You will notice that there are 12 keys on the keypad.
These are used for feeding data into the computer.
With each cartridge, there are two overlays which fit
over the keypads of the two Hand Controllers. These
overlays are keyed to the particular game being played
and determine how the keys on the keypad relate to
the cartridge. Slip the overlay under the keypad frame
as shown. The lip at the top of the controller will
prevent overlay from being pushed back out during
normal game play.
There are two action buttons on each side of the Hand
Controller. The top buttons, one on each side, perform
the same function for the convenience of either right-
or left-handed players. The bottom buttons perform
varying functions. The functions of all the buttons
depend on the cartridge being used and are different
for each cartridge overlay.
The disc at the base of the Hand Controller is a
directional control for those cartridges in which
direction is a factor. There are 16 directions on the
disc. Direction of disc corresponds to direction on
television screen. UP on the disc (toward the keypad) is
UP on the screen, etc. For further instructions, refer to
your cartridge instructions.
To operate the directional disc, press your finger on the outer edge and slide your finger
around the edge to change direction of object you are moving. You have the ability to
move the object in any direction you wish. To stop motion, simply stop pressing disc. You
must be pressing on the disc in some direction for motion to take place.
The keypad buttons and directional disc cannot be operated simultaneously. However, the
action buttons and directional disc can be. See cartridge instructions.
When returning the Hand Controller to the Master Component, coil the cable beneath it in
the cradle.
To avoid permanently overstretching the coiled cables, they should not be pulled out to
their extreme length.
IMPORTANT: When playing your INTELLIVISION game, make sure BOTH hand-held
controllers are lifted out of their slots in the Master Component. Remove BOTH hand
controllers even though you are using only one for the game.
