Low battery indicator software for DM4/5 LBI Boards. Forced Shot allows the marker to be fired when the eyes are enabled, but no object is in the breech. Instant On allows the marker to be fired instantly upon turn on. Tournament Lock/Unlock allows the marker to be programmed through the trigger without having to constantly open the grip. With the tournament lock enabled, settings cannot be changed without opening up the grip.
Installing Your Virtue Chip: 1. 2.
Open up the grip from the right side of the marker to expose the board. Remove your existing chip by gently teetering the chip out. You can accomplish this by using a small Allen key or screwdriver to pry underneath one side of the chip, then underneath the other side, until the chip is ready to be pulled out. Install the Virtue Chip by aligning the semi-circle depression on the chip with the semi-circle cutout on the socket. You may need to bend the prongs of the chip in slightly. Please do so gently.
Setting the Dipswitches: On the DM4/5 circuit boards, above the socket where you install the chip, there is a 4 position dipswitch. Dipswitch 1 is the Max Rate of Fire/15bps Cap lock. If Dipswitch 1 is in the up or on position, your max rate of fire is set to your “Max Rate of Fire” setting (Flickering Red LED in programming mode.) If dipswitch 1 is in the down or off position, the Max Rate of Fire of all modes is capped at 15bps. After changing this setting, you must turn the marker off before it takes effect. *Please note the actual bps will vary slightly from gun to gun. If the desired bps is too high or too low with dipswitch 1 down, then leave Dipswitch 1 in the up position, and adjust the max rate of fire setting through the programming menu. Dipswitch 4 is the Tournament Lock. To access the programming mode of the Virtue DM4/5 Chip, Dipswitch 4 must be in the up or on position. Then hold down the trigger and turn the marker on to enter programming mode. When Dipswitch 4 is in the down or off position, the gun is in “Tournament Lock”, and program settings cannot be changed. Dipswitches 2 and 3 are not used. Leave them in the up or on position.

Power Operation:
To Change the Value of a Setting:
The Virtue DM4/5 Chip uses Instant On technology. Simply tap the power button, and the marker instantly turns on and is ready to fire. To turn the marker off at any time, press the power button for 1 second.
When the LED is lit for the desired setting, pull and hold the trigger until the LED Begins to flash. The LED will flash the number of times the current value is set to. When the LED stops flashing you then have 2 seconds to enter in the new value by tapping the trigger the amount of times you want the new value to be set to. After you have set the new value, the LED will flash back at you the number of times you have just entered, and then flash through the rainbow of colors, returning to the color you have just adjusted, indicating that the new value has been set. To exit programming mode, shut the marker off.
Eye Operation: When the marker is turned on the eye system is automatically enabled. The eyes can be toggled on and off by pressing the eye button for 1 second. When the eyes are disabled the max rate of fire will not go over 24bps. The eye logic differentiates between a ball being fired, and something continually blocking the eye (like your finger). If the eye becomes blocked, the LED will flash blue, indicating an eye malfunction. When the object blocking the eyes is removed the eye will automatically return to working mode (solid red or blue LED).
Low Battery Indicator (DM4/5 LBI Boards): This section only applies to users with DM4/5 LBI boards. To determine which board you have, please visit the tech support section of www.VirtuePaintball.com. If your battery is low, the LED will flash Green in 3-second intervals.
Programming Example: If you want to change the debounce to 2 you would: 1.
Programming Mode: To access the programming mode of the Virtue DM4/5 Chip, Dipswitch 4 must be in the up or on position. When Dipswitch 4 is in the down position, the gun is in “Tournament Lock”, and program settings cannot be changed. With Dipswitch 4 in the up or on position, hold the trigger and turn the marker on. The LED will then cycle through a rainbow of colors and stop on purple, indicating that you are now in programming mode. Tapping the trigger will then toggle through the different programming modes: Purple: Green: Blue: White: Red: Teal: Yellow: Flickering Green Flickering Red:
