WARNING
Before using this product, read this manual for
important safety and health information. Keep

1. General
WARNING: Photosensitive Seizures
A very small percentage of people may experience a
seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including
ashing lights or patterns that may appear in video
games. Even people who have no history of seizures or
epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can
cause these „photosensitive epileptic seizures” while
watching video games.
Theseseizuresmayhaveavarietyofsymptoms,including
light-headedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching,
jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation,
confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures
may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions
that can lead to injury from falling down or striking
nearby objects.
Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you
experience any of these symptoms. Parents should
watch for or ask their children about the above
symptoms – children and teenagers are more likely
than adults to experience these seizures. The risk of
photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by
taking the following precautions:
Sit farther from the TV screen.
Use a smaller TV screen.
Play in a well-lit room.
Do not play when you are drowsy or fatigued.
If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures
or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing.
WARNING: Musculoskeletal disorders
Use of game controllers, keyboards, mice, or other
electronic input devices may be linked to serious injuries
or disorders.
When playing video games, as with many activities,
you may experience occasional discomfort in your
hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your
body. However, if you experience symptoms such as
persistent or recurring discomfort, pain, throbbing,
aching, tingling, numbness, burning sensation, or
stiffness, DO NOT IGNORE THESE WARNING
SIGNS. PROMPTLY SEE A QUALIFIED HEALTH
PROFESSIONAL, even if symptoms occur when you are

not playing a video game. Symptoms such as these can
be associated with painful and sometimes permanently
disabling injuries or disorders of the nerves, muscles,
tendons, blood vessels, and other parts of the body.
These musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) include carpal
tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, tenosynovitis, vibration
syndromes, and other conditions.
While researchers are not yet able to answer many
questions about MSDs, there is general agreement
that many factors may be linked to their occurrence,
including medical and physical conditions, stress and
how one copes with it, overall health, and how a person
positions and uses their body during work and other
activities (including playing a video game). Some studies
suggest that the amount of time a person performs an
activity may also be a factor.
If you have questions about how your own lifestyle,
activities, or medical or physical condition may be
related to MSDs, see a qualied health professional.
Attention!
The device must not be exposed to rain or humidity
in order to avoid risk of re and the danger of
electric shock.

The maximum operation time of the wheel with
•
•
•
continuous Force feedback activity is 1 hour. Let
the wheel cool down for a few minutes before you

Long playing may cause health risks. Take a break
of 5 minutes every 20 minutes, and do not play for
more than 2 hours per day.
We strongly advise you to not drive a vehicle
immediately after using a video game.
Utilisation of the vibration and Force Feedback
function may cause damage to your health.
In case of interferences with other wireless 2.4 GHz
devices, the interfering devices must be removed
or switched off.
Not intended for children under the age of 3
years.

Do not open the casing of the device.
The device only contains components that cannot

WARNING: Electrical Safety
As with many other electrical devices, failure to take
the following precautions can result in serious injury or
death from electric shock or re or damage to the racing
wheel.

If you use AC power, select an appropriate power
source:
Use only the power supply and AC power cord that
came with your racing wheel or that you received
from an authorized repair center.
Do not use non-standard power sources, such as
generators or inverters, even if the voltage and
frequency appear acceptable. Only use AC power
provided by a standard wall outlet.
To avoid damaging the AC power cord:
Protect the cord from being pinched or sharply
bent, particularly where it connects to the
power outlet and the racing wheel.
Do not jerk, knot, sharply bend, or otherwise
abuse the power cord.
Do not expose the power cord to sources of
heat.
When disconnecting the power cord or power
supply, pull on the plug - do not pull on the cord.
If the power cord becomes damaged in any
way, stop using it immediately and contact
Fanatec Customer Support for a replacement.
Unplug your racing wheel’s power cord during
storms or when unused for long periods of
time.

5.3 Simulator installation
If you prefer a permanent installation on a table or
simulator you can x the wheel with 4 screws to any at
surface.
Please use the drilling template to drill the holes.
The length of the screws depends on your table so we
did not include any screws but you can use standard
metric screws with a diameter of 6 mm.
IMPORTANT:
Please only tighten the screws very gently to avoid
damaging the wheel.
5.4 Installation of pedals
In combination with the PWTS you can use the Porsche
Wheel Standard Pedals, the ClubSport Pedals, the G25
pedals (optional adapter) or the Microsoft Wireless Xbox
360 wheel pedals (optional adapter).
Connect the pedals with the PS/2 cable to the green
socket on the right side of the wheel.

20
If you use the ClubSport Pedals you can also connect
them directly to the PC as a separate USB controller.
IMPORTANT:
Use only one connection cable for the ClubSport
pedals and use the USB cable only for PC.
5.5 Connection of Xbox 360 Headset
Turn down the volume by rotating the volume control all
the way to the left. Insert the 2.5 mm headset connector
into the female connector on the Left side of your
PWTS.
Put on your headset and adjust the microphone.
