If you have tried several different batteries, check to make sure the
battery harness is plugged in to the board properly. If it is, unplug the
battery from the harness, press and hold the power button for 15sec
then release. Plug the battery back in and try again.
The circuit board is protected with a moisture resistant coating but
occasionally prolonged exposure to moisture can cause a malfunc-
tion. If the marker was used in wet conditions unplug the battery
and remove both circuit board from marker to allow them to dry for at
least 24 hours then try turning it on again.
Check screen on rear of foregrip. OLED screen should be on when
marker is turned on.
The anti-chop eye system prevents the marker from firing unless a
ball is present. When the eyes detect a ball the eye symbol on the
screen will have a filled circle in the middle. Never put anything
other than a paintball down the feedneck of the AXE. Check that the
bolt is fully returning and if not service you may need to change bolt
tip, small bolt guide O-rings and/or the bolt O-rings. Check that there
is a proper connection between the sensor board and main board.
Check for damage to the main board pins near the tip of the foregrip.
The trigger indication arrow takes place of the tournament lock
symbol when the trigger is activated. If the trigger is being pressed
the arrow will point down, and point up if the trigger is released. If
it is not that way, then the trigger may need to be adjusted. See the
"Trigger Adjustments" section earlier in the manual. Check that there
is a proper connection between the sensor board and main board.
Check for damage to the main board pins near the tip of the foregrip.
