How to Use

Charge ACS2G
Connect the Type-C connector to the charging port of the ControlStick and the USB connector to the adapter, then connect the adapter to a power outlet. While charging with the fast charging adapter, there is a fast flashing power indicator, accompanied by a voice prompt saying “fast charging”. When the ControlStick is fully charged, the power light turns solid green.

Power ON/OFF
While the ControlStick is OFF, long press Power Switch button for at least 2s until 6 indicators flash simultaneously, followed by another long press for at least 2s, along with a voice prompt saying that it is powered on successfully. Then wait for a few seconds until the third indicator, a slowly blinking green light, goes off, which prompts that the initialization is completed and you can use the ControlStick now.
While the ControlStick is ON, long press Power Switch button for at least 2s until 6 indicators flash simultaneously, followed by another long press for at least 2s until all 6 indicators go off, which prompts that it is powered off successfully.

Warning
DO charge the battery with the charging device provided by XAG, or the user shall be held liable for the failure or damage arising from charging with other devices.
Not being water-resistant, the ControlStick shall never be doused with or immersed in water during operation and charging. The user shall assume responsibility for the failure or damage caused by having water leak inside.
As a device with a single LTE antenna, it applies to the scenarios not requiring a high data rate.
Insert SIM Card
Switch off the ControlStick, pull out the dust plug on the left side. and insert nano-SIM card as shown below.

Warning
ONLY nano-SIM card is allowed. Otherwise, the user shall bear the liability for the damage to the SIM card tray or the product.
