USING THE GAMEPAD

Cautions:

• Always turn off your computer before connecting or disconnecting the

gamepad from the game port.

• When disconnecting the gamepad from the computer, hold and gently

pull on the connector plug. Do not pull the cable.

1. Turn off the computer.

2. Insert the gamepad’s connector into game port A on your computer, then

turn on the computer.

3. If the game you want to play uses all eight of the gamepad’s buttons, set

OFF/NORMAL/TURBO

to

NORMAL

(for normal fire when you press a but-

ton) or to

TURBO

(for high-speed turbo fire when you hold down a button).

Otherwise, set

OFF/TURBO/AUTO

to

OFF

to use only the buttons marked

A

,

B

,

C

, and

D

on your gamepad.

4. Install the driver (see “Installing The Supplied Driver” on Page 3), config-

ure the gamepad (see “Configuring the Gamepad” on Page 3), then load
the game software according to the game's owner's manual.

Note: Depending on the game you are playing, turbo fire might work dif-
ferently. Try each game with and without it to determine what works best.
