Its small, sleek design features a full analog thumb-play joystick, four action buttons and a light, ergonomic design for optimal comfort. The Zeemote™ JS1 wirelessly communicates via Bluetooth® wireless technology® wireless technology with your phone. No cords -- just a mobile phone and the Zeemote controller and you can get your game in anywhere. Games that work with the Zeemote controller deliver a near-console experience. Take a racing game as an example. Move the joystick to the left, and the car turns left. Move it to the right, and the car turns right. Move it a little, and the car turns a little; move it a lot and the car turns hard. It's really that simple! Zeemote enhances mobile game play by providing the type of controls you're used to on game consoles such as the Wii, Xbox and PlayStation! • Connects automatically to your mobile phone via Bluetooth® wireless technology when playing Zeemote-Ready games. • Small and portable with an ergonomic design for improved comfort and control of your game play. • Precision thumb-play analog joystick controller, just like you're used to from your home game console. • Operates on two AAA batteries, providing hours of game play. 1.

Title: Zeemote JS1 User Manual – P/N TBD Status: First Draft Posted Modified: March 25, 2008 4 Zeemote, Inc. Getting started Follow these simple steps to play Zeemote-Ready games with your controller. • Enable Bluetooth® wireless technology communication on your mobile phone, and make your phone discoverable. • Turn on the Zeemote JS1 device. • Set up and run a Zeemote-Ready™ game. 1. Enabling Bluetooth® wireless technology and making your mobile phone discoverable Before you begin, you must make sure that your mobile phone is fully charged. You now need to make sure Bluetooth® wireless technology is enabled on your phone. Go to the Settings section in the main menu for your phone. Open the settings page for “Bluetooth”. Make sure Bluetooth® wireless technology is turned on, and your device is set to be “Discoverable”. Following are quick instructions for owners of Nokia S60 phones (such as Nokia N73 and Nokia N95) and Sony Ericsson phones (such as Sony Ericsson K800i and Sony Ericsson W580i). Please consult the user manual of your mobile phone for more information. Nokia phones From standby, select Menu Æ Tools Æ Bluetooth. Navigate to “Bluetooth” and select “On” to turn it on, if it is currently turned off. Navigate to “My phone’s visibility” and select “Shown to all”. Sony Ericsson phones From standby, select Menu Æ Settings Æ the Connectivity tab Æ Bluetooth. Select “Turn On” to turn it on, if it is currently turned off. 2. Turning your Zeemote JS1 Device on and off To turn on your device, press and hold Button D for 3 seconds until the LED flashes blue and amber. To turn off your device, press and hold Button D for 3 seconds until the LED is turned off. Good to know: Power save mode is always enabled on your Zeemote JS1. If your device is turned on but not connected to a mobile phone for over 5 minutes, the device will turn itself off. Likewise, if the device is turned on, and communicating with a game for over 20 minutes, but the device can detect no interaction with the joystick or the buttons, it will turn itself off as well. 3. Setting up and running a new Zeemote-Ready Game Each Zeemote-Ready game only needs to be set up once. The steps are as follows: • Make sure your phone is fully charged and turned on, Bluetooth® wireless technology is enabled, and your phone is set to be visible to other devices (consult the previous sections for details).
Title: Zeemote JS1 User Manual – P/N TBD Status: First Draft Posted Modified: March 25, 2008 5 Zeemote, Inc. • Turn on your Zeemote JS1 controller. • Navigate to the games section of your phone, and run a new Zeemote-Ready game. Running a Zeemote-Ready Game for the first time The first time you run each Zeemote-Ready game with a Zeemote, you will be taken straight to the Search and Connect menu. The screen will say “Searching for devices (X found)…”, where X is the number of Bluetooth® wireless technology enabled devices found, followed by a new screen that says “Looking up device name X out of Y”, where Y is the number of Bluetooth® wireless technology enabled devices in range. This may take a few moments. Once the search is completed, a list of found Bluetooth® wireless technology enabled devices will be displayed. Scroll through this list and select “Zeemote JS1”, which is the Bluetooth name for your Zeemote device. The screen will show the following message: “Connecting to Zeemote JS1”. This will take only a few seconds. If your Zeemote controller is in range and turned on, it will now say “Connected to Zeemote JS1” You are now ready to play the Zeemote-Ready game using the controller. 4. Running a Zeemote-Ready Game that was set up previously If you have already run a Zeemote-Ready game you have set up before, simply ensure that your Zeemote controller is turned on, and Bluetooth® wireless technology is turned on your mobile phone. Run the game, and the phone will automatically attempt to connect to the Zeemote controller. You will see the following message: “Connecting to Zeemote JS1”. This will take only a few seconds. If your Zeemote controller is in range and turned on, it will now say “Connected to Zeemote JS1” You are now ready to play the Zeemote-Ready game using the controller. Good to know: Depending on the security settings of your phone, a dialog screen may come up with the following question: “Allow application to use connectivity options?” by your phone. Simply choose “Yes” if you see this dialog box 5. Joystick and button functions The Zeemote JS1 controller is easy to operate. The joystick and buttons are dedicated to control your game play and menu interactions within a Zeemote-Ready™ game1. Most Zeemote-Ready games support a consistent and easy to use interface. Advanced controls may be offered by some games; consult game instructions for details. Mode Interaction Typical Zeemote-Ready™ game response Game play Moving the joystick Moves a game character Tapping button A Primary trigger: Fire or select 1 The Zeemote JS1 will only interact with Zeemote ready games and applications and cannot be used to drive generic menu interactions and general navigation on your mobile phone.

What the lights mean The LED on the top surface of the device will flash in different colors and patterns depending on the mode that the device is in. The flashing patterns include the following: Flashing pattern What it means Off Device is turned off Slowly flashing amber and blue Device is turned on and ready to connect Slowly flashing in blue Device is connected to a Zeemote-Ready game on a phone Flashing in amber Battery level is low and needs to be replaced
Title: Zeemote JS1 User Manual – P/N TBD Status: First Draft Posted Modified: March 25, 2008 7 Zeemote, Inc. 7. Replacing batteries The Zeemote controller uses two AAA batteries. To replace the batteries, squeeze the battery door gently at the location shown, then rock it out along the body of the Zeemote JS1 controller, and then up. Good to know: When the LED flashes amber, it is time to change the batteries! Squeeze on both sides Slide door up then out Replace batteries

Taking care of your Zeemote JS1 Your Zeemote JS1 controller is lightweight and portable. To preserve its surface finish, carry it separately from objects such as car keys that might scratch the surface of the Zeemote controller. If the device needs to be cleaned, simply wipe it with a damp paper towel and let it air dry. Your Zeemote controller is not waterproof and cannot be submerged. If your device gets wet, it should be wiped clean of any traces of water in order to protect it from potential damage. 9. Troubleshooting I cannot turn my Zeemote JS1 Controller on. Make sure you are holding down the D button for at least 3 seconds. If the LEDs still don’t come on, try replacing the batteries with fresh batteries, and make sure the batteries are put in the right way. Please refer to the image in the “Replacing batteries” section of this manual for further instructions. There is also a battery polarity indicator near the end of the device when the battery door is removed. I am getting a “Failed to Connect” message when I try to run my game. Check that your phone is fully charged and Bluetooth® wireless technology is turned on, and your Zeemote JS1 is turned on. Also check that the game you are trying to play is indeed Zeemote-Ready. Also check that you have fresh batteries on your Zeemote JS1. Also check that the Zeemote JS1 is within range of your mobile phone (they must be within 33 feet or 10 meters of each other). In rare occasions, you can have an older version of the same game residing on your phone prior to your purchase of a Zeemote-Ready Game. If there is more than one version of the game you are trying to run, make sure you run the one that is Zeemote-Ready. I am moving the joystick and clicking buttons, but nothing happens in the game. Check that the LED is slow flashing blue – this indicates that the device is connected to the game. If the device is not flashing at all, or it is flashing amber and blue, the connection has been broken. You will need to exit the game and start it again with the Zeemote JS1 turned on. I see several Zeemote JS1 entries in the Search and Connect screen. Currently the factory standard Bluetooth® wireless technology name for all Zeemote JS1 devices is the same: “Zeemote JS1”. If you are setting up new games with others who also have Zeemote JS1 controllers turned on and ready to connect, it will be difficult to determine which entry corresponds to your own Zeemote JS1. To solve this problem, move out of range of the other Zeemote JS1’s (33 feet or 10 meters). Alternatively, if you are playing with friends and family, you can ask the other Zeemote JS1 owners to turn their devices off while you set up your new game. Once the game is set up it will always connect to your Zeemote controller first.
Title: Zeemote JS1 User Manual – P/N TBD Status: First Draft Posted Modified: March 25, 2008 9 Zeemote, Inc. The display on my phone keeps dimming out during game play. Depending on power save settings on your mobile phone, your phone can dim out during game play when no keys are clicked on the phone for a long time. This can happen if you are playing a Zeemote-Ready game using a Zeemote JS1 controller. Clicking any arrow key on the phone itself will reactivate the screen. Still having trouble?
