BASE STATION CONNECTION:
To make it easier to setup the Trimersion when hooking it to a console game system, start the
game as normal with the original controller then when the game is going, unplug the controller,
plug in the Trimersion base station to the controller port then turn on the gun. Do not plug in the
USB connector into anything but a computer USB port. Even though game consoles have USB
connectors on them; the one on the base station is not intended to be used for that purpose, only
the controller connectors.
FOR PC/MAC with NTSC VIDEO OUT RCA JACK:
Your computer must have a NTSC video out jack – hook up supplied RCA cable to VIDEO OUT and other
end to VIDEO IN on Base Station. Plug in Mini Stereo to RCA adapter to AUDIO OUT on computer and
the other end to the RCA jacks of Left and Right AUDIO IN.
If your computer doesn’t have a NTSC VIDEO OUT RCA JACK, please
purchase a VGA to NTSC converter.

connect a TV to the VIDEO OUT on the BASE STATION.

with it.

Video Channel Selector:
The Trimersion is capable of using 1 of 4 different video channel frequencies. If you are running multiple
TRIMERSIONS with in range of each other, you can set each unit on a different frequency.
To change the frequency set the DIP switches on the HMD and BASE STATION to the same number.
TRACKER/LOOK FUNCTION JOYSTICK ASSIGNMENT:

If your game uses a different joystick for LOOK in the game, you can FLIP the joystick assignment by
moving the JOYSTICK FLIP SWITCH on the front of the GUN CONTROLLER. This will change the
MOVEMENT and LOOK function of the GUN CONTROLLER from the LEFT side and RIGHT side
respectively to the RIGHT and LEFT side.
In other words, in NORMAL mode, the movement control is with the LEFT joystick and the LOOK
function is controlled by the RIGHT joystick and the GYRO. In FLIP mode, the movement control is
controlled by the RIGHT joystick and the LOOK function is controlled by the LEFT joystick and GYRO.
This is also useful in changing the operation of the gun for right or left-handed people.
GUN CONTROLLER KEY MAPPING:
TROUBLESHOOTING:
If you are getting static lines in the HMD LCDs and a pulsing sound in the headphones, make sure you turn
off any radio interference or wireless communications sources near the Trimersion visor.

Known interference can be caused by Wi-fi enabled laptops and network hubs and some cell phones and
PDAs.
One solution may be to change to an alternate RF frequency using the VIDEO CHANNEL SELECTOR
instructions.
If the LCD display in the HMD has no picture but you still have audio, it normally is an indication that the
batteries are low.
