8. CONNECTION AND INSTALLATION

• Install the device on even surface (for example, on

a table) on its 5 suction cups. If necessary fasten it

with the xation stand (Fig. 2).

• Connect pedal unit to the device (Fig. 3) via

cable of the pedal unit to RJ-11 jack1 m, then

(Fig. 8).

Setting of axes and buttons (not compatible

with OS Vista 64

• Dead Zone setup: controller will not respond

to a slight touch of acceleration pedal (Accelerate

Y+), or brake pedal (Brake Y-), or turns of

the wheel (Steering X), therefore necessary

adjustments should be made by cursors (Fig. 8);

• Sensitivity setup: the higher sensitivity is, the

swifter and more eﬃcient response of controller

to pressing of pedals and turns of the wheel

will be, therefore necessary adjustments within

Lower to Higher range should be made by

cursors (Fig. 8);

• KeyMap Setup reprograms functional keys:

there should be chosen new necessary assign-

ment against the key designation (Fig. 8);

• After installation of the driver, the controller

can be automatically centered by pressing

MODE button k.

ATTENTION! During automatic calibration do not

press any buttons.

• Choose Vibration test (Fig. 9) to check and set

vibration feedback:

а) Moving cursor in Vibration strength increases or

reduces force of vibration feedback, for example,

in Fig. 9 vibration feedback is 85 %;

b) Pressing buttons Left force, Both force or Right

force allows to check vibration feedback (Fig. 9);

c) After setting and checking, press Conrm in the

bottom of the window.

NOTE! Games supporting Force Feedback can

have further setup of feedback in different

situations: crashes, collisions against obstacles

or road signs etc. For further setup it is neces-

sary to make corresponding adjustments in the

setup window against Stick Volume, Road Effects,

Collision, Engine etc.

• Switching modes. Game racing wheel is

equipped with MODE button k for switching

between Digital/Analog modes, i.e. switching from

Digital to Analog mode and vice-versa. When in

Digital mode the wheel is turned and pedals are

pressed, there is static maximum switching ON/

OFF of corresponding axes, i.e. there is only

ON/OFF position. In Analog Mode the signal is

sent dependent on steering angle of the wheel

and extent to which the pedal was pressed, i.e.

smoothly.

• Operation without pedal unit. Game racing wheel

is equipped with paddle shifters f, that substitute

acceleration and brake pedals: the left paddle shifter

functions as a brake pedal, while the right paddle

shifter functions as an acceleration pedal.

Problem Solution

After installation of the software,

game controller does not work

normally.

А. Check whether the controller’s link cable is strongly

connected to PC.

B. Make sure that status indication for «Game

Controller», after installation is «Conrm».

C. Check whether controller’s settings have no conflicts

with other peripherals’ settings.

D. Restart your PC, if the controller still doesn’t work

normally.

Motors have no vibration

function in a racing game.

After exiting the game, disconnect the controller from

the USB port and connect it again. If it still can’t work

normally, please restart the computer.

After entering game, some

analog axis will automatically

operate.

The steering wheel hasn’t been calibrated or hasn’t been

confirmed after calibrations. Enter Option – Controllers –

Dead Zone to adjust the range of the dead zone, and

make sure the axes are in the range of the dead zone.

After entering the game,

vibration feedback operates

automatically.

Enter «Force Feedback» and calibrate it.

During the game vibration

feedback is insufficient.

Enter «Force Feedback» and set force of feedback.

If none of the above mentioned solutions removes the problem, please refer to nearest

authorized service center for consultation by qualified specialist. Never try to repair the device

on your own.
