TABLE OF CONTENTS LAYOUT 2 POWER SAVE MODE 3 MULTIPLE CONTROLLERS 3 CAUTIONS 3 TROUBLESHOOTING 4 WARRANTY 5 TECHNICAL SUPPORT 5 LAYOUT Base Unit: Used to transmit and receive data from the controller to the game console. Houses two memory card expansion slots. Directional Pad: The D-pad controls the direction in which the character moves. Analog Sticks: The two analog sticks each control two axes (X-and Y-axis). Certain software titles will allow you to modify the way that the analog sticks are used and react in the games. Triggers Buttons (L and R): These are action buttons and their specific functions depend on the software being used. Action Buttons ( A, B, X, Y, Black, White ) : These buttons are used to perform various actions, depending on the software. For more details, see the software instruction manual. Start Button: This button is generally used to make selections in the menus and for pausing the game. For more details, see the software instruction manual. Back Button: This button is used to navigate backwards in the game menus. For more details, see the software instruction manual. Channel Selector: This is used for selecting a unique channel for each player's Lynx and Base Unit Motor Control Selector: This is used to choose whether the motors are "0" (off), "1" (low intensity), or "2" (high intensity). 12 BASE UNIT CONTROLLER MEMORY CARD SLOTS MOTOR CONTROL SELECTOR CHANNEL SELECTOR ANALOG STICK ANALOG STICK BACK START WHITE BLACK ACTION BUTTONS DIRECTIONAL PA D POWER SAVE MODE The Lynx controller has an automatic “Sleep” mode -- when the controller is not in use for more than three minutes, the controller will partially turn itself off in order to conserve batteries. To wake the controller from sleep mode, press D-Pad, analog sticks, BACK button or START button of the controller. When storing the controller for extended periods of time, or while traveling with the controller, remove the batteries to conserve battery life. MULTIPLE CONTROLLERS If you want to use two or more Lynx controllers at the same time (as in multi- player games), simply plug the controllers into the game system as you normally would and begin play. Confirm that each Lynx controller has a unique player number (1,2,3 or 4) and that it matches the player number selected on the Base Unit. When you play in the multi-player mode: 1. Insert the game disk and turn on your console. 2. Insert the Base Unit for the first controller into the Player-1 Controller port on the game console. 3. Confirm the link between first Base Unit and first Lynx by using the controller to see if it works in the game or game menu. 4. Insert the Base Unit for the second Lynx into the Player-2 Controller port on the game console. 5. Confirm the link between second Base Unit and second Lynx controller by using the controller to see if it works in the game or game menu. 6. IMPORTANT – Confirm that each Lynx controller has a unique player number (channel 1,2,3 or 4) and that it matches the player number selected on the Base Unit. CAUTIONS - IMPORTANT!

Product and General Information Manufacturer: Mad Catz, Incorporated Model No.: Base Unit Serial No.: Engineering Unit Description: 2.4 GHz Wireless Controller for the X-Box video game system. 7. Product Description The Mad Catz Lynx™ wireless controller is used with the X-box video game system to provide the user with the comfort of a remote controller with out the hindrance of cables and wires. There are two components to the Lynx™ wireless system: a “Game Controller”, and a “Base Unit”. The Mad Catz Lynx™ system replaces the normally wired connection between the Handset game controller and the X-box. One of twelve possible channels is used in the 2.4 GHz ISM band, depending on the setting of the ‘player number’ switch and if any of the other channels are already occupied. The system supports up to four players and each player will use one of three possible channels: Player Number Channel Number Frequency (MHz) 1 2408.448 1 5 2433.024 9 2457.600 2 2414.592 2 6 2439.168 10 2463.744 3 2420.736 3 7 2445.312 11 2469.888 4 2426.880 4 8 2451.456 12 2476.032 The Handset contains a Controller board and an RF Transceiver board. The Handset Controller board consists of the various game control devices such as switches and joy-sticks, which are multiplexed into the microprocessor, which in turn controls the RF transceiver. The Base unit contains the same RF transceiver board, and a separate controller board with a microprocessor that controls the RF communications, and a microprocessor that interfaces with the game box. A packetized protocol is used in bi-directional communications with the Base. To maximize battery life, the Handset microprocessor places itself and the RF transceiver board in a sleep mode immediately after a transaction is finished. The microprocessor’s onboard sleep timer is used to wake the microprocessor up approximately 9 ms later. At this time data, is gathered from the game control devices, and the RF transceiver board is awakened to perform its internal self-alignment process. The data is then packetized in a proprietary format and sent (using a simple FSK protocol) to the Base unit. The Base unit receives the packet, decodes it to ensure the packet is valid, and returns a shorter Acknowledge message to the Handset. The entire transaction takes less than 500 microseconds. L.S.
