RECHARGEABLE 600 MAH INTERNAL BATTERY

Controller was charged at the factory, but if top LED is flashing red, plug in USB cable to charge prior to initial pairing. Get up to 20 hours of game play when fully charged (other variables affect play time).

NOTE: Remember to charge controller at least once every 45-60 days (regardless of use) so battery retains ability to charge. Battery capacity will gradually reduce over time with repeated charging.

From the HOME Menu, select ‘Controllers,’ then ‘Change Grip and Order.’ While the following screen is displayed, press and hold down the SYNC Button for at least one second on the controller you wish to pair.

The four LEDs on the bottom indicate power, player number 1-8, and will cycle from left to right during wireless pairing.

BATTERY WARNING

Don’t attempt to replace the rechargeable battery yourself – you may damage the battery, which could cause overheating, fire, and injury. The Lithium-ion battery in your device should be serviced or recycled by PowerA or an authorized provider and must be recycled or disposed of separately from household waste.
Dispose of batteries according to your local environment laws and guidelines.

Don’t use or leave the product containing rechargeable batteries exposed to very high temperatures (e.g. at strong direct sunlight or in a vehicle in extremely hot weather). Otherwise, it can overheat, catch fire, or the performance will degenerate, and the service life will be shortened.

Don’t use the rechargeable battery item in a location where static electricity is rich, otherwise, the internal safety devices may be damaged, causing a harmful situation.

In case the electrolyte gets into the eyes due to the leakage of battery, do not rub eyes. Rinse eyes with clean running water and seek medical attention immediately. Otherwise, it may injure eyes or cause a loss of sight.

If the battery gives off an odor, generates heat, or in any way appears abnormal during use, recharging or storage, immediately remove it from battery charger and place it in a contained vessel such as a metal box.

Be aware discarded batteries may cause fire, do not heat the controller or throw it into fire.

MOTION WARNING

Playing video games can make your muscles, joints, skin or eyes hurt. Follow these instructions to avoid problems such as tendinitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, skin irritation or eyestrain:

Avoid excessive play. Take a 10 to 15 minute break every hour, even if you don’t think you need it. Parents should monitor their children for appropriate play.
If your hands, wrists, arms or eyes become tired or sore while playing, or if you feel symptoms such as tingling, numbness, burning or stiffness, stop and rest for several hours before playing again.
If you continue to have any of the above symptoms or other discomfort during or after play, stop playing and see a doctor.
