To wirelessly connect your controller to your console: 1) Press the Xbox Guide button to turn on the controller. 2) Press the power button to turn on the console. 3) Press the connect button on the console. 4) Press the connect button on the controller. 5) After the Ring of Light on the controller and console spin and flash once, the controller is connected. The quadrant that remains lighted indicates the controller’s position. Note: When the console is turned off, the controller will still be connected the next time it is turned on. Note: Each wireless controller can be connected to only one console at a time. It is possible to connect to a new console at any time, but the wireless connection to the previously connected console will be lost.

To turn the power back on, press any of the action buttons. Using the Guitar Hero™ Wireless Les Paul Controller The Xbox Guide button - Press this button to turn the console on or go to the Xbox Guide if the console is already on. See the Xbox 360™ setup manual for more details of about the Xbox Guide button. The Ring of Light – The Xbox Guide button is surrounded by a Ring of Light, which has four quadrants. When the controller is wirelessly connected to the console, it is assigned a quadrant, which glows to indicate the controller’s position.

Motion Sensing System – The controller contains a sensor system to detect movement of the controller. At certain points during game play tilting the controller straight up will activate Star Power.

Faceplates pull off and press on, no tools required. A standard faceplate ships with the controller; additional faceplates are sold separately. To attach your faceplate to your controller: 1. Remove the existing faceplate from the controller by locating the faceplate lever on the rear of the controller body. Slide the lever until the faceplate detaches. Make sure you keep the controller from falling by firmly holding it in place as you pull on the faceplate. Take care not to damage the Whammy bar as the faceplate is detached. 2. Align the tabs on the new faceplate with the slots on the controller body and press it in place until it locks. Guitar Hero™ Wireless Les Paul Controller Compatibility The controller is designed specifically for Guitar Hero™ games. It does not contain all of the functionality of an Xbox 360™ controller. The Motion Sensing System is mapped to the Left and Right Triggers as
found on a standard controller and may cause conflicts when navigating some areas of the Xbox Dashboard. If you experience a problem, disable the motion sensing system by holding or laying the controller so it is flat as shown below. If you are still unable to navigate from a screen, unplug the controller and insert a standard Xbox 360™ controller to navigate the Xbox Dashboard and then re-connect the controller. Troubleshooting If you encounter problems, try the possible solutions provided below. The controller does not respond. • Move the controller closer to the console. • Check the batteries still have some charge. • Make sure the controller is not in “sleep mode”. See the “Power Save Mode” section of the manual for more details. • Keep the console and controller at least two feet away from large metal objects. • Make sure the front of the console is positioned in the direction of the controller. • Cordless phones (2.4GHz), wireless LANs, microwave ovens and some cell phones can cause interference. Turn these products off or unplug and try reconnecting the controller. If none of these solutions work turn the console off, remove and reinsert the batteries into the controller and repeat the steps for connecting the controller to the console.
