=======================
Pairing Your Controller
=======================

This guide walks you through setting up a Bluetooth joystick controller to control your ALOHA Mobile.

#. Open the **Settings** menu.

#. Open the **Bluetooth** settings menu.

#. Press and hold the **Share** button on the PS4 controller (see image below for reference).

#. While holding the **Share** button, press and hold the **PS Button**.
After a few seconds, the triangular shaped LED located between the **L2** and **R2** buttons should start rapidly flashing white (about twice a second) at which point you can let go.

#. Wait until you see **Wireless Controller** pop up in the Devices menu.
Select it, and click **Next** on the bottom right of the window.

#. A message should display saying **successfully set up new device 'Wireless Controller'** and the LED should turn blue.
This means the controller is connected to the computer.

#. To disconnect, hold down the **PS Button** for about 10 seconds until the LED turns off.
