PAIRING WITH THE PS3 SYSTEM: AUTOMATIC MODE

You must use the USB cable to pair your headset using the PS3 system automatic mode.

1. Check that the PS3 system is turned on.
2. Check that the PS3 system software is version 2.50 or later. If you have an earlier version, you need to update the software before you can use the automatic mode for pairing.
3. Insert the mini-B connector of the supplied USB cable directly into the USB port on your headset. Insert the other end of the cable into a USB port on the PS3 system.

The power indicator on the headset lights up in solid green for two seconds to indicate that the headset and the PS3 system have been paired.
