Please refer to this section in the Standard User Manual for all but the one

option below.
When the Wireless Control Pad is connected, an additional option appears

which is not documented in the Standard User Manual:

Calibrate Wireless Control Pad joystick

This enables you to re-calibrate the joystick on the Wireless Control Pad.

You will be asked to rotate the joystick for 10 seconds. To ensure the most

accurate calibration possible, make sure to move the joystick fully up,

down, left and right and then rotate it in circles around the edge.
