STRATUS XL 1 COMPATIBILITY - Requires iOS 7 or newer on one of the following devices: • iPhone ® 6, iPhone ® 6 Plus, iPhone ® 5, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5s or later. • iPad ® mini, iPad mini with Retina, iPad air, iPad 4th generation or later. • iPod ® touch 5th generation or later. MAC SUPPORT - Works with Mavericks or later. CONTENTS CONTROLLER2X AA BATTERIES 2 MORE INFO FAQ.STEELSERIES.COM SUPPORT.STEELSERIES.COM SHOP.STEELSERIES.COM 3 1. Turn on controller by sliding the power switch on the underside of the controller. 2. LEDs will light up solid for the first five seconds, indicating battery life. 3. All four LEDs will flash ON and OFF evenly when the Controller is not paired. 4. To pair the Controller, go to your iOS device and follow the User Interface flow below: Settings > Turn On Bluetooth > Search for new Devices “SteelSeries Stratus XL” will be displayed on the screen. Click to Connect via Bluetooth. 5. If the Controller has paired successfully, the LEDs will flash ON and OFF unevenly (rapidly). 6. If the Controller is paired and the user starts a game, one of the four LEDs will light up solid, depending on the player number (1-4) assigned. 7. When the Controller battery charge gets low (~20 minutes remaining), the LEDs will start flashing continuously for 5 seconds. INITIALIZATION 4 The Stratus XL will remember the last paired iOS Device. When you reset the power on the Stratus XL, it will automatically connect to the last paired iOS device. If you are already connected to an iOS device and want to change the device that you’re playing on, there are two ways to do this, as follows: 1. If you want to erase the history of all the devices stored on your controller, hold down the pairing button on the back of the controller for 5 seconds. The LED’s should blink 1 and 3 followed by 2 and 4. This means that all of the history stored in the controller has been erased, it will enter pairing mode, and it will search for new iOS Devices (refer to the image below). [NOTE: We highly recommend option #1 over option #2] 2. If you want the controller to enter “pairing mode” without erasing prior history, press the pairing button for 2 seconds. The LED’s should blink 1 and 2 followed by 3 and 4. This means that the controller is in pairing mode and will search for new devices (refer to the image below). Please go to www.steelseries.com/stratusXL/faq for more detailed product information. ADDITIONAL NOTES 5 1. Allumez la manette en faisant glisser l’interrupteur situé en dessous. 2. Des LED s’allumeront en fixe pendant les cinq premières secondes, indiquant le niveau de batterie. 3. Les quatre LED clignoteront de manière régulière si la manette n’est pas appairée. 4. Pour appairer la manette, rendez-vous sur votre appareil iOS et suivez les instructions de l’Interface Utilisateur : Paramètres > Allumer Bluetooth > Recherche de nouveaux appareils « SteelSeries Stratus XL » sera affiché sur l’écran. Cliquez pour vous connecter via Bluetooth. 5. Si la manette s’est appairée avec succès, les LED clignoteront de manière irrégulière (rapidement). 6. Si la manette est appairée et que l’utilisateur lance un jeu, une des quatre LED s’allumera en fixe, selon le numéro de joueur (1 à 4) assigné. 7. Lorsque la charge de la batterie est basse (- de 20 minutes restantes), les LED se mettent à clignoter de manière continue pendant 5 secondes. INITIALISATION 6 La Stratus XL se souviendra du dernier appareil iOS appairé. Lorsque vous réinitialisez l’alimentation de la Stratus XL, elle se connecte automatiquement au dernier appareil iOS appairé. Si vous êtes déjà connecté à un appareil iOS et que vous souhaitez changer l’appareil sur lequel vous jouez, voici les deux façons de procéder : 1. Si vous souhaitez effacer l’historique de tous les appareils stocké dans votre manette, maintenez le bouton d’appairage à l’arrière de la manette pendant 5 secondes. Les LED 1 et 3 devraient clignoter, puis 2 et 4. Ceci signifie que tout l’historique stocké dans la manette a été effacé. Elle passera ensuite en mode appairage et cherchera un nouvel appareil iOS (référez-vous à l’image ci-dessous). [REMARQUE : Nous vous recommandons fortement l’option nº 1 plutôt que l’option nº 2] 2. Si vous souhaitez que la manette passe en « mode appairage » sans effacer l’historique précédent, appuyez sur le bouton d’appairage pendant 2 secondes. Les LED 1 et 2 devraient clignoter, puis 3 et 4. Cela signifie que la manette est en mode d’appairage et cherche de nouveaux appareils (référez-vous à l’image ci-dessous). Veuillez visiter www.steelseries.com/stratusXL/faq pour des informations détaillées sur le produit. NOTES SUPPLÉMENTAIRES 7 1. Encienda el controlador deslizando el interruptor de encendido en la parte inferior del controlador. 2. Los LED se iluminan en forma constante durante los primeros cinco segundos, lo que indica la duración de la batería. 3. Los cuatro LED se encienden y apagan uniformemente cuando el controlador no está vinculado. 4. Para vincularlo, siga la siguiente ruta de interfaz del usuario en su dispositivo iOS: Configuración > Encender Bluetooth > Buscar dispositivos nuevos “SteelSeriesStratus XL” aparecerá en la pantalla. Haga clic en Conectarse vía Bluetooth. 5. Si el controlador se vinculó correctamente, se encenderán y apagarán los LED rápidamente (en forma desigual). 6. Si el controlador está vinculado y el usuario abre un juego, uno de los cuatro LED se enciende continuamente, según el número de jugador asignado (de 1 a 4). 7. Cuando la carga de la batería del controlador es baja (~20 minutos restantes), los LED se encienden intermitentemente durante 5 segundos. INICIO 8 El Stratus XL recordará el último dispositivo iOS vinculado. Cuando reinicie el Stratus XL, se conecta automáticamente al último dispositivo iOS vinculado. Si ya está conectado a un dispositivo iOS y quiere cambiar el dispositivo en el que juega, puede hacerlo de las dos maneras siguientes: 1. Si quiere borrar el historial de todos los disposit…
