<title>Pairing instructions for specific devices</title>
<p>Even if you manage to source the manual for a device, it might not contain
enough information to make pairing possible. Here are details for a few common
devices.</p>

<item>
<title>PlayStation 5 joypads</title>
<p>Holding the <media its:translate="no" type="image" mime="image/svg" src="figures/ps-create.svg">Create</media>
button, press the <media its:translate="no" type="image" mime="image/svg" src="figures/ps-button.svg">PS</media>
button until the light bar is blinking to make it visible and pair it like any other
Bluetooth device.</p>
</item>
<item>
<title>PlayStation 4 joypads</title>
<p>Using the <media its:translate="no" type="image" mime="image/svg" src="figures/ps-button.svg">PS</media>
and “Share” button combination to pair the joypad can also be used to
make the joypad visible and pair it like any other Bluetooth device.</p>
<p>Those devices can also use “cable-pairing”. Plug the joypads in via USB with the
<gui>Bluetooth Settings</gui> opened, and Bluetooth turned on. You will get asked whether
to set those joypads up without needing to press the
<media its:translate="no" type="image" mime="image/svg" src="figures/ps-button.svg">PS</media>
button. Unplug them and press the
<media its:translate="no" type="image" mime="image/svg" src="figures/ps-button.svg">PS</media>
to use them over Bluetooth.</p>

<title>PlayStation 3 BD Remote Control</title>
<p>Hold the “Start” and “Enter” buttons at the same time for around 5 seconds.
You can then select the remote in the devices list as usual.</p>
</item>
<item>
<title>Nintendo Wii and Wii U Remotes</title>
<p>Use the red “Sync” button inside the battery compartment to start the pairing
process. Other button combinations will not keep pairing information, so you would
need to do it all over again in short order. Also note that some software like console
emulators will want direct access to the remotes, and, in those cases, you should
not set them up in the Bluetooth panel. Refer to the application’s manual for
instructions.</p>

<title>ION iCade</title>
<p>Hold down the bottom 4 buttons and the top white button to start the pairing
process. When the pairing instructions appear, make sure to use only the cardinal
directions to input the code, followed by any of the 2 white buttons to the far
right of the arcade stick to confirm.</p>
