Hints
Pairing and assigning controller numbers can only be done when the system
is turned on (when the 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 on the
controller will turn off and the assigned number will be cleared.
