How to use the REVOLUTION Unlimited Pro Controller

You have the choice to use the controller in wired mode (via the cable provided), or wirelessly via the USB Bluetooth® receiver.
Note: do not touch the sticks or triggers when you connect your controller to any PS4™ system.
a. Wired communication
Ensure that the wired mode is selected on the ‘Communication Mode’ switch, located on the underside of the controller (‘wired’ mode is on the left and ‘wireless’ mode on the right):

  • Connect the cable to the back of the controller and ensure it is securely fastened.
  • Plug the cable connector into a free USB port on your PS4™ system, ensuring that you do not touch the sticks or triggers.
  • Press the PS button. The LED player status indicator will light up. Please note the player status indicator can react to in-game action, if supported by the software.
  • You are now ready to play.

Note: in the wired mode, the communication of the controller is only made through the USB cable.

  • The receiver LED will flash to show that it is searching for a controller.
  • Press the PS button on your controller. The LED player status indicator will light up. Please note the player status indicator can react to in-game action, if supported by the software.
  • The receiver LED will stop flashing when connected to the controller and will display the same colour as the LED player status indicator on the controller.
  • You are now ready to play.

Multi player mode
When playing with 2 controllers there can be some interference between them.
If you experience some problems, during your gaming session, we recommend you to check these different points:

  • Ensure that you are at least 60 cm apart from the next player.
  • Ensure than you are not too far away from your wireless receiver. We recommend you to be at less than 5 meters for your multi player session.
  • Ensure than the antenna of each wireless receiver is angled in a different direction.

Note: In rare situations the signal can affect, or be affected by, other wireless devices such as WiFi routers, WiFi repeaters or other Bluetooth products.
NOTES:

  • If the controller is not connecting, to the USB Bluetooth® receiver, you may have to synchronise the controller to the receiver. The process is:
    • ensure that the controller is OFF or turn it OFF,
    • press and hold ‘Share’ + ‘PS’ buttons, on your controller, until the LED player status indicator starts to flash,
    • press the SYNC button on the USB Bluetooth® receiver (the sync LED will flash).
  • If you are connecting a 2nd controller, to a free USB socket, then connect 1x controller and 1x USB Bluetooth® receiver first followed by the 2nd.
  • To switch off your controller, press and hold the ‘PS’ button, for 6 seconds, until the controller powers OFF.
  • When switching from Wireless mode to Wired mode you will see the on-screen message: ‘Controller was disconnected’. Press the ‘PS’ button to re-connect.

  • The PC Advanced Mode (Position 3) allows you to switch your controller into the X-Input Mode for PC* use.

c. How to charge your controller
Your controller will charge the internal battery, in the following ways:

  1. When connected to the PS4™ system as a wired controller
  2. When being used as a wireless controller and the cable is connected to the PS4™ system. In this option the internal battery will ‘trickle’ charge as the battery is still being used to power the controller ;
  3. When connected to the PS4™ system, with the cable, as a wired or wireless controller but the controller is in ‘Sleep’ mode or ‘Powered’ off.

To check the battery level, in any mode simply press and hold the ‘Mic mute’ button on the underside of the controller (for more than 1 second). The profile LEDs will then light up, as described above. You can now release the mic mute button.
*PC Advanced Mode not tested nor endorsed by Sony Interactive Entertainment Europe.
The profile LEDs will show you the battery level as below:

  • 75% < Battery level < 100%: 4 profile LEDs are ON
  • 50% < Battery level < 75%: 3 profile LEDs are ON (1st, 2nd and 3rd LEDs)
  • 25% < Battery level < 50%: 2 profile LEDs are ON (1st and 2nd LEDs)
  • 10% < Battery level < 25%: 1 profile LED is ON (1st LED)
  • Battery level < 10%: selected profile LED ts flashing permanently

To preserve battery life please Power Off your controller after use. To do this press the ‘PS’ button until the Player LED turns off. To wake up the controller press the ‘PS’ button.
To preserve battery integrity, we recommend that you always re-charge when the LED is RED or is flashing RED.
