GETTING TO KNOW YOUR "T-X3 CHARGE HUB"

The "T-X3 CHARGE HUB" is the first PlayStation® 3 accessory allowing you to:

• recharge 2 SIXAXIS™ or DUALSHOCK®3 controllers, even when the console is powered off.
• add 3 powered USB 2.0 ports to your console.

The TX-3 is powered directly via the rear of the console and is therefore compatible in all countries, with all types of power supply (from 100 to 240V), and with all PlayStation® 3 models.

The USB hub is Hi-Speed and powered, guaranteeing 100% compatibility with all accessories which connect to a PlayStation® 3: PSP™, guitars, webcams, microphones, guns, USB keys, joysticks, gamepads, racing wheels, etc.

THE "T-X3 CHARGE HUB" LED

Use the On/Off switch (5) to power on or completely power off the TX-3.

• BLUE LED = the T-X3 is powered on.
  LED OFF = the T-X3 is powered off.

INSTALLING THE "T-X3 CHARGE HUB" ON PLAYSTATION® 3

A) Connect the T-X3 power cable (10) to its power adapter (9).
B) Pass the DC in 5V connector (8) through the opening underneath the cable slot (4).

RECHARGING A PLAYSTATION® 3 GAMEPAD ON THE TX-3 BASE

Position the gamepad on one of the 2 bases and connect its female connector to the male connector (1) on the TX-3.

When the gamepad is recharging:

The gamepad's port indicators flash slowly.

• When the gamepad is completely charged:

The gamepad's indicators stop flashing.

Note:

Gamepads continue to recharge even when your console is powered off.
Gamepads will automatically stop recharging when the battery is full.
- When recharging on its base, the gamepad is not functional and cannot be used.
To use your gamepad, disconnect it from the base and press its PS button.

USING THE HUB (3 USB 2.0 PORTS)

Connect the PlayStation® 3 accessory (PSP™, guitars, webcams, microphones, guns, USB keys, joysticks, gamebags, racing wheels, etc.) to one of the 3 USB ports (2) on the TX-3.

If the accessory is wired, pass its cable through the cable slot (4) located at the back of the T-X3.

Note:

The hub and its 3 USB ports are only functional and may only be used when your console is powered on.
- The hub can only be used when the T-X3's USB connector is connected to your console (diagram G).
- You can also recharge your gamepads via the hub (using the USB charging cable included with your console). In this case, the gamepad will be functional even while it is recharging.
