OTHER ISSUES

Problem: Player cannot move left/right/up/down when using the Gyroxus.

Solution1: Make sure the Thumb Stick/Gyroxus switch is in the Gyroxus mode.

Solution2: Reset the Game Controller.

 

Problem: All the action moves backward or up, player does not move forward or down.

Solution: Move the Seatback forward to center the player in the Gyroxus.

Solution2: Reset the Game Controller.

 

Problem: The Home Button light blinks.

Solution: Reset the Game Controller.

 

Problem: The menu scrolls up or down all the time.

Solution: Make sure the yellow bubble level is centered when you are at the menu screen. If you are leaning forward or backward, the game console thinks you are giving it a command to move up or down. Alternatively, you can switch the Gyroxus/Thumb Stick Selector to the Thumb Stick mode for menu selection, and switch it back to Gyroxus mode for game play.

Solution2: Reset the Game Controller.

 

Problem: The Gyroxus does not control the game's action.

Solution1: Switch the Gyroxus/Thumb Stick Selector from Thumb Stick mode to Gyroxus mode.

Solution2: If there are other game controllers connected to your Game Console, disconnect them and reset your Gyroxus Game Controller. Then reconnect the other controllers.

 

Problem: The Home Button Light does not come on when I turn on my PS3 Game Controller.

Solution: Change the two AA batteries in the controller. Be sure to dispose of the old batteries properly. After changing the batteries, reset the Game Controller.

 

Problem: The Game Controller seems loose when I move it forward and backward.

Solution: Open the top Quick-Release Clamp (which holds the Game Controller to the Control Arm), tighten the Thumb Knob on the other side of the Arm 1/2 turn and re-clamp the Quick-Release. The Quick-Release should clamp securely. Repeat for the bottom Quick-Release (which holds the Control Arm to the Drive Assembly). If it still seems loose, repeat with another 1/2 turn of the Thumb Knob until there is no play.
