3. BASIC OPERATION (Cont’d)
• Open the Lid and load quality Empire .68 caliber paintballs (leave some room for paintballs
to move about, inside marker).
• Close the Lid
• Your marker is now loaded.
Loader Operations:
The D*Fender uses three sensors to operate the loading of paintballs: The trigger activation,
the Breech Sensor and the infrared gear sensor. When the Trigger is pulled the loader will
spin to load paintballs. If the Breech Sensor is activated and working properly the loader will
stop spinning once a ball is loaded into the breech. If the Breech Sensor is not active the
loader uses the infrared gear sensor to control speed and stop the loader.
4. FIRING YOUR MARKER
WARNING: Before switching your
D*Fender marker On. Make sure it is
pointed in a safe direction. Everyone
within firing range should always use
paintball approved eye and face protection
in the presence of live paintball mark-
ers. Make sure the marker is set to “Safe
Mode”, before following the steps below.
Always use a barrel plug or barrel block-
ing device. Remember that the ultimate safety device is you, the operator.
Powering On and Off Normal (Live) Mode:
• The Selector Switch must be in the Safe position (white) to turn the marker On
(Fig 4.1). The Selector Switch is located on the left side of the marker
above the Trigger.
• To turn marker On, press the Power Button and hold for 1 second. The LED will glow
Green (or Blue if the battery is low) indicating the marker is powered On and in Safe Mode.
The marker will not fire when in Safe Mode.
• To turn marker Off press and hold the Power Button until the LED turns white.
The Selector Switch position is not important for turning the marker Off.
Note: Make sure Trigger is not pressed when turning board On. This will put the marker in
the Settings Mode. For more info on settings mode see the Settings Mode section below.
LED Indication in Normal (Live) Mode:
The LED uses a combination of colors and flashing to indicate information about your battery
status and the Breech Sensor status. The Battery level is only indicated when the selector
is in the Safe Position and the light will not blink. In all other positions the frequency of the
blinking as explained below will indicate the break beam eye status. “Flicker” blinks the LED
at a higher rate than “Flash”.
