Joystick

Your RadioShack Joystick lets you take control of the latest computer games! The joystick’s ad-

vanced design provides comfortable and accurate control during simulated flights, and provides

equal control-stick tension in all directions for fluid, precise tracking.

The joystick’s advanced features include:

Selectable Throttle Control

— provides three ways to control engine speed.

2- or 4-Button Fire Mode

— gives you the flexibility you need to play games that require multi-

ple controls.

Suction Cup Feet

— help keep the joystick firmly in place when the action gets hot!

X- and Y-Axis Trim Controls

— provide extra-fine tuning to help center the joystick.

COMPATIBILITY

Hardware

— Your joystick works with IBM

and compatible PCs equipped with a joystick port,

using the industry-standard 15-pin D subminiature connector. Joystick ports are also available

on game cards and enhanced sound cards.

Important Note:

To take advantage of all of your joystick’s features, you must have a game

card with a single dual-port installed in your computer. A dual-port game card is designed to

run two 2-button joysticks at the same time (using a Y-connector).

Software

— You can use your joystick with any PC-compatible software that supports a joy-

stick.

Note:

The function of each of the joystick’s buttons depends on the game you are playing. Con-

sult your game’s owner’s manual for more information.

Before you use the joystick for the first time or after you use it for a while, you might need to fine-tune the center position.
