when it is completely drained, otherwise it will suer from the so called “memory
eect”.
Operating instructions for the bonus triggers
The bonus triggers which are included in the delivery are NOT for use with the
Premium Bluetooth Controller. These bonus triggers can only be tted on the
original SIXAXIS or DualShock 3 controller’s L2 and R2 triggers. This changes the
convex trigger shape to a much more soothing concave trigger shape.
Set the bonus triggers on top of the L2/R2 triggers and push them down. These
should latch over them with a little bit of force.
Synchronisation of the Premium Bluetooth Controller
In order to use the snakebyte Premium Bluetooth Controller with your PlayStation
3 it needs to be synchronised with the console.
Registration of the Premium Bluetooth Controller

Premium Bluetooth Controller.
Turn on the PlayStation 3
Press the Home Button (3)
The controller is registered as soon as one of the red LED’s on top of the
controller constantly glows. The position of the LED shows the controller’s
number.
Charging the Premium Bluetooth Controller
With a controller registered to the console:
Fast ashing of the LED shows that the battery is nearly discharged and
charging of the internal battery with the USB cable is required.
Slow ashing of the LED shows that the battery is being charged (with the
USB cable connected)
If the battery is fully charged, the LED will glow constantly.
With a controller not registered to the console:
If the controller LED ashes quickly, it is activated but not registered to
the console. After a minute of scanning for a connection unsuccessfully, the
controller will enter sleep mode.
If the LED ashes slowly and constantly, the controller is being charged.
If the controller is fully charged, the LED will not glow.
Charging with the PS3:
To charge the controller, connect it with the USB cable to the PS3. Is the PS3
turned on, the LED should ash slowly, which indicates charging of the
controller.
If the controller is in charging status and is registered to the PS3, it will not enter
sleep mode, as long as the controller is not fully charged. If the controller is fully
charged (LED glows constantly), it can be operated normally. If it is not used for
some time, the controller enters sleep mode to soothe the battery.
Charging with a dierent USB device:
If you want to charge the controller with a variable USB device (e.g. PC, snakebyte
PS3 Charging Cradle), connect the controller via any USB cable to your PC.

To register the controller with the PS3, detach the USB cable from the PC
and press Home (3)
If the controller is registered to the PS3 and is being charged by the PC for
some time, it will enter sleep mode. Even in sleep mode, the controller will
charge continuously.
