{% step %}

## Put the Cronus Zen in Gearhead (Idle) Mode

* Connect the Zen to the PS5® front USB port.
* If Zen's display shows a Gamepack or script icon, tap Zen's right blue button until the Gearhead logo appears.

{% hint style="info" %}
To verify that the Gearhead logo is the default screen, unplug the **rear USB port cable**, then reconnect it once.\
Confirm that the Gearhead logo remains displayed.

After verification, unplug the cable again so the Cronus Zen is no longer connected to the PS5®.

* Connect the controller to the Zen’s **A1 USB port** (left-side USB).

* Highlight the **DualSense™ or DualSense Edge™ controller** using the D-Pad.\
  Do not press **✕ (Cross)**.

{% step %}

## Execute the Bypass
