not work unless the SGC2910 software is installed on your PC..

• Make sure the Wireless connection cable is fully extended before connecting the SGC2910 to your PC..

Do not extend/retract the connection cable while connected to a USB port as this can cause your software title to lose connection with the Wireless PC Controller.. If this occurs, wait several seconds and the Wireless PC Controller should automatically reconnect.. If this doesn’t work try unplugging the USB connector and then reconnecting to the same USB port.. If this doesn’t work, you will need to exit the PC game and restart it.

If your software title freezes or hangs up due to extending or retracting the cable, you will need to try the following:

b.If the above tip does not work, then you will have to exit the software title.. Press Ctrl and Alt keys down at the same time and then press the Del key..Try closing down the software title.. If this does not work you will need to restart your PC..

The Wireless PC Controller will only vibrate in software titles that support vibration.. Contact the game manufacturer to verify..You must have also loaded the SGC2910 software..There are many different force feedback and rumble effects available.. However, due to differences in software and hardware design, the

Wireless PC Controller may not support all effects.You will find that the range of effects that the Wireless

PC Controller supports will vary from game to game..

Check your software’s instruction manual to ensure it supports USB controllers.. If the PC game supports

USB controllers then you do not need to use the Profile Editor. If it only supports the mouse and keyboard, then you must use the SGC2910 Profile Editor.
