Chapter 1 - Installation of the Trust Predator Extreme
1.1
Using one joystick
1.
Turn off the power to your computer.
2.
Pull out the DIN 5-pin male connector of the keyboard.
3.
Plug the DIN 5-pin male connector of the "T"-type connector (from the Trust Predator
Extreme) into the keyboard port.
4.
Plug the keyboard DIN 5-pin male connector into the DIN 5-pin female connector of the "T"-
type connector.
5.
Plug The Trust Predator Extreme connector into the 15-pin joystick port located on your game
card or enhanced sound card. The Trust Predator Extreme can be plugged into either joystick
Port A or Port B.
6.
Turn the computer on and start your software program.
7.
Select "Joystick with Throttle", "Joystick with HAT switch" or "Joystick" from the option
menu, depending on your software.
1.2
Throttle Control
Throttle Control allows you to adjust the speed of your aircraft or vehicle without having to access
your keyboard. The Trust Predator Extreme throttle controller is the wheel located on the base of
the joystick. Some flight simulators and other advanced game software use throttle control, while
others don't. Rotate the Trust Predator Extreme Throttle Controller towards you until it stops in
order to reduce the throttle to zero before starting a software program which uses throttle control.
How to use the throttle control:
1.
Increase throttle by pushing the wheel away from you; decrease throttle by pulling it toward
you.
2.
When you wish to utilize two joysticks in a two-player game (each player using a joystick), it
is very important that the Throttle Controller is turned to Zero.
Chapter 2 - Programming your Trust Predator Extreme
The Trust Predator Extreme was designed as a programmable joystick, with no need for any
software driver. Compared to other programmable joysticks available in the market currently, the
Trust Predator Extreme is indeed convenient for the end-user. Please follow these steps to
program your Trust Predator Extreme:
1.
Study the manual of the software which you are going to play with.
2.
Determine all function keys of the software. Normally these function keys can be found on the
keyboard.
3.
The Trust Predator Extreme provides two banks for key memories. In other words, you can
have 2 sets of function keys (for two programs) memorized by the Trust Predator Extreme.
Before you program the function keys on the Trust Predator Extreme, you must decide what
bank is going to be used for the software. You can use bank 1 or bank 2, to be selected with
the bank selection switch.
4.
Switch the "set" switch to "on" position, and check if the indicator is off.
2.1
Assigning the function keys
2.1.1 One function key to one button
1.
Make a decision which function key will be assigned to which button of the Trust Predator
Extreme.
2.
Hold down the button on the Trust Predator Extreme you want to assign a function key to, and
check whether the indicator is blinking.
3.
Use your other hand to push the key on the keyboard once. If the indicator flashes, the key
function is transferred to the Trust Predator Extreme. You can release the button on the Trust
Predator Extreme now.
4.
Repeat step 1 to 3 for the remaining keys.
5.
When all keys are programmed, please set the switch from "Set" to "Off" position, and check
whether the indicator is on.
