Installation of the Bluetooth Driver/Software
Do not insert the Bluetooth USB stick yet!
First, the enclosed software for the Bluetooth USB stick must be installed.
Following a different sequence can prevent the Bluetooth stick from being
recognized correctly, or can cause the software not to function correctly..
☞
If you only want to use the Bluetooth stick as a receiver for a PS/3 controller, then
installation of the Bluetooth driver/software is not required.
Instead, it will be necessary to install the driver for the PS/3 controller, see chapter
„Installation of a PS/3 Controller“.
To install the Bluetooth USB stick proceed as follows:
• Insert the CD with the Bluetooth software/driver in an appropriate drive on your computer. If
the installation software does not start automatically, start it manually from the main directory
of the CD.
• Follow the software’s instructions.
During the installation, the software asks you to connect the Bluetooth® Stick Micro to your
computer. Insert the Bluetooth® Stick Micro in to your computer when asked, and the instal-
lation will be proceeded. Windows and the software recognize new hardware and will finish the
installation.
☞
Installing the driver can take some minutes! Please wait, until the drivers are fully
installed, do not abort the installation program, even if, at first sight, it looks as if the
program is not responding anymore.
• After finishing the installation the software requires the computer to be restarted.
• The software can be used to search for available Bluetooth devices, e.g. a mobile phone.
Installing a PS/3 Controller
Do not insert the Bluetooth USB stick yet!
First, the enclosed software for the PS/3 controller must be installed.
Following a different sequence can prevent the Bluetooth stick from being
recognized correctly, or can cause the software not to function correctly..
☞
Installing the Bluetooth® Stick Micro’s driver/software (see chapter „Installation of
the Bluetooth Driver/Software“) is not necessary when using with a PS/3 controller!
Installing the driver for the PS/3 controller is sufficient. Please note, that the
Bluetooth USB stick can only be used for either a PS/3 controller or for traditional
Bluetooth devices!
When this manual was written, a second CD containing the program for installing a PS/3 con-
troller was enclosed.
☞
This CD also contains a comprehensive step-by-step-manual with numerous illus-
trations.
Start the Software Installation. If .NET-Framework2.0 is not present on your PC, download this
first and install it. The program manages this automatically when there is an active Internet con-
nection (otherwise, you will have to download .
O P E R A T I N G I N S T R U C T I O N S

NET-Framework2.0 via www.microsoft.com and install it, then restart the software installation for
the Bluetooth USB stick).
Following this, the software will ask you to enter the serial number of the Bluetooth®-stick; this
is to be found on the USB-plug of the Bluetooth®-stick.
It is possible, when using newer versions of the software, that instead of the serial number of the
Bluetooth®-stick, the serial number of the software itself should be entered (this is to be found,
for example, on the CD, the CD case, or elsewhere).
When you have finished the installation you can find the menu item „PPJoy Joystick Driver“ from
„Start / Program“. Start „Configure Joysticks“ and click on „Add“.
At „Parallel Port“ select the „Virtual joysticks“ setting and click on „Add“. After this, Windows will
recognize the new hardware, follow all of the instructions.
Finally, from „Start /All Programs / PXConnector“ start the program „PS3 Controller Configuration
Tool“.
Please connect the PS/3 controller via an appropriate cable with a free USB port from your com-
puter when requested by the program. Now, the program now performs a pairing (linking the
PS/3 controller to the program).
If the program asks, disconnect the USB connection to the PS/3 controller and press the „PS“
button for at least 1 second.
The PS/3 controller is then available e.g. for games.
Tips & Notes
• USB does not function when DOS or Windows are in safe mode (or only restricted to USB key-
board/mouse). The Bluetooth USB stick does not work in this mode.
• The stated range of up to 10m is the free-field range, i.e. the range with sight contact between
the transmitter and the receiver (one Bluetooth device to another). In practical operation, how-
ever, there are walls, room ceilings, metal objects etc. between the transmitter and the receiv-
er, which reduces the range accordingly.
Other causes for a reduction in range are:
- High-frequency interference of all types (computers, monitors, mobile phones)
- Any kind of housing and vegetation
- Conductive metals, in the vicinity of the units, or within or close to the radio path, e.g. radia-
tors, metal insulation, glass windows, reinforced concrete floors etc.
- Influences on the aerial’s transmission characteristics, due to the distance of the transmitter
or receiver from conductive areas or objects (including the human body or floor).
- Broadband interference in urban areas that reduces the signal-to-noise ratio; the signal is
not recognised because of the „noise“
- Irradiation from insufficiently shielded electronic devices, e.g. computers operated openly, or
similar.
• The max. data transfer rate decreases with increasing distance. However, you should not posi-
tion another Bluetooth device in the direct proximity of the Bluetooth® Stick Micro, maintain a
distance of at least 30 cm.
