Gun Operation and Programming
The gun is fitted with an auto-safe feature that will put the gun into an inert condition if the safety The features of the gun and the associated programming of these items are described below.
NOTE
The gun is designed with a safety interlock that will not allow it to fire with the trigger pulled when switching the safety switch to safety-off to arm the gun. This safety feature also allows the user to enter the programming mode of the gun.
Auto-safe Feature
The gun is fitted with an auto-safe feature that will put the gun into an inert condition if the safety switch is left in the safety-off position for over 15 minutes after the last shot fired. The gun will beep and flash every 30-seconds to remind the user to switch the gun to the safe condition. This condition is simply reset by switching the safety switch to safe then to safety-off, ready for firing. If the gun is left in the auto-safe inert condition, the batteries will slowly discharge.
Double Shot Eliminator
On some occasions when the trigger is set to a very light pull, the trigger can be operated again inadvertently when releasing the trigger. Because the action requires no cocking, multiple "dry" discharges can result. To eliminate this effect the trigger has to be released for a quarter of a second before it will fire again.
