Basic Operation:
Charging the Controller
• With the system turned on (power indicator
is lit green), connect the controller to the
system using a USB cable. The port
indicators of the controller flash slowly and
charging begins. When charging has
completed, the port indicators stop
flashing.
Please Notice:
Before you use the controller for the first time, or after you
have not used it for a long time, you must charge the
battery. (If the controller will not be used for long periods of
time, the battery should be recharged at least once every
three months.)
IMPORTANT:
Make sure that the mini-USB plug is
aligned correctly with the port before inserting into the plug
to avoid damaging either the port or the plug.
Recharging a battery that has not been fully discharged will
shortens its life.
Hints
• The controller can be used while charging.
Preparing for use
To use this Bluetooth controller, you must
first register or "pair" the controller with the
PS3™ system and assign a number to the
controller.
Step 1: Pair the system and the controller
When using the controller for the first time or
when using with a different PS3™ system, you
must first pair the devices. If you turn on the
system and connect the controller using a USB
cable, the pairing will be completed
automatically.
Step 2: Assign a controller number
Each time you turn on the system, a number
must be assigned to the controller.
The controller number is shown by the
number above the port indicators. For
numbers 5-7, add the numbers of the lit
indicators.
Hints
• Pairing and assigning controller numbers can
only be done when the system is turned on
(when the power indicator is lit solid
green).
• When a paired controller is used with
another PS3™ system, the pairing with the
original system is cleared. Pair the
controller with the system again if the
controller has been used with another
system.
• If the controller or the system is turned off,
the port indicators on the controller will
turn off and the assigned number will be
cleared.
Using the controller wirelessly
If you disconnect the USB cable, you can use
the controller wirelessly. To use it wirelessly,
the controller’s battery must be charged.
Hints
• The USB cable can be connected or
disconnected while the controller and the
system are turned on.
• If the controller does not function, press the
HOME button and reassign the controller
number.
Battery charge level
If you press and hold down the HOME button
for more than two seconds, you can check the
battery charge level on the screen.
