  • Launch the Windows [Control Panel]
or

  • Open [Devices and Printers]

 


  • Locate and right-click on the icon for [Footcontrol USB]

If you do not see the above icon then the Foot Control has not been successfully installed by Windows and you need to contact support.


  • Select [Game controller settings]

You should be presented with the [Footcontrol USB] with a status of [OK]


  • Click the [Properties] button

You are presented with the [Test] panel and 4 red circles representing the Foot Pedal pedal status-condition


  • Individually ‘press and hold’ each of the Foot Control pedals. A numbered circle will ‘light’, indicating which pedal was pressed
