Over Bluetooth the Tarantula Pro uses two patterns: channels 1 & 5 for Android and channels 2/3/4 for iOS and Windows. Watch the indicators, then finish pairing from the device's Bluetooth menu. For PC gaming the 2.4G dongle (XInput) is recommended over Bluetooth for lower latency.

FAQ

On iOS the indicator color looks different.
That's normal — iOS lets you set the controller's HOME light color under Settings → General → Game Controller.
Bluetooth or the dongle on PC?
Use the 2.4G dongle for lowest latency and so GameSir Connect can detect it. Bluetooth pairs in DS4 mode and Connect won't see it then.
