※ If the power is on, the mode will not be changed, even though you change the mode switch. The mode will be changed based on mode switch status when it reboots only.
※ Pairing: Press the ‘Pairing Button( )’ at the bottom for more than 2 seconds, then SHAKS will be on pairing mode and you can find & select one of “Bluetooth Name” in an above table based on your mode selection. Up to two host devices’ Bluetooth profiles are stored for each mode. (LED #2,3 will be blinking simultaneously)
※ If you press the ‘Pairing Button ( )’ for more than 5 seconds, the pairing profiles registered in the current mode will be deleted.
※ Reconnect: The last paired profile will be tried to re-connect. If fail, the next one is being tried in a sequence.
(LED #2,3 will be blinking rotationally)
※ Pairing newly: To connect with a new device, please perform the “Pairing” process newly. The new device will be saved, and the first device registered Bluetooth profile will be deleted.
※ Please note that you cannot make Bluetooth pairings between an Android Device and a SHAKS Gamepad in Android Mode and Mapping Mode concurrently. So please delete or unpair the prior pairing information from your paired device list in Bluetooth Setup of your Android Device, before you try a pairing using the other mode.
When you make a pairing between SHAKS and your device, please check the paired device list, if there are the same HW number (xxxx) with a different mode name, you should have to delete it before you make a new paring. For example, when you try to use SHAKS S5b in mapping mode, if “SHAKS S5b_1E2A_Android” is listed in the paired list of your device, you should have to delete or unpair it before you make a new pairing using “SHAKS S5b_1E2A_mapping”.
The mapping mode will be worked well when SHAKS is paired via Bluetooth name “…mapping”.
