Note: Some rechargeable batteries are too large for the MINI GS
battery compartment. If they don’t fit, please don’t force them as
this may damage the board.
SWITCHING OFF YOUR MINI GS
Push and hold the button on the front Foregrip. After the button is held for 2 seconds, the LED will
turn to a solid RED color. Release button and the MINI GS will switch Off.
AUTOMATIC OFF FEATURE
The MINI GS also has an “Automatic OFF” feature. If you leave your MINI GS powered up, it will
shut itself off after approximately 60 minutes of inactivity. This time cannot be adjusted.
EYE FUNCTION
The MINI GS board is pre-programmed to activate the eye system each time the marker is pow-
ered up. See Section 5 (Break Beam Eyes Operation) for more details.
4. FIRING THE MINI GS
Keep your finger out of the Trigger Guard and away from the Trigger, point the barrel of your
marker in a safe direction at all times during this process. Be sure your goggles are securely in
place and make sure the MINI GS marker is OFF.
WARNING- Everyone within firing range should always use paintball approved eye and face protec-
tion in the presence of live paintball markers.
- Place the empty loader onto the marker.
- Be sure that it is securely mounted in place.
- Apply the compressed gas, pressurizing the marker.
- Put the paintballs into the loader.
- Remove the barrel plug, sock or barrel-blocking device.
- Aim the MINI GS in a safe direction.
- Turn the MINI GS ON: Push the button for 2 seconds until the LED light changes to solid
GREEN, then release button and LED should display a flashing LED according to Eye Status
- Aim the MINI GS at the target.
- Pull the Trigger with a smooth squeezing motion.
5. BREAK BEAM EYES OPERATION
The MINI GS uses a break beam eye system to determine the absence or presence of a paintball
in the breech for the purposes of reduced paint breakage and optimum rates of fire. When the
break beam system is activated the marker will not fire unless the break beam system detects a
paintball. The MINI GS board is pre-programmed to activate the eye system each time the marker
is powered up.
To turn the eyes OFF, ensure that there are no paintballs in the MINI GS breech or feed-neck,
make sure the marker is switched On, and then tap the button once. A fast, flashing LED will
indicate that the eye system has been deactivated.
To turn the eyes back ON, tap the button one time.
A slow consistent single blinking Green LED indicates that the eyes are ON with no ball in the
breech and a double blink LED indicates that there is a ball in the breech.
If the Break Beam Eye System malfunctions, the marker assumes there was a ball broken and
the Rate of Fire (ROF) is limited to 8.0 balls-per-second (bps) to prevent further ball breaks.
The LED indicator will flash slowly. Turn the Break Beam Eye System OFF to allow firing at Max
ROF cap setting. Break Beam Sensor Status is indicated by blinking frequency of the LED (See
table below for explanation). Color would be determined by battery level, as listed in the chart in
Section 3.
- Blink Frequency..................................Break Beam (BB) Eye Status
- Single Blink......................................... BB Sensor System active, no ball in breech
- Double Blink....................................... BB Sensor System active, ball in breech
- Flashing...............................................BB Sensor System has malfunctioned
- Fast Flashing.......................................BB Sensor System Deactivated
For optimal performance of the MINI GS eyes, keep the inside of the MINI GS breech clean and
clear of broken paint, paint residue, or other debris. Although the eyes can be cleaned via clean-
ing the breech of the MINI GS marker, if the eye board needs to be accessed, please follow the
steps outlined in the Main Body Assembly section of this manual.
TRIGGER PULL INDICATION
If the Trigger is being pressed, the LED will display a dim Red LED which can be seen between
blinks of the Eye Setting LED.
