The first time you use your controller, you'll need to pair it with your console.

1. Turn on your PS5™ console.
2. Connect the controller to your console using the included USB cable.
3. Press the PS button.
   The controller powers on. After the light bar blinks, the player indicator lights up.

• When your controller has enough battery life, you can disconnect the USB cable and use your controller wirelessly.  

• Please note, your controller can pair with only one PS5 console at a time. When you want to use your controller on another console, you'll need to pair it with that console.  
• You can use up to 4 controllers at the same time. When you press the PS button, a colour is assigned to each player.

Once you have a controller paired with your PS5 console, you can pair an additional controller wirelessly.

1. Make sure that the additional controller's light bar is off before you start pairing. If the light bar is on, press and hold the PS button until the light turns off. 
2. Using the paired controller, go to Settings > Accessories > General > Bluetooth Accessories.  
3. Using the additional controller that you want to pair, press and hold the create button and the PS button at the same time.  
4. Using the controller that's already paired, select the additional controller listed on your screen.
