Using the wireless controller
Preparing for use
To use a wireless controller, you must first register or "pair" the controller
with the PS™ system and assign a number to the controller.
Step 1: Pair the system and the controller.

Step 2: Assign a controller number.
Every time the system is turned on
Step 1: Pair the system and the controller
When using the controller for the first time or when using with a different
PS™ system, you must first pair the devices. If you turn on the system
and connect the controller using a USB cable, the pairing will be
completed automatically.

(power indicator is lit solid green).
Step 2: Assign a controller number
Each time you turn on the system, a number must be assigned to the
controller.
Press the PS button.
All of the port indicators flash.
When the controller has been assigned a
number, the port indicators for the assigned
number turn solid red.

Example: Controller number 5 has been assigned.
Hints
Pairing and assigning controller numbers can only be done when the system is
turned on (power indicator is lit solid green).
When a paired controller is used with another PS™ system, the pairing with
the original system is cleared. Pair the controller with the system again if the
controller has been used with another system.
If the controller or the system is turned off, the port indicators on the controller
will turn off and the assigned number will be cleared.
