Hints

•Pairing and assigning controller numbers can only be done when the system is turned on (power indicator is lit solid green).

•When a paired controller is used with another PS3™ system, the pairing with the original system is cleared. Pair the controller with the system again if the controller has been used with another system.

•If the controller or the system is turned off, the port indicators of the controller will turn off and the assigned number will be cleared.
