• HAVE THE SELECTOR SWITCH IN SAFE MODE
  EYE PROTECTION DESIGNED FOR PAINTBALL USE MUST BE WORN BY THE USER AND ANY PERSON WITHIN RANGE.

1. Battery Installation
   NOTE: This marker can be fired in the mechanical (F) mode without a battery.
   To install the battery:

1. Remove the battery door from the back of the grip by pulling up and back on the tab as shown in Figure 2.
   NOTE: Whenever removing the battery clip from the battery, never pull it by the wires.
   Figure 2: Open Battery Door
   
2. Install a 9 volt battery onto the battery clip.
3. Insert the battery into the grip with the battery clip at the top, and wires routed as shown in Figure 3.
   Figure 3: Install 9 Volt Battery
   
4. Replace the battery door with the tab down, press the door and listen for the click as it locks back into the grip.

1. Make sure that the Cyclone Feed System housing is clean and free of debris. Make sure the Cyclone arms turn freely when the Manual Advance Lever is pushed (see Figure 4).
   Figure 4: Manual Advance Lever for the Cyclone Feed System
   
2. Make sure that the Hopper is clean and free of sharp edges or debris. This keeps the paintballs from breaking prematurely, and allows the marker to feed paintballs to the marker's chamber smoothly.
3. Install the Hopper neck into the Cyclone housing, aligning the hopper neck tab to fit into the cutout in the Cyclone housing. Turn counterclockwise to secure.
4. With the barrel sleeve installed, and the Selector Switch in Safe mode, you are now ready to load your hopper with.68 caliber paintballs. Do not force excessive numbers of paintballs into the hopper.
5. Push the Manual Advance Lever once Figure 4: Manual Advance Lever for the to chamber a paintball. Only remove the Cyclone Feed System barrel sleeve and change the Selector
   Switch to a Fire Mode when you are ready to fire the marker.

4. Fire the Marker
   Remove the Barrel Sleeve from the marker. Move the Selector Switch from Safe mode to a desired firing position (F or FA). Point the marker in a safe direction. Pull the trigger to fire the marker.
   Figure 5: Selector Switch Operation (shown in Safe Mode)
   

Selector Switch Operation
Safe Mode (S): The Selector Switch is shown in Figure (shown in Safe Mode)
5 in Safe mode. Safe mode locks the Trigger and disables the Electronics, making the marker inoperable.
Semi-Auto Mode (F): In this position, the electronics are disabled (off). The marker fires in mechanical mode (fires one shot for each pull of the trigger).
Full Auto Mode (FA): In this position, the electronics are on and the marker fires in one of five preset Firing modes. See Changing the Firing Mode .
FA Firing Modes:

1. Safe Three-round Burst - Pulling the trigger three times in less than one second results in a 3-shot burst at a rate of 13 balls per second (bps) on the third trigger pull. Each pull of the trigger in less than one second after this results in another 3-shot burst (up to 3 bursts per second).
2. Safe Full-Auto (factory default) - Pulling the trigger three times in less than one second results in full-automatic firing. Holding the trigger down on the third pull sustains this full-auto mode. The default rate of fire for this mode is 13 bps.
3. Auto-Response - The marker fires on the pull and on the release of the trigger. This mode effectively doubles your manual firing rate.
4. Turbo Mode - Pulling the trigger three times in less than one second results in fullautomatic firing at a rate of 15 bps. To sustain this rate of fire, the trigger must be pulled at least once per second.
5. Semi-Auto - A semi-automatic Firing mode is available for fields or tournaments which restrict the use of automatic firing modes. This mode is the same as selecting the F firing mode with the Selector Switch (One pull/release of the trigger fires one time).

Low Battery Indicator
When the battery begins to lose power, the LED (see Figure 6) stops flashing green, and changes to flashing red. While performance may vary while the LED is flashing red, the electronics will still function under this condition until the battery has lost power to the point that it will not cycle the firing system. When this happens you can move the Selector Switch to F mode and fire the marker in mechanical mode (one shot per pull of the trigger). NOTE: The Electronics will not automatically shut off. Be sure to put the Selector Switch in Safe mode when not in use to preserve battery life.

Changing the Firing Mode
Put the Selector Switch in FA mode. Press and hold the Programming button for ½ second to advance to the next firing mode. The button is below flush and must be pushed with a pin or your ⅛" allen wrench as shown in Figure 6. The LED flashes orange to represent the number of the Firing mode as listed. The Factory Default Value is 2 flashes (Safe Full-Auto).
Figure 6: Programming Button and LED Window

Advanced Programming
There are several programming options which affect the operation of your Tippmann X7 Phenom marker. The Advanced Programming has been designed to allow users the maximum amount of customizing possible. There are four menu items available in the Advanced Programming Menu: Dwell, Debounce, Rate-of-fire, and Firing mode. Each menu item has a corresponding color code as follows:

• Solid Red - Dwell
• Solid Green - Debounce
• Flashing Green - Rate of fire
• Alternating Red/Solid Green - Firing mode

Programming Menus
This section discusses the four menu items in detail, so that the user fully understands the purpose and use of each menu item.
Dwell - (Factory Default Value = 8 milliseconds) The Dwell menu item is used to change the amount of time that power is supplied to the solenoid. The solenoid is the part of the electronics which actually contacts the Trigger Lever of the marker, allowing it to fire. This setting directly affects the battery life. If this is changed to a value less than 8 milliseconds, your battery will last longer, but this may not allow the solenoid enough time to fire the marker properly. If this value is set greater than 8 milliseconds, the solenoid will have power supplied to it for a longer time, reducing the life of the battery. Changing this value can cure or create performance issues for the user. This menu item can only be updated with values of 2-20 milliseconds.
Debounce - (Factory Default Value = 52 milliseconds) The Debounce menu item is used to change the amount of time between accepted trigger pulls. Quite simply, this adjusts the amount of time from one trigger pull being accepted by the electronics to the next trigger pull that can be accepted. If a Debounce setting is too low, a user may shoot more times than expected. This is explained by what is called "Trigger Bounce." When a paintball marker is fired, the marker moves and vibrates in the user's hand. This vibration sometimes allows the trigger to reset itself and trip without the user realizing that their finger has actually moved.
This menu item can only be updated with values of 25-65 milliseconds.
Rate-of-Fire - (Factory Default Value = 13 bps) The Rate-of-Fire menu item may be used to change the Safe Full-auto Firing mode. This is the only Firing Mode which is affected by this menu item. All other Firing modes cannot have their rate of fire adjusted. This menu item can only be changed with values of 8-15 bps.
Firing Mode - (Factory Default Value = 2 Safe Full-auto) The Firing Mode menu item is used to change the default Firing Mode. The value and corresponding Firing Mode are listed below.

1. Safe Three-shot Burst
2. Safe Full-auto (factory default)
3. Auto-Response
4. Turbo Mode
5. Semi-automatic

The Firing Mode menu item can only be changed to a value of 1 through 5.

Programming Navigation
Entering Programming - Unload the marker and remove the air supply. Never attempt to do Advanced Programming on a pressurized marker!
Put the Selector Switch in Safe mode. Press and hold the Programming Button and move the Selector Switch to the FA mode. After 2 seconds, the LED turns solid red. Release the Programming Button. You are now in the main programming menu. Cycle through the menu items using trigger pulls.
Cycling through the menu - To cycle through the menu items, pull and release the trigger. Each time the trigger is pulled and released, a different color code is displayed by the LED as listed in Advanced Programming.
Enter a menu option - Once the LED displays the color code of the desired menu item, pull and hold the trigger for two seconds.
Current Value - Upon entering a menu item, the LED begins flashing red. The flashes represent the current menu value. The current value is flashed twice with a short pause between the value flashes. If a new value is not entered before the end of the second value flash display, the electronics automatically return to the main menu.
Enter a new value - Any time while the LED is flashing with its current value, a new value can be entered by pulling and releasing the trigger. Each pull and release of the trigger counts as 1 when entering the new value. For example, to enter a number 5, pull and release the trigger five times.
Successfully updated menu confirmation - Once you enter a new value for a menu item, the LED flashes red/orange/green twice to signify an acceptable value has been entered. The electronics then returns to the main menu. If an unacceptable value is entered, the LED quickly flashes red, and returns to the main menu. The value of the menu item remains unchanged if this happens.
Power Off - After a menu item has been changed, you must power-off the electronics before the change takes effect. Move the Selector Switch to the Safe mode (S) or
Mechanical mode (F), and the electronics power down. Move the Selector Switch back to the FA position to power up the electronics and use the new settings.
Optional Factory Settings Reset - You can reset programming back to the Factory Default Settings. Move the Selector Switch to the FA position. Press and hold the programming button for 10 seconds. Release the Programming Button, the LED flashes red/ orange/green twice. The electronics power down for 10 seconds and then power back up. All settings are reset to factory defaults at this point.

Velocity Adjustment

Each time you play paintball, check the velocity of your paintball marker with a chronograph (an instrument for measuring velocity) prior to playing paintball. Verify that the marker's velocity is set below 300 feet per second (or less if required by the playing field).
To adjust the marker's velocity, use the included ⅛" allen wrench in the holes of the velocity adjuster. The velocity adjuster is located on the right side of the Upper Receiver, as shown in Figure 7.
Figure 7: Velocity Adjuster Location

As shown in Figure 8, reduce the velocity by turning the velocity adjuster upward. To increase the velocity, turn the velocity adjuster downward.
Figure 8: Velocity Adjuster Detail

Unloading Your Marker

1. Eye protection designed for paintball use must be worn by the user and any person within range.
2. Empty all paintballs from the Hopper. Turn the Hopper clockwise and lift from the Cyclone Feed System. Remove all paintballs from the Cyclone Feed System.
3. Go to a designated firing area, remove the barrel sleeve, and move the Selector Switch to a firing mode.
4. Point your marker in a safe direction and fire several times to be sure there are no remaining paintballs lodged in the chamber or barrel.
5. Return the Selector Switch to the Safe mode.
6. Reinstall the Barrel Sleeve.
7. Read the following Air Supply Cylinder Warnings and Safety Tips before removing the air cylinder from your marker (removal instructions are.

Air Supply Cylinder Warnings

The brass or nickel plated cylinder valve (figure 9, #1) is intended to be permanently attached to the air or CO cylinder (2). An air or CO cylinder can fly off with enough force to cause serious 2 injury or death if the cylinder (2) unscrews from a cylinder valve (1). 2

Refer to Figure 9. There have been reported incidents caused by players unknowingly unscrewing the cylinder (2) from the cylinder valve (1). This occurs when the player thinks the entire valve-cylinder assembly is being unscrewed from the air supply adaptor of the paintball marker, when in fact they are unscrewing the cylinder from the cylinder valve.
Figure 9: Properly marked Valve and Cylinder

To avoid this danger, it is recommended (if your cylinder is not already marked) that you use paint or nail polish to place a mark (3) on the cylinder valve, and place another mark (4) on the cylinder, in line with the #3 mark as shown.
Whenever you turn the cylinder during removal, watch the marks on the cylinder and the cylinder valve to be sure that they rotate together. If at any time these marks start to separate as shown in Figure 10, the cylinder is starting to Figure 9: Properly marked unscrew from the cylinder valve and you must STOP and Valve and Cylinder take the entire unit to a "C5" certified airsmith for safe removal and/or repair.
NOTE: The cylinder valve should unscrew from the paintball marker in about 3 or 4 full turns. If you finish the 4^th full turn and the cylinder valve is not unscrewed from the paintball marker, STOP! Take the entire unit to a "C5" certified airsmith for safe removal and/or repair.
Locate a "C5" Certified Airsmith at www.paintball-pti.com/search.asp.
Whether you have a new or used refillable air or CO₂ cylinder, you are at risk if any of the following has occurred:
Figure 10: Misaligned Valve and Cylinder

• The valve unit was replaced or altered after purchase.
• An anti-siphon device was installed.
• The valve unit was removed from the cylinder for any reason.
• Any modification was done to the refillable air or CO₂ cylinder.

If any of these conditions has occurred, take your air or CO₂ cylinder to a "C5" Certified Airsmith for inspection or contact the cylinder manufacturer.

Air Supply Cylinder Safety Tips
SAFETY TIPS to ensure that your air or CO₂ cylinder is safe for play:

• Improper use, filling, storage, or disposal of air or CO₂ cylinder may result in property damage, serious personal injury or death.
• Make sure that any maintenance or modification to any air or CO₂ cylinder is done by a qualified professional, such as a "C5" certified airsmith.
• The use of anti-siphon devices is not recommended. However, if one is already installed on your air or CO₂ cylinder or is desired, it is critical that your cylinder be checked by, or the device installed by, a qualified professional.
• All air or CO₂ cylinders must be filled only by properly trained personnel.
• Cylinder valves must be installed only by properly trained personnel.
• Do not overfill a cylinder! Never exceed the air or CO₂ cylinder's capacity.
• Do not expose pressurized air or CO₂ cylinder to temperatures exceeding 130 degrees Fahrenheit (55 degrees Celsius).
• Do not use caustic cleaners or strippers on the air or CO₂ cylinder or cylinder valve and do not expose to corrosive materials.
• Do not modify the air or CO₂ cylinder in any way. Never try to disassemble the cylinder valve from the air or CO₂ cylinder.
• Any air or CO₂ cylinder that has been exposed to fire or heated to a temperature of 250 degrees Fahrenheit (121 degrees Celsius) or more must be destroyed by properly trained personnel.
• Use appropriate gas for your cylinder. Only use CO₂ in a CO₂ cylinder and only use compressed air in a compressed air cylinder.
• Keep all cylinders out of the reach of children.
• The Air or CO₂ cylinder should be inspected and hydrostatically retested at least every 5 years by a DOT licensed agency.
• Keep exposed skin away from escaping gas when installing or removing air supply, or if the marker or air supply is leaking. Compressed air and CO₂ gasses are very cold, and can cause frostbite under certain conditions.

NOTE: Locate a "C5" certified airsmith at www.paintball-pti.com/search.asp

Air Supply Cylinder Removal

1. ReadAir Supply Cylinder Warnings and Air Supply Cylinder Safety Tips before beginning the cylinder removal process.
2. Eye protection designed for paintball use must be worn by the user and any person within range.
3. Follow theUnloading Your Marker instructions.
4. Watch the marks on the cylinder and cylinder valve (as shown in Figure 9) as you turn the cylinder approximately ¾ turn counterclockwise. This allows the air supply pin valve to close so that no air will enter the marker.
5. Remove the Barrel Sleeve. Set the Selector Switch to a firing mode. Point the marker in a safe direction, and discharge the remaining gas in the marker by repeatedly pulling the trigger until the marker stops firing (this may take 4-5 shots). If your marker continues to fire, the cylinder's pin valve has not closed yet (the cylinder pin valve could be longer than usual. Because of the variances in cylinder pin valve parts, each cylinder varies slightly on exactly how far it has to be turned). Turn the cylinder counterclockwise a little further and repeat this step until the marker does not fire. Only then remove the air supply cylinder.
   NOTE: If during this step, you turned the air supply cylinder and it began to leak before you pulled the trigger, the cylinder O-ring should be checked for damage before any re-assembly (see Repairing Air Supply Cylinder Leaks below).
6. After the air supply cylinder is removed, again point and fire the marker in a safe direction to verify the marker is completely discharged of gas.
7. Move the Selector Switch to the Safe mode and install the Barrel Sleeve.

Repairing Air Supply Cylinder Leaks
The most common leak occurs from a bad air supply valve O-ring. To replace a valve O-ring you must first remove the bad O-ring and then install a new one. This O-ring is located on the tip of your air supply valve. The best valve O-rings are made of urethane. Urethane O-rings are not affected by high air supply pressures. These may be purchased from Tippmann^® or your local paintball dealer.
NOTE: If a new air supply valve O-ring does not resolve an air supply leak, do not attempt to repair the air supply cylinder. Contact Tippmann Sports, LLC, your local paintball dealer, or a "C5" Certified Airsmith.

Cleaning and Maintenance

• To reduce the chance of an accidental discharge, follow the Unloading Your Marker and Air Supply Cylinder Removal.
• Eye protection must be worn.
• Do not disassemble a marker while it is pressurized with air.
• Do not pressurize a partially assembled marker.
• Follow warnings listed on the air supply cylinder for handling and storage.
• Familiarize yourself with instructions listed on air supply cylinder.
• Contact the air supply cylinder manufacturer with any questions.
• Do not use any petroleum based cleaning solvents.
• Do not use any cleaning solvents that come in aerosol cans.
  NOTE: Petroleum based products and aerosol products can damage your markers' O-rings.

To clean your paintball marker exterior, use a damp towel to wipe off paint, oil, and debris.
To clean inside the barrel:

1. Remove the barrel by unscrewing it from the Upper Receiver.
2. Insert the tab end of the cable squeegee into barrel.
3. Pull the squeegee through the barrel to remove debris and paint.

To maintain your marker in good working condition, inspect, clean, and replace any damaged parts.
Every 8,000 to 10,000 shots, lubricate specific areas (marked with a G) as instructed in the Phenom Disassembly/Assembly section. Other than to clean and grease these specified areas, it is unnecessary to disassemble your Phenom marker for general maintenance.
The best valve O-rings are made of urethane. Urethane O-rings are not affected by high air supply pressures. These may be purchased from Tippmann^® or your local paintball dealer. Use Tippmann grease to lightly lubricate the O-rings, springs, and other areas indicated in Phenom Disassembly/Assembly instructions.
Use Tippmann grease to maintain your marker in good working condition. Inspect and lubricate the air supply valve O-ring with a few drops of grease when attaching the air supply cylinder.

Storage
Before storage, unload the marker and remove air supply. Then put the Selector Switch in Safe mode) and install the barrel sleeve.
Store your marker in a dry area.
When removing your marker out of storage, make sure the Selector Switch is in Safe mode and the Barrel Sleeve is installed.
