  • You are now ready to play.
  • Multiplayer 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 check these different points:
  • Ensure that you are at least 60 cm apart from the next player.
  • Ensure that 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 that 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.

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).
