“Pairing” is when two Bluetooth devices agree to communicate with each other and establish
a connection. This link between the PBT and PS3 enables you to control various functions of
the devices without the need for reconfiguring each time you use them together. If everything is
working properly you will only need to go through the pairing process once. The PS3 and PBT will
remain paired even when powered off, a connection is interrupted or stopped, or one or both are
restarted. This also applies to most mobile phones.
Wireless Pairing to the PlayStation 3:
Follow these steps to make a wireless connection between the PBT and PS3. Before you begin,
your PS3 must have the latest available software update in the System Settings menu.
1) With the PBT powered OFF, go to the PS3 Settings > Accessory Settings >
Manage Bluetooth Devices.
2) If you have never used a Bluetooth device or have deleted any profiles from other devices
previously used with your console, the prompt will ask if you wish to register a device.
Choose “Yes” to start scanning. If any other Bluetooth devices have previously been paired
with your console they will appear in a list. Choose “Start Scanning” at the bottom of the
screen.
3) On the PBT, press and hold the MFB for 5 seconds until the flashing LED changes from
blue to red—then release the button. A tone will
also sound in the earpiece to indicate that the
PBT is in pairing mode.
4) When the PS3 is finished scanning, it will
prompt you to select the Bluetooth device.
Select “Turtle Beach PBT” from the list.
5) On the next screen, enter “0000” as the Pass
Key and select “OK”. A tone will be heard in the
earpiece and the PBT will now be paired with
your PS3.
