User Manual

The programming menu system is activated by holding down the trigger while turning the board on. The OLED
display will show “Menu system initiated….” Further details regarding the menu system can be found below.
If selected in the menu system, the game timer will replace the current rate of fire indicator on the OLED display.
The game timer must first be primed by holding down the trigger for 4 seconds. A “timer ready” message will flash
on the display. The game timer will then start on the next trigger pull.
SELECT FIRE
Software releases dated after July 1, 2009, contain the new select fire functionality. This allows you to pick up to
three different fire modes which can be cycled through during game play. The modes are chosen in the
programming menu using the fire mode 1, 2, and 3 settings. You can choose to use just one (which disables select
fire), two, or three modes at a time.
If select fire modes are enabled, you can cycle through them during play by pressing the bottom switch for ½
second. The OLED display will show the current fire mode as it changes. All fire modes share the same rate of fire
setting, unless unlimited semi-automatic is chosen. This allows you to have combinations such as unlimited semi-
automatic, 15 bps ramping, and 15 bps full-automatic.
Unless specifically allowed, select fire functionality should not be used in tournaments. It is strongly advised
to consult both tournament rules and local field regulations before use. Tadao Technologies LLC takes no
responsibility for the user’s choice in using select fire functionality.
USB
Your Yakuza Series USB board has full USB 2.0 functionality, and works in tandem with the Tengu USB interface,
which can be downloaded online at
http://www.tadaotechnologies.com/productcart/pc/viewContent.asp?idpage=15.
Tengu allows you to update the firmware on your board, create and save custom boot screens, modify all the
settings, and more. To run the Tengu interface you need a mini-B USB cable and a PC running Windows 7, Vista,
or XP. XP users will also need to download the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 or newer. Refer to the Tengu user
guide for information regarding USB installation and using the Tengu USB interface.
OLED DIAGRAMS
The OLED display built into the Yakuza series board shows the user a multitude of information via text and icons.
The software is written with performance in mind, and will not update the screen until the user stops shooting for
just a fraction of a second. This ensures that the screen does not interfere with the timings of the marker.
The battery indicator shows battery life by displaying a bar within the icon. The longer the bar, the higher the
battery level. A low battery is reached at approximately 7.5 volts, but if quality alkaline batteries are used, the
remaining power should be adequate for at least one more case of paint.
The eye indicator is displayed as a circular icon, which shows when the eyes are blocked or malfunctioning. If the
eye system is off, the indicator displays “off.” If the eye system has a malfunction from not seeing the bolt return, it
will show an X.

MENU SYSTEM
The Yakuza menu system allows the user to quickly and easily change a multitude of settings. The text based menu
is much faster and easier to understand than LED based programming modes.
To boot into the menu system the user must hold down the trigger while turning the board on. After the menu boot
message, the displayed setting will be the last one that was modified. If this is the first time the board has been
booted into the menu system, it will show the fire mode.
Scrolling through the settings is done by using the top and bottom buttons. The menu will wrap around to the
beginning when the last setting is reached.
