Even better, there arent too many game rules to memorize. Lets review them:
First, each player puts on a vest, chooses a gun, and sets both up according to the instructions below. You need a minimum of two people to play a game, and you can create up to four teams
(red, blue, green, yellow). Next, players or teams head off in opposite directions and establish a home base. Once the game begins, each player or team leaps into battle to eliminate opponents by shooting at and hitting their vests while moving quickly and hiding, protecting themselves from getting shot! When a player has no more lives left, he or she is out of the game and sent off the field. The last player or team with remaining lives wins! Of course, you and your opponents can decide to rev up the game with other rules just make sure you all agree. Thats all there is to it! Aside from picking teams, the only big choice to make and this decision makes every game unique is the play area. Look for a battleground with plenty of places to hide, to use as obstacles, and to strategize with a simple, open space can get boring. Theres also the accuracy factor: The Laser Tag set does not use real, harmful laser beams; it uses safe infrared technology. That means youll get pinpoint accuracy in larger open areas. In a tight space, infrared signals can reflect off the walls and ceiling, possibly hitting players who werent aimed at. Setting up your gear Whats included 4 Guns 4 Vests Charging station with power adapter Pairing your gun and vest 1 To sync together, your gun and vest need to be paired with each other before playing. You must pair and set up your gun and vest at the start of each game. Without this quick process, the gun will not shoot, and the vest will not register as being hit. 2 Make sure all guns and vests are fully charged. Check for power by looking at the battery indicator on the LCD screens. 3 Each player takes one vest and gun. Simply pick your favorite color of each the specific color wont actually affect game play in any way. (For example, you can pair up the red-colored gun with the blue-colored vest). 4 Turn on the vest first, and then the gun. 5 After the gun prompts you with Ready to Pair, aim it at your vest and shoot. You do not have to be wearing your vest. NOTE: To ensure your gun pairs with your vest and not someone elses, stand a bit away from the other players' gear while pairing. 6 Once paired, wait until your gun prompts Setup Mode. Now, your gun and vest will be in Setup Mode for 10 seconds, indicated by a constant beep. Selecting a team color 7 Its time to select a team color (remember, this has nothing to do with the actual gun or vest colors - for example, you can play on the red team with a blue-colored gun or vest). 8 At first, the light color on the vest is white. This is not a team color; it just indicates that a team color needs to be chosen. Select your desired team color by pressing the TEAM button on the vest to rotate between the team colors until you reach your desired color. Choosing number of lives 9 The default number of lives is 15, but you can choose from 1 up to 99 lives which makes for a super-long game!
10 Change the default lives count by pressing the + and - buttons on the back of the vest. 11 All players should setup the game with the same number of lives to ensure fair play. NOTE: Selecting a team color and number of lives can only be done while in Setup Mode. Finishing setup 12 Check that your team color selection is reflected on your gun's team light, and the lives count on your gun's LCD screen. If not, turn off the gun and vest, and restart the pairing process. 13 Wait until you hear the prompt Setup complete. Good luck. Now, your gun and vest are successfully set up and you are ready to play!
Putting on your Vest 14 Hang the top straps over your neck like a necklace, wrap the side straps around your waist and snap them together in the back. Make sure your vest is snug and centered on your chest. Adjust the side straps if necessary. Getting to know your gun How to play Before we review the guns functionality, here are the basic steps for using it:
To shoot, aim your gun at your opponents vest and pull the trigger. After depleting the ammo in a round, you reload by pressing the Reload button on the gun. You will also need to reload before the first time playing, or following a weapon mode change. Monitor the status of your lives and ammo by viewing the LCD screen on your gun. When a players vest is hit by an opponents fire, the vest will vibrate, blink the team lights, and reduce the appropriate number of lives from the LCD lives counter. Tracking lives and getting out Once all of a players lives are depleted, his or her gun will vibrate, and prompt Game Over. At that point, the player is out and can no longer participate in the current round of the game. The gun will no longer shoot until the next game. Powering off seconds. To turn off the gun or vest press and hold the power button for 3 When the gun is idle for 10 minutes, it will automatically shut off. The vest will automatically shut off after being idle for 15 minutes. Choosing your weapon You can choose between four weapon modes to play. Each weapon has its own specific ammo capacity before needing a reload, and damage capability measured in lives taken per hit. Choose a specific weapon by pressing one of the four weapon buttons on the gun, each indicated by a different weapon icon. The four weapon modes are as follows:
PRE-LOADED AMMO LIVES TAKEN PER SHOT Indicated below each weapon button WEAPON Pistol Automatic Laser Rocket Launcher 9 7 3 1 1 2*
3 4
* Unlike the other three weapons, where you release the trigger after each shot in order to shoot again, the automatic mode keeps shooting, up to seven times, as long as your finger holds down the trigger. Remember to reload after each weapon change. Additional gun features:
Mute again to unmute. Stealth Mode To mute the audio of the gun, press the mute button. Press For a tactical advantage, go into Stealth Mode! This will turn off all the lights and audio (except the flashlight, if its on) from your vest and gun for 30 seconds, making it difficult for your opponent to spot you. To enter Stealth Mode, pull the trigger and press the mute button at the same time. Stealth Mode lasts 30 seconds and then automatically returns to normal. Night flashlight Use the flashlight when playing in dimly lit areas for extra night vision. Press the flashlight button to turn it on or off. Keep in mind that the flashlight gives away your position and makes you an easy target!
Keep in mind Players should not cover or obstruct their vest with their clothing or their hands. This will block the receiver and is not fair play. The maximum distance the infrared signal can reach is 150 feet
(45.7 meters), but note that the further the distance, the harder it is to aim. Also, direct sunlight or other variables can reduce that range. Squad Hero BattleAction Laser Tag sets are compatible with each other so you can add more players to the game by purchasing additional sets. Charging your guns and vests Based on normal play, you can play eight games of approximately 30 minutes each on one full charge. To set up the charging station, plug one end of the power adapter into the back of the charging station and the other end into a power outlet. To charge a gun, insert it upside down into one of the four charging ports. Make sure to rest the gun on each slots neck. The LCD display of the gun should face the logo side of the charging station. When charging begins, it will be indicated by a short blink on the guns lights. To charge a vest, take one of the four cables of the charging station and plug it into the port on the side of the vest. The guns and vests will fully charge in 1-2 hours. You can charge all four guns and all four vests at the same time. Monitor the status of the charge by checking the battery indicator on the LCD screens of the gun and vest. Do not charge a gun or vest for more than 24 consecutive hours. For any issues with the product please email us at support@squadherogames.com Champion Games
