GETTING STARTED

In order for this product to function correctly please install the drivers on the CD supplied

with this product.

The First Time You Use Your P3000 Wireless Pad

In order for the P3000 Pad to work you need to fully charge the batteries before you play. To obtain

a full charge, place one of the battery cells into the front of the docking station (after you have

completed the installation and with the USB cable connected and your PC switched on) and wait

for approximately one hour, or until the red Charge light switches off, indicating that the battery is

now fully charged. To recharge the battery after gameplay, simply repeat the procedure. The

battery will usually deliver a minimum of 8 hours gameplay after a full charge. The green Ready

light on the docking station indicates that the Docking Station is ready to communicate with the

pad.

Note: Remember you can play continuously without having to wait to recharge the batteries. Just

charge one of the battery cells in the docking station while you play with the other.

How to Test your Controller

• You can do this at any time by Clicking on Start, then Settings and selecting Control Panel

in Windows (XP users may only need to click on Start and then Control Panel)

• Look for an icon called either Game Controllers or Gaming Options (XP users may have to

click Printers and Other Hardware first).

• Open the Game Controllers/Gaming Options window then the name your controller should

show up.

• Click on Properties and this will bring up the test screen.

• Moving your controller and pressing the buttons should result in a response in this screen; if

it's responding in there then you know that the controller is okay.

Enabling Your Controller in Game

Most games support game controllers, which you can enable by using a [control] options menu

within the Main Menu of the game itself.

If you are having trouble working out how to do this or if you're unsure whether the game being

used supports game controllers, please refer to the user manual for that game for more help.

NOTE: Even if the game you are using does not support game controllers, it is possible to make

the controller work in that game using the Saitek Smart Technology programming software (only

installed if you chose to be an Advanced User when installing). Using the programming software

allows you to program your controller with keyboard and mouse commands, enabling it to work in

those games that only have support for keyboards and mice. For help using this powerful pro-

gramming software, consult the Programming Your Saitek Controller with Saitek Smart Technology

Programming Software section in this manual.
