VERY IMPORTANT REGARDING CONTROLLER TYPE FOR MOD INSTALL - PLEASE READ

The RaptorFire mod chip is only compatible with CG1 and CG2 type controller boards. It is NOT compatible with Matrix type boards. In order to verify if your controller is CG1/CG2/Matrix, remove the battery pack and look at the left-most section of board that is visible thru the controller shell. If your controller is CG1 or CG2 you will see a capacitor that looks like one of these:
 
If one of these capacitors is present then your controller is compatible with the RaptorFire mod chip. If neither of these capacitors is visible on the left side of the board under the battery pack then your controller is a Matrix board and is therefore NOT compatible with the RaptorFire mod chip. Please verify this prior to placing your order. THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.

 

IN ORDER TO CORRECTLY PROGRAM YOUR CONTROLLER WITH THE OPTIONS YOU WANT, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING:

1. 1. Once your controller is back together you will put your batteries in and turn on your controller.
2. 2. You will see Red light on position 2, Red light in position 3 and Green Light in position 4.
3. 3. The light in position 2 will let you know what option you are adding or not adding.
4. 4. The lights in position 3 ( Red ) and position 4 ( Green ) tell you Green (YES) or Red (No)
5. 5. You will press either your Red (B) or Green (A) to say yes or no. (do you want this option)

The options are as follows:

• Red= Drop Shot
• Yellow= Jitter
• White= Active Reload
• Blue= Fast Reload
• Purple= Sniper Hold Breath
• Green= Burst

When you are programing if you get to the Green and think you might have made a mistake you need to stop and take your battery out and start your programming all over. If you go through all 6 options and answer them you will lock the controller permanently. If you think you might have made a mistake and you have not gone through all 6 options then you can just remove the batteries and it will allow you to start over.

THE MENU SYSTEM

The menu system is setup in 3 Classes. (Once you finished the programming, Press down on the Dpad and hold to enter Class 1, and browse by holding down on the Dpad.)

• Class 1 is marked by a Blue Led in Player 4 Slot
• Class 2 is marked by a Purple Led in Player 4 Slot
• Class 3 is marked by a Green Led in the Player 4 Slot

Make sure you browse through the classes by holding down on the Dpad until you complete the cycle from Blue, Purple, and Green. The 4th Dpad Down, will shut off the Chip. If you hold it down again, it will activate the chip with the Class 1 again lighting up Blue in player 4 Slot.

ASSIGNING MODS TO EACH CLASS (VERY IMPORTANT)

Each Class has 2 Available Empty Slots for a total of 6 slots, since there are 2 in each Class.

Activating Slots: When you hold DOWN on the D-Pad, and you enter the 1st Class, Hold UP on the Dpad until your player 3 LED lights up Blue (Default RapidFire). This activates SLOT 1. We have a color chart that shows all the modes and sub-modes that can be assigned to each slot. To Assign an Exclusive Mod to SLOT 1, hold LEFT on the D-pad and hold the corresponding button on the chart for the exclusive add-on you would like to select. The player 3 LED will switch to the color of the exclusive add-on that you have selected. To switch to SLOT 2, hold UP on the D-pad until the player 3 LED blinks, indicating you are now in SLOT 2. To turn off the SLOTS, hold up on the D-pad until the player 3 LED turns off. Repeat these steps to cycle between SLOT 1, SLOT 2, and OFF.

Slot 1: With SLOT 1 selected, if you wanted Drop Shot, hold LEFT DPAD and CIRCLE, and your Player 3 Led will light up RED. It will blink a number of times representing the MODE that you are selecting. For example, if you want to select MODE 2 of drop shot, hold the left D-pad and the CIRCLE button until the player 3 light blinks 2 times. Let go immediately. If it blinks 3 times, you will be in MODE 3. A white light will blink after you let go confirming the MODE has been selected. There are multiple Drop Shot Sub-Modes as well as multiple modes for the other exclusive mods (i.e. Akimbo, jitter, burst, etc). If you wanted to choose a different exclusive add-on from the Chart, just repeat the function by Holding Down LEFT DPAD and the exclusive add-on’s corresponding button (see chart) and your player 3 Led will change to the color that corresponds to the option on the Chart you would like to select.

Slot 2: To Enter Slot 2 of any class, hold UP on the DPAD, and your player 3 LED will flash again, indicating its ready for programming (see previous step). Remember, all the Slots are blue by default for Rapid fire.

Adjusting Rapid Fire Speed and Burst Modes

Example: (When you are in Class 1, Slot 1 and player 3 led is Blue) Hold down the Left Dpad, until Player 3 & 4 Led will flash Red continuously. You will use L1 to decrease shots per second and R1 to increase speed setting (in increments of 1). When you press the L1 buttons to decrease, player 4 LED will flash once. After, player 4 LED will flash a number of times indicating the tens value and the player 3 LED will flash a number of times indicating the ones value. For example, when Player 4 flashes 1 time, this will represent ten and Player 3 flashes 3 times will represent 3 for speed setting 13. You will need to count the amount of times each player led flashes to know what speed setting you are on. Once you decide and have selected which speed setting you want, HOLD DOWN LEFT DPAD, and it will save the Speed setting forever. The same process applies to adjusting the number of rounds per burst when using burst mode.

Suggested MW3 Speeds 11-13 Shots per second (speed setting 11-13).

NOTE: The classes and slots were designed to be programmed and used in live game play by the use of the D-Pad to browse through the modes. This makes it convenient to change your setting while playing the game.
