• Using the PX5000 in Analog Mode:
In Analog Mode, your gamepad features all the standard
digital functions, along with the activation of the dual
analog sticks. This combination is perfect for games
requiring a high level of control, since the pressure-
sensitive analog sticks offer increased precision and
performance. The action buttons and the D-Pad also
react to the amount of pressure applied, giving you the
ultimate in control! For superior response in your driving
and flying games, or any game where accuracy is
essential, we recommend using Analog Mode. To take
full advantage of the analog features, look for games
with the
Analog Controller Compatible
label!
3. A GUIDE TO USING SETUP MODE
Setup Mode provides access to some of the PX5000

gamepad’s memory capabilities.
The PX5000 will retain your programmed information even
when it has been unplugged from your video game console—so your own personal names,
settings, and macros will always be instantly available, whenever you use the gamepad! As
you are using Setup Mode, you’ll notice that the display will often show
UPDATING!
after you
enter and confirm settings. A word of caution:
Never turn off or unplug your game console
while information is being updated (i.e., while
UPDATING!
is being displayed).
If the PX5000
loses power while updating, memory corruption can result. If this occurs, you’ll need to reset
the gamepad by erasing its memory, as described in Section 5.
