Enable DualShock 4 Bluetooth Searching
 
Check the box to the Left of 'Enable DualShock 4/Wiimote Bluetooth searching'.
 
 
The recommended Speed Up Settings when using a DualShock 4 Controller with a Bluetooth 4.0 USB Adapter are as above - you can choose to tweak with them if you have any issues. If you have a slower Bluetooth adapter or experience any issues with rumble then you should try different 'Rumble Over Bluetooth' speed settings. You have the alternative options of Flow Control+, Flow Control and Disabled.
 
You can now close the Options window and disconnect your CronusMAX PLUS from your PC.

Connect the CronusMAX PLUS to your Windows PC
 
 
Connect the CronusMAX PLUS into one of your Windows PC USB ports via it's Output Port.
 
Windows should automatically install the driver for a Xbox 360 wired controller (The protocol that your CronusMAX PLUS is set to). If not, you can manually install the official driver - Download Here.
 
 
  
The CronusMAX PLUS LED Display will now show the spinning Standby animation.

Hold down the SHARE and PS buttons on your DualShock 4
 
Press and hold the SHARE and PS buttons on your DualShock 4 until the light bar starts to flash white.  Once it starts flashing white, the controller is searching and connecting to the CronusMAX PLUS.
 
 
After a few seconds, the light bar should change to a solid color (usually blue if Player 1) and is now paired with the CronusMAX PLUS.
 
Note: If you have trouble pairing your DualShock 4 controller back to your PS4 without using a CronusMAX, follow this troubleshooting guide on our forums.

Ready to Use
 
  
After a couple of seconds the display on the CronusMAX LED will go from the spinning Standby Animation to 0 (or a number if slot recall is enabled and a script was previously loaded) - indicating that the controllers are authorized and you're ready to play. At this point you can use your controller through the CronusMAX PLUS and also load any scripts or GamePacks. It's that simple!

OPTIONAL: Disable DualShock 4 Bluetooth searching
 
If you do not intend to use your DualShock 4 controller without the CronusMAX PLUS in the future, you can now disable DualShock 4 Bluetooth searching to speed up subsequent DualShock 4 wireless syncing.
 
This would also mean that next time, you can skip steps 1 and 2 and instead of holding the SHARE and PS buttons in step 5, you would simply press the PS button
