To connect a PS4 controller to a PlayStation 4 console, follow these steps:
- Turn on Your PS4 Console:
- Press the power button on the front of your PS4 console to turn it on.
- Activate the PS4 Controller:
- Press and hold the “PlayStation” button in the center of the controller until the light on the back starts flashing.
- Put the Controller in Pairing Mode:
- While the light is flashing, the controller is in pairing mode. This means it’s ready to connect to a new device.
- Navigate to Settings:
- Using your existing controller or the buttons on the console itself, go to the main menu and select “Settings.”
- Access Devices:
- In the Settings menu, select “Devices.”
- Select Bluetooth Devices:
- In the Devices menu, select “Bluetooth Devices.”
- Choose Your Controller:
- In the Bluetooth Devices menu, select “Wireless Controller.” Your PS4 will search for nearby Bluetooth devices.
- Connect the Controller:
- Once your PS4 locates the controller, it will appear on the screen. Select it to initiate the connection.
- Test the Connection:
- After selecting the controller, press the “PlayStation” button. If successful, the light on the back of the controller will stop flashing and remain a solid color, indicating that it’s connected.
- Finished:
- Your PS4 controller is now connected to your console and ready to use.
Please note that the PS4 controller can only be connected to one device at a time. If you want to connect it to a different device, you’ll need to follow these steps again. Additionally, make sure your PS4 and controller have enough battery power to complete the process.
