• 4

  Press the "Sync" button on the wireless receiver.

• 5

  Turn on the wireless guitar. If there is a sync button on your guitar, press it. Otherwise press any button. The LED light on the receiver should change in some way, indicating the guitar is synced to the receiver. For example, the LED light may go from steady blinking to a solid color.

Troubleshooting Problems

  Verify that the guitar controller you are using is compatible with the game you̵7;re playing. If you do not have your PS2 wireless guitar manual, check the guitar manufacturer̵7;s website: There should be a list of games the controller is compatible with.

• 7

  Clear away any objects blocking the path between the guitar and the receiver. Since they communicate via radio waves, objects lying between the guitar and the receiver can disrupt the signal.

• 8

  Move closer to the PS2 console and make sure that you are standing within the line-of-site of the receiver. As previously stated, the guitar communicates with the receiver via radio waves; however, these waves have a limited range.
