Stick Calibration
1. Connect the phone, then press and hold 
on the controller for 3 seconds until the indicator flashes, indicating successful entry into calibration mode.
2. In calibration mode, follow these steps to complete the calibration:
a) Rotate the sticks to their maximum angle three times, then allow them to return to the initial position naturally.
b) Press 
to complete and exit calibration mode.
*Maintain a consistent speed during calibration to avoid data collection errors.
*If the sticks on the controller are functioning normally, do not calibrate unnecessarily.
Silicone Pad Installation
GameSir-X5 Lite features a swappable silicone pad design on both sides of the Type-C port, allowing users to customize the pad thickness based on their device. When installing, ensure the thicker side of the silicone pad faces upward and the thinner side faces downward.
1. For devices without a protective case, use the thick silicone pads.
2. For devices with a protective case, use the thin silicone pads or hole-covering silicone pads.
3. Ensure the edges of the silicone pads fit securely against the controller to prevent them from falling off.
