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 on the
controller will turn off and the assigned number will be cleared.
