Installation
Installing the HotRod Joystick is very simple. It is recommended that you read these instructions in their entirety,
before attempting to install the HotRod Joystick to your computer.
The box consists of a HotRod joystick, a manual, a registration card, a 6-foot PS/2 to PS/2 keyboard plug, and a
CD-ROM.
Once you remove the HotRod Joystick from the box, please keep in mind that it is a good idea to store the box
because you might need it in the unlikely event that you ship the HotRod back to the manufacturer or distributor.
Set the HotRod down in front of your monitor where the keyboard would normally be, and move your keyboard off
to the side of your work area.
Note: Before you start the installation, remember to turn off your computer first. Some PC's do not agree with hot
swapping. Hot swapping is where you unplug a computer peripheral such as a keyboard, and plug in another similar
peripheral. On occasion some PC's tend to "beep" multiple times as if you were holding down a key on the key
