Q: How do I get into Programming mode?
A: Step 1: (Preparation) Place a barrel condom over the end of your barrel and remove your air tank and hopper from your marker and make sure that there is no pressure in your gun, or paintballs loaded in the breech. Also make sure your Tournament lock is disabled, please refer to your boards instructions to find out how to do this.
Step 2: (Entering Programming Mode) Pull your trigger, and continue to hold it down while pressing the power button. The board should light up, and power on, when this happens release both the power switch and the trigger switch. The board will then change color again and stay at that color; you are now in programming mode.
Step 3: (Selecting a Register) Now that you are in programming mode you will want to pick which register you would like to adjust. Registers are accessible by pulling the trigger a certain a number of times, for example, if you would like to adjust your rate of fire, which is set by register two, you would pull the trigger two times once you have entered programming mode. Once you enter a register, the board will blink red the same number of times that it is already programmed to, so for example if your rate of fire is set to 10bps, the board will blink 10 times when you first enter the rate of fire register.
Step 4: (Setting a Register) Now that you have selected your register, you may either wait for the board to display what the register is already set to by blinking, or you may begin to give the register its new setting. To enter your own setting, pull the trigger the same number of times you would like the board to be set to. For example if you would like to set your firing mode to fully automatic which is adjusted by the firing mode register, register 1, and it is setting 3 in the firing mode register you would first enter programming mode (see step 2) then pull the trigger 1 time, to enter the firing mode register, and then pull the trigger 3 times to set it to fully automatic. Once you have entered your new setting the board will flash two times confirming that the entry you put in was accepted.
**NOTE** When programming if you are adjusting the firing mode register, once you have programmed in your new setting the board will exit Programming Mode and enter Ready to Fire Mode where your gun will be active, and each trigger pull will attempt to fire the gun. We suggest the firing mode should be the last setting you adjust as it will exit programming mode after its programming. This is why it is very important to make sure your gun is de-gassed and unloaded while programming.
Step 5: (Continuing to Program or exit programming mode) Once you have programmed the register of your choosing, as long as it was not register one like discussed above you can select another register the same way as outlined in Step 3. At any time if you would like to end your programming just hold down the power button and your gun will turn off, then you can restart and begin playing.
Q: Set my board for Tournaments, PSP 10bps etc?
A: To set your Predator board to be compatible with the new standard rates of fire in tournament series all you need to do is go into programming register number 2, and set it to the corresponding rate of fire that you require. For example if you are playing in PSP and you need to cap your gun at 10 bps, set register 2 to 10bps and you will be fully tournament legal. For instructions on programming please refer to the above tab on how to get into programming mode on your board.
