamepad is turned off. VIB LOW position = gamepad is turned on, vibration mode is on low (saves battery power). VIB HIGH position = gamepad is turned on, vibration mode is on high (uses more battery power).

• MODE button (7): press this button to switch between modes.

- Analog mode (default): MODE button (7) lights up blue. - Digital mode: MODE button (7) is not lit up. • -

CONNECT button (9): press this button to switch between modes.

“Connect” LED is flashing quickly = no signal between gamepad and receiver (not connected). “Connect” LED is lit up = strong signal between gamepad and receiver. “Connect” LED is off = gamepad is in sleep mode. “Connect” LED is flashing slowly = low battery power (vibration function will be disabled in order to save power). You should recharge the batteries.

- The gamepad automatically turns off when it has not been used for 5 minutes. - To “wake” it, press any button. • MULTIPLAYER / CHANNEL AUTO-SWITCHING INFORMATION: - You can play with up to 4 Dual Trigger Gamepads. All channels are detected automatically. - When playing in multiplayer mode, if you wish to switch gamepads in the course of a game, press the Receiver (19) and CONNECT buttons on your gamepad simultaneously. • CHARGING THE RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES: - To recharge the batteries, connect the USB connector on the docking station (17) to a USB port on your PC or PlayStation 2. - Place your gamepad on the docking station, taking care to position the gamepad’s charging connectors on top of the docking station’s charging connectors (15) and make sure that they make contact. - The CHARGE LED turns red during charging. - When the batteries are fully charged, the CHARGE LED turns green. - Note: you can use the gamepad while it is charging. To do so, connect the independent charging cable (19) to the gamepad’s DC in (16) and the docking station’s DC out (13) connectors. TRIGGER MAPPING All analog buttons and mini-stick directions (axes) can be mapped to the left and right triggers (except DPad and START, SELECT, L3 and R3 buttons). • MAPPING button (8) (used to map left and right triggers): - Press and release the MAPPING button (LED flashes slowly). - Press and release the button or direction you want to assign to the trigger (LED flashes quickly). - Press and release the trigger assigned to this function (LED turns off). • EEPROM: Your gamepad includes an internal memory chip, which stores your last mapping configuration even if you turn your gamepad off.

TRIGGER BEHAVIOR: Triggers react differently according to whether you map 2 separate analog axes, one same analog axis or 2 separate analog buttons to them. Below are 3 different examples (in this case, for racing games). PS2 recommended

• 2 analog (PS2) or digital (PC) buttons are mapped to the 2 triggers.

• On PS2, this configuration is the most useful for racing games (because of the progressive analog buttons). • You are in the same configuration as a PS2 Force Feedback racing wheel (i.e. in 3-axis mode). • On PC, this configuration is possible but not the best (because of the digital buttons). • This enables you to separately regulate analog (PS2) or digital (PC) control of the left and right triggers (there is no “master” trigger).

• 2 separate axes are mapped to the 2 triggers.

• On PC, this configuration is the most useful for lots of racing games (because of the progressive analog buttons). • You are in the same configuration as a PC Force Feedback racing wheel (i.e. in 3-axis mode). • This enables you to separately regulate analog control of the left and right triggers (there is no “master” trigger).

PC and PS2 alternative

• One same axis is mapped to the 2 triggers.

• In this case the left trigger is the “master” trigger. • If you press the left and right triggers together, your car will brake. • This allows you to use the right trigger to control your car’s speed, and briefly use the left trigger for powerful braking control.

EXAMPLES OF OTHER POSSIBLE MAPPING The triggers provide intuitive performance in all types of games: action and FPS (progressive zoom, view, lateral movement or fire), racing (progressive gas, brake, emergency brake, manual transmission), sports

(progressive pass, shoot, punch or jump…) and more. Thus, many mapping configurations are available, according to the possibilities offered by your game. If your game does not accept your current mapping configuration, the triggers will produce strange reactions; in this case, please try defining another mapping configuration (using other axes and buttons). For a better understanding of all the possibilities available on PC, try them out in “Game Controllers” (Thrustmaster Control Panel). WARNING: NEVER INSERT NON-RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES OR BATTERIES WITH A DIFFERENT REFERENCE INTO YOUR GAMEPAD!
