UPDATING YOUR RACING WHEEL’S FIRMWARE

The firmware included in your racing wheel’s base can be updated to a more recent version featuring product enhancements. To display the firmware version that your racing wheel is currently using and update it if required: on PC, visit https://support.thrustmaster.com. Click Racing Wheels / T-GT II Pack, then select Firmware and follow the instructions describing the download and installation procedure.

Important note
On PC, the USB sliding switch (11) on the racing wheel’s base must always be set to the “OTHER” position.

INSTALLING THE WHEEL ON ITS BASE

Align the connector positions using the arrows: Base (1) connector: Arrow pointing upwards Racing wheel (2) connector: Arrow pointing upwards Once the connectors are correctly positioned, simply rotate the Thrustmaster Quick Release (15) device’s ring anticlockwise, while holding the racing wheel (2) in position. Then, tighten the ring as much as you can: to do so, hold the ring in position and rotate the racing wheel clockwise. Once you have installed the wheel, rotate it 180° (when facing the wheel, the GT logo should be upside down) to access the small attachment screw located on the ring of the Thrustmaster Quick Release (15) device. Use a large Phillips screwdriver to tighten the small attachment screw (do not use excessive force), turning it clockwise. When using a Philips screwdriver, ensure NOT to use excessive force when tightening the small attachment screw! Stop turning the screw as soon as you feel some resistance.

ATTACHING THE RACING WHEEL
Attaching the racing wheel’s base to a cockpit

1. Position the washers (25) on the metal sides of the mounting discs (26), and insert the M6-type hexagon head/Phillips-head bolts (24).

3. Using a 10 mm wrench key or a Phillips-head screwdriver, screw the cockpit mounting kit into the cockpit shelf and into the 2 small screw threads located on the underside of the wheel.

ATTENTION

• Do not remove the foam pads located on the underside of the racing wheel’s base! The foam pads amplify the effects of the T-DFB system when the wheel is attached.
• The textured rubber side of the mounting discs (26) must imperatively be positioned facing the cockpit shelf = never position the metal side facing the cockpit shelf.

WARNING

• Never tighten the screw alone, without the attachment system in place (this could damage the racing wheel).
• Do not remove the foam pads located on the underside of the racing wheel’s base! The foam pads amplify the effects of the T-DFB system when the wheel is attached.

In the countries of the European Union, this corresponds to a period of two (2) years from delivery of the Thrustmaster product. In other countries, the warranty period corresponds to the time limit to bring an action for conformity with respect to the Thrustmaster product according to applicable laws of the country in which the consumer was domiciled on the date of purchase of the Thrustmaster product (if no such action exists in the corresponding country, then the warranty period shall be one (1) year from the original date of purchase of the Thrustmaster product).

Notwithstanding the above, rechargeable batteries are covered by a warranty period of six (6) months from the date of original purchase. Should the product appear to be defective during the warranty period, immediately contact Technical Support, who will indicate the procedure to follow. If the defect is confirmed, the product must be returned to its place of purchase (or any other location indicated by Technical Support).

Within the context of this warranty, the consumer’s defective product shall, at Technical Support’s option, be either replaced or returned to working order. If, during the warranty period, the Thrustmaster product is subject to such reconditioning, any period of at least seven (7) days during which the product is out of use shall be added to the remaining warranty period (this period runs from the date of the consumer’s request for intervention or from the date on which the product in question is made available for reconditioning, if the date on which the product is made available for reconditioning is subsequent to the date of the request for intervention). If permitted under applicable law, the full liability of Guillemot and its subsidiaries (including for consequential damages) is limited to the return to working order or the replacement of the Thrustmaster product. If permitted under applicable law, Guillemot disclaims all warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.

This warranty shall not apply: (1) if the product has been modified, opened, altered, or has suffered damage as a result of inappropriate or abusive use, negligence, an accident, normal wear, or any other cause unrelated to a material or manufacturing defect (including, but not limited to, combining the Thrustmaster product with any unsuitable element, including in particular power supplies, rechargeable batteries, chargers, or any other elements not supplied by Guillemot for this product); (2) if the product has been used for any use other than home use, including for professional or commercial purposes (game rooms, training, competitions, for example); (3) in the event of failure to comply with the instructions provided by Technical Support; (4) to software, said software being subject to a specific warranty; (5) to consumables (elements to be replaced over the product’s lifespan: disposable batteries, audio headset or headphone ear pads, for example); (6) to accessories (cables, cases, pouches, bags, wrist-straps, for example); (7) if the product was sold at public auction. This warranty is nontransferable. The consumer’s legal rights with respect to laws applicable to the sale of consumer goods in his or her country are not affected by this warranty.

Additional warranty provisions

During the warranty period, Guillemot shall not provide, in principle, any spare parts, as Technical Support is the only party authorized to open and/or recondition any Thrustmaster product (with the exception of any reconditioning procedures which Technical Support may request that the consumer carry out, by way of written instructions – for example, due to the simplicity and the lack of confidentiality of the reconditioning process – and by providing the consumer with the required spare part(s), where applicable).

In no event shall Guillemot or its affiliates be held liable to any third party for any consequential or incidental damages resulting from the breach of any express or implied warranties. Some States/Provinces do not allow limitation on how long an implied warranty lasts or exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from State to State or Province to Province.
