PlayStation Link USB Adapter 

Quick Start Guide

Welcome! 

Let's pair and connect your new PlayStation Link™ adapter to your PS Link device. Your new, standalone adapter isn't paired to any devices out of the box.

Before we begin, make sure your adapter has the type of connector you want to use. This can either be a Type-C® connector (attached out of the box) or a Type-A connector (included with your standalone adapter).

Don't use tools or your fingernails to remove the connector.

Grip the plastic base of the connector, and carefully pull it out. Then, insert the other connector. 

What type of PS Link device do you want to pair and connect to your adapter?

PULSE Elite wireless headset 

  1. Start by turning on the device you want to connect to your headset. This could be your PS5 console, PC, or Mac.
  2. Insert the adapter into a USB port on your chosen device. For the best PS Link connection, use a port without any objects around it to avoid blockage or interference. 
  3. Press the PS Link button on your headset to turn it on. Then, press and hold the button for approximately 8 seconds, and release it when the status indicator quickly blinks blue. 
  4. Now press the PS Link button on the USB adapter. The indicator on the adapter blinks while searching for a PS Link device.
