GETTING STARTED
In order for this product to function correctly please install the drivers on the CD supplied
with this product.
The First Time You Use Your P3000 Wireless Pad
In order for the P3000 Pad to work you need to fully charge the batteries before you play. To obtain
a full charge, place one of the battery cells into the front of the docking station (after you have
completed the installation and with the USB cable connected and your PC switched on) and wait
for approximately one hour, or until the red Charge light switches off, indicating that the battery is
now fully charged. To recharge the battery after gameplay, simply repeat the procedure. The
battery will usually deliver a minimum of 8 hours gameplay after a full charge. The green Ready
light on the docking station indicates that the Docking Station is ready to communicate with the
pad.
Note: Remember you can play continuously without having to wait to recharge the batteries. Just
charge one of the battery cells in the docking station while you play with the other.
