Follow these steps to connect your joystick.
1. Turn off your computer.
2. Plug your joystick's connector into the joy-
stick port.
Note
: If you have two joystick ports, you can
use either port, A or B. Most software, howev-
er, uses the top (A) port for the primary joy-
stick. Refer to your software’s user’s manual.
3. Turn on your computer and run your soft-
ware game program.
CENTERING THE JOYSTICK
Your joystick has a spring-loaded self-centering
system that returns the control stick to its center
position when you release it. Before you use the
joystick for the first time, or after you have used
it for a while, this center position might require
fine-tuning.
Software-Controlled Joystick
Centering
Most joystick-compatible software includes a
calibration routine to automatically center a
joystick. If your software has this routine, refer
to the application’s software manual for in-
structions on how to select the joystick as your
input device. Then follow the program's in-
struction screens (which generally appear
within the set-up portion of the program) to de-
fine the limits of the joystick's range.
If the software’s joystick-calibration routine
does not automatically center the joystick, see
“Manual Joystick Centering” to manually ad-
just the appropriate trimmer (X- or Y-axis).
Manual Joystick Centering
Use the X- and Y-axis trimmers to manually
center the joystick if your software does not in-
clude its own calibration routine, or if the rou-
tine does not center the joystick.
The X-axis trimmer adjusts left/right centering,
and the Y-axis trimmer adjusts up/down cen-
tering. Slowly slide each trimmer until your
software's display shows that your joystick is
centered.
