POWER SAVE MODE
The Lynx controller has an automatic “Sleep” mode -- when the controller is
not in use for more than three minutes, the controller will partially turn itself off
in order to conserve batteries. To wake the controller from sleep mode, press
D-Pad, analog sticks, BACK button or START button of the controller.
When storing the controller for extended periods of time, or while traveling with
the controller, remove the batteries to conserve battery life.
MULTIPLE CONTROLLERS
If you want to use two or more Lynx controllers at the same time (as in multi-
player games), simply plug the controllers into the game system as you normally
would and begin play. Confirm that each Lynx controller has a unique player
number (1,2,3 or 4) and that it matches the player number selected on the Base Unit.
When you play in the multi-player mode:
1. Insert the game disk and turn on your console.
2. Insert the Base Unit for the first controller into the Player-1 Controller port on
the game console.
3. Confirm the link between first Base Unit and first Lynx by using the controller to
see if it works in the game or game menu.
4. Insert the Base Unit for the second Lynx into the Player-2 Controller port on
the game console.
5. Confirm the link between second Base Unit and second Lynx controller by using
the controller to see if it works in the game or game menu.
6. IMPORTANT – Confirm that each Lynx controller has a unique player number
(channel 1,2,3 or 4) and that it matches the player number selected on the
Base Unit.
