Following instructions can be found in Getting started with motion controllers article.

Notes

Note 1:

To power off PS Move device, hold down the PS button for a long time (about 10 seconds).

Note 2:

MotioninJoy replaces bluetooth adapter's drivers by special ones to be able to operate with different game controllers including PS Move. As a result you'll be unable to use the same bluetooth adapter to communicate with ordinal bluetooth devices like wireless mouses, keyboards, headsets, etc. To overcome this drawback you can choose one of the following ways:

1. Use the second bluetooth adapter to communicate with ordinal bluetooth devices.
2. Uninstall MotioninJoy drivers each time after usage. To do that:
   • run MotioninJoy Gamepad tool (also known as DS3_tool)
   • click Driver Manager
   • select the only line with the aid of checkbox
   • click Roll back
