• You'll need to pair a controller when you use it for the first time and when you
use your controller on another PS4™ system. If you want to use two or more
controllers, you must pair each controller.
• After you've paired your controller, you can disconnect the USB cable and use
your controller wirelessly.
• It's possible to use up to four controllers at the same time. When you press the
(PS) button, the light bar glows in your assigned color. The first controller to
connect is blue, with subsequent controllers glowing red, green, and pink.
To later change any settings that you skipped, select (Settings) from the
function screen.
