Q: Were the PowerA Pro Series controllers affected by the PS3 3.5 firmware update?
A: Sony recently updated the PS3 firmware to version 3.50, which according to several
media outlets has caused issues with some third-party controllers because they utilize
the PS3 USB ports. We have thoroughly tested our Pro Series controllers for PS3
and have found that even with the PS3 firmware update, PowerA controllers still
function perfectly during gameplay. The only effect of the firmware update is that
the Player Indicator lights no longer show the player number assigned to the controller,
but instead light up Player 1 and 2 simultaneously. Players can tell which player
number they were assigned by pressing the "Home" button and checking the
information at the top of the screen. For more information, please contact
Customer Service.

The Anakin and Yoda Clone Wars: Light-Up Lightsabers
for Wii
Q: I put the Wii™ remote into the handle, but my Lightsaber™ doesn't
seem to work with the game.
A: Try one of these two solutions:
- Complete any game set-up steps with the remote outside of the Lightsaber handle.
Once the gameplay includes a "duel with lightsabers" section, just insert
the remote in the handle and play!
- You may need to adjust the settings on your Wii. Enter the Wii Options Menu and
choose Wii Settings, then select Sensor Bar and then Sensitivity. Push the "+"
button until it is on the highest sensitivity level. Make sure you have your sensor
bar correctly set to "above" or "below" the screen in the Sensor
Bar Position Menu.
Q: My Lightsaber doesn't light up.
A: The light-up feature uses two AAA batteries, which are not included. To install
the batteries, use a small Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the screws in the
battery compartment door on the back of the handle. Insert two AAA batteries. Replace
the cover, replace the screws, turn the switch to ON, and see the light!
Q: I put the two pieces of my Lightsaber together but now I can't get them apart.
A: This product uses the PowerA "Twist and Lock" mechanism for safety
and security. To separate the pieces, hold onto the upper part of the handle (near
the light ON/OFF switch) with your left hand. With your right hand, put your thumb
on the front of the rotating ring and wrap your forefinger around the back. Gently
pull down on the ring and rotate to the left. With your left hand gently pull the
blade away from the handle. To reconnect, engage the secure "Twist and Lock"
feature by pushing the two pieces together until you hear a click.
Q: What games can I use these with?
A: Although PowerA Light-Up Lightsabers can be used with a wide variety of games,
they work best with Star Wars® The Clone Wars™: Lightsaber Duels™
(launched 11/08) and Star Wars The Clone Wars: Republic Heroes™ (launched
10/09).
Q: Can I buy replacement Lightsaber parts?
A: If you have a product issue, please contact Customer
Service.

A: Yes. You can delete UMEE from your device and iTunes and download it again. You
