POSSIBLE USES IN GAMES The optical wheel (thanks to its technology and degree of rotation greater than that of any mini-stick) offers unparalleled precision and stability in all types of games: racing (ultra-precise steering), flying (rudder), action and FPS (progressive zoom), sports (measured shot, strength of hit), etc.

The triggers (thanks to their progressive action and range of mechanical travel greater than that of any button) offer extremely precise control in all types of games: racing (progressive and independent acceleration and braking, handbrake), action and FPS (rate of fire, lateral movement), sports (measured pass or shot, strength of hit or jump, running speed), etc. SOME EXAMPLES AND TIPS: - There are numerous configuration possibilities, depending on the game you are playing. - In certain games (racing type), do not hesitate to test out the 2 sensitivity modes for your optical wheel (Normal or High) in order to optimize its precision and responsiveness.

TROUBLESHOOTING AND WARNINGS

• My gamepad doesn’t function correctly or seems improperly calibrated: - In the event of malfunction due to electrostatic emission, exit the game, switch off your gamepad and disconnect the receiver from your console or your PC. To play again, reconnect the receiver, switch your gamepad back on and start the game again. - Never move the mini-sticks, the optical wheel or the triggers when connecting your gamepad (to avoid any calibration problems). - On PC, if the game does not accept “7 axes” mode (undesired effects), switch your gamepad to “4 axes” mode (the standard gamepad mode). • I can’t configure my gamepad in a game: - In your game’s “Options / Controller / Gamepad” menu: select the most appropriate configuration. - Please refer to your 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 or PS3, my gamepad doesn’t function correctly: - Exit your game, disconnect your gamepad, verify that the “PC/PS3” USB selector (11) is in the proper position, then reconnect everything. • The MAPPING LED flashes slowly and continuously: - Please change batteries.

When you’re done using your gamepad, we recommend that you always set the gamepad’s
