SETTINGS AND FUNCTIONS
M8 BOARD
BATTERY
Blue - Rate Of Fire (ROF) Values 1 - 20 (factory default 20bps)
The ROF setting is used to set the maximum rate of fire of the M8.
The values do not correspond directly to a certain Balls Per Second
(BPS) value. You will need to use the table below to locate your
desired maximum ROF setting.
The factory setting is 20 (30bps).
Yellow - Firing Mode Values 1 - 4 (default 1)
This setting changes the firing mode of the M8. Default is
semiautomatic. In the semiautomatic mode, one trigger pull
shoots out one paintball. The PSP/NPPL mode and the Millennium
mode follow the rules of the paintball tournament series.
Value 1 - NPPL/Semi-automatic Mode
Value 2 - PSP Mode
Value 3 - Millennium Mode
Value 4 - NXL
NOTE: You cannot turn your marker off with the power button when the marker is in
configuration mode. You must first set DIP switch 2 to the OFF position.
TO CHANGE A VALUE OF A SETTING
1. While in the configuration mode, choose the color you wish to change by pulling the trigger.
2. When the LED indicates the color you wish to change, pull and hold the trigger until the LED
starts to flash.
3. The LED will flash as many times as the previous setting was and it will then turn off. Now pull
the trigger as many times as you wish the new setting to be.
4. When done, the LED will cycle through all the colors again to indicate setting was saved and
turn back to green. You can now change another setting or quit the configuration mode.
5. To exit configuration mode, set DIP 2 to the OFF position.

BATTERY
Standard 9V batteries 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.
An intermittent blinking blue 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. When the battery
voltage starts to go too low, you will notice a decrease in your
velocity 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.
