ADVANCED FUNCTIONS

2 PROGRAMMING MODES

The PRESET button and its LED (7) allow you to view the types of programming you have selected:

AUTOMATIC (preprogrammed) or MANUAL (programmed by yourself). A single press of this button

allows you to switch from one programming mode to the other (even during a game).

AUTOMATIC PRESET (PRESET button is OFF)

This represents the default programming: the triggers are preprogrammed, as are the positions of buttons,

directions of the mini-sticks and of the D-Pad.

PLEASE REFER TO THE AUTOMATIC PRESETS CONFIGURATION DIAGRAMS.

MANUAL PRESET (PRESET button is GREEN)

This represents your own personal programming:

- Buttons, directions of the mini-sticks and of the D-Pad can either be:

* programmed onto the triggers,

* or switched between themselves.

- You can modify these programmings to your liking and whenever you wish.

- Your programmings are automatically saved inside your gamepad (even when it is disconnected).

- When your MANUAL PRESET is blank, it is identical to the AUTOMATIC PRESET.

PROGRAMMING THE TRIGGERS

The 2 progressive triggers can be programmed using the MAPPING button (6).

Examples of possible applications:

Programming a button, direction of a mini-stick or of the D-Pad:

- onto the left trigger,

- onto the right trigger.

the D-Pad can be switched using the MAPPING button (6).

Examples of possible applications:

- Switching the functions of buttons

- Switching the 2 mini-sticks

(in this case, you must map the 4 directions of the first mini-stick to the 4 directions of the second)

- Switching the D-Pad with a mini-stick

(in this case, you must map the 4 directions of the D-Pad to the 4 directions of the mini-stick in

(even if the gamepad is switched off or disconnected for a long period of time).

simultaneously.

POSSIBLE USES IN GAMES

- The triggers (thanks to their progressive function and range of travel greater than that of any button)

offer extremely precise control in all types of games: driving (progressive and independent acceleration

and braking, handbrake), action and FPS (firing rate, lateral movement), sports (measured pass or shot,

strength of hit or jump, running speed), and so on…

- There are numerous configuration possibilities, depending on the type of game you are playing.

TROUBLESHOOTING AND WARNINGS

My gamepad doesn’t function properly or doesn’t seem to be properly calibrated:

-Switch off your computer or your console, completely disconnect your gamepad, reconnect it and then

restart your game.

- Never move the mini-sticks or the triggers when connecting your gamepad (to avoid any calibration

problems).

- On PC, if the game does not accept “6 axes” mode (resulting in undesirable effects), switch your

gamepad to “4 axes” mode (the standard gamepad mode).

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 or PS3, my gamepad doesn’t function properly:

- Exit your game, disconnect your gamepad, verify that the PC/PS3 USB selector (12) is in the proper

position, and then reconnect your gamepad.
