• The EVIL
®
MINION is not water resistant.
Excess moisture can cause damage to
electronic parts.
• Keep the board and all electrical components
clean of dirt, paint and moisture.
• To clean the board, use canned air. If a more
aggressive cleaning method is needed,
lightly scrub the components with a soft, dry
brush. Heavy scrubbing will damage the
board.
• A low battery will not be able to power both
the ACE eye and the trigger switch, causing
ACE eye failure.
• If the battery is low, it may not be able to
power the solenoid correctly. This will affect
the EVIL
®
MINION’s velocity, causing it to
become inconsistent and/or low.
• An intermittent blinking orange light
indicates a low battery. A low battery can
cause malfunctions to the marker. In this case
the battery should be changed as soon as
possible.
WARNING
BATTERY
The 9V battery will last for about 40,000 shots. Please be aware that there are substantial differences
in performance between different brands of batteries. Use of high quality alkaline or lithium ion
batteries is recommended for maximum battery life. If you plan not to use your marker for a long
period of time (a month), it is recommended that you remove the battery from the marker. When the
battery voltage starts to get too low, you will notice your velocity starts to decrease and the board can
turn off. For tournament use, it is recommended to change the battery for each tournament. When
changing your battery, take special care to ensure the wiring harness is not pinched under the battery
(see figure 1).
CHANGING THE BATTERY
The battery is housed on the left side of the grip frame. To access the battery, remove the three
screws holding the left side grip panel down. Use a 3/32” Allen wrench. Carefully lift the battery out
of the frame, taking care not to damage the battery lead wires. Clip a new battery into the 9V
connector and carefully place it back back into the frame, making sure that no wires are pinched
underneath the battery.
NOTE: IF THE MARKER WILL NOT FUNCTION WITH
THE EYE ON, THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THE BATTERY
NEEDS TO BE CHANGED.
