BATTERY LIFE INDICATOR
The MINI also has a Battery Life Indicator, the LED located on the back of
the fore-grip. If in standard operation and the LED flashes with a GREEN
color, then the battery is Good. If the LED flashes YELLOW/AMBER, then
the battery is fairly depleted and should be replaced soon. If the LED flashes
RED, the there is less than 20% of the full battery strength remaining and
should be replaced immediately. Battery Level is indicated by the color of the
LED (see table below for explanation)
NOTE: During rapid firing, the battery can be depleted quickly and the LED may change color
and give an incorrect reading. Allow time for the battery to recover before determining if the
battery life is good or truly depleted.

powered up, it will shut itself off after approximately 60 minutes of inactivity.
This time cannot be adjusted.
EYE FUNCTION
The MINI board is pre-programmed to activate the eye system each time the marker
is powered up. See Section 7 (Break beam Eyes Operation) for more details.
INSTALLING A LOADER AND PAINTBALLS
The MINI comes equipped to accept 1.03" (outer dimension) standard-gravity
feed loaders as well as most agitating and force-feed loaders. Fit the loader
directly into the feedneck. It might be necessary to adjust the clamp to your
loader using the 3/32" Allen wrench. Always twist the loader in a Clockwise
direction to prevent feedneck thread damage.
The MINI uses .68 caliber, water-soluble paintballs, readily available at
paintball pro-shops, commercial playing fields, and many sporting goods
stores. The paintballs are fed from the loader through the direct vertical feed
port and into the breech of the marker.

Keep your finger out of the trigger guard and away from the trigger, point
the muzzle 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 marker is off.
