Air Supply - The DM5 should be operated using air/nitrogen gas only. This air needs to be supplied to the Hyper2 in-line
regulator at a regulated pressure of no more than 800 psi. The Hyper2 in-line regulator comes factory preset at 175psi.
Turning On Your DM5 - The DM5’s power is controlled by a simple two button membrane pad. The top button turns the
marker on and off, while the bottom button turns the eye on and off. Hold the power button for 3 seconds to turn the
marker on. The LED in the grip will illuminate during the boot sequence.
NOTE: If the eye is not working properly, try replacing the battery.
Blue - Boot Sequence
Red - Breech is clear, no ball (eye on)
Green - Ball in breech, ready to fire (eye on)
Blinking Red - Eye is off
Blinking Green - Eye failure (see DM5 Board, page 13)
Blinking Blue - Indicates a low battery,
battery should be changed as soon as possible
On/Off -
The On/Off knob is located under the barrel at the front of the DM5. To turn the gas
on, turn the knob counter-clockwise. To turn the gas off, turn the knob clockwise. All gas will
vent from the DM5 when the knob is turned off. Air may still be present in the LPR and solenoid
after the air has been vented from the marker by the on/off. Be sure all air has been vented by
discharging the marker in a safe direction. If servicing the marker, removal of the bolt will also allow
any trapped air to escape.
LPR - The LPR is pre-set from the factory at approximately 75-80 psi and should need no adjustment
out of the box. If fine tuning adjustment is desired or needed, you must be sure that you are adjusting
the LPR correctly. See page 10 for detailed instructions. If the LPR is improperly adjusted, you could
dramatically hinder the DM5’s performance or prevent the marker from functioning at all.
NOTE: Turning the adjustment screw clockwise, or in, will lower the LPR’s output pressure. Turning the
adjustment screw counterclockwise, or out, will raise the LPR’s output pressure.
Hopper -
To get the best performance out of your DM5, it is recommended that you use a motorized loader. Preferably
one that force feeds the paint really, really fast!
Feed Neck - To secure your loader into the adjustable feed neck use a 5/32 Allen wrench.
Be careful not to over-tighten the collar as it can cause the neck to break.
Adjusting Velocity - The velocity is adjusted through the Hyper2in-line regulator. The Hyper2in-line is preset from the
factory at approximately 170 psi. This pressure setting should have the marker shooting at about 285fps. Your paint-tobarrel fit will also have a noticeable affect on your velocity. Make sure that the paintball fits into the barrel loosely but does
not drop through.
NOTE: For the Hyper2, turning the adjustment screw clockwise, or in, will lower the output pressure, decreasing the velocity.
Turning the adjustment screw counterclockwise, or out, will raise the output pressure, increasing the velocity.
NOTE: If the battery is too low, it may not be able to power the solenoid correctly. This will affect your DM5’s velocity, causing it
to become inconsistent and/or low.

QUICK REFERENCE - Using your marker
WARNING
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND GUIDELINES
• The DM5 marker is not a toy. Misuse may cause serious injury or death.
• Please read, understand and follow the directions in the DM5 owner’s manual.
• Eye protection that is designed specifically for paintball and meets ASTM/CE standards must be worn by user
and persons within range.
• Recommend 18 years or older to purchase. Person under 18 must have adult supervision.
• Always treat the DM5 marker as if it were loaded and able to fire.
• Only use compressed air or nitrogen gas in the DM5 marker. DO NOT USE CO

.
• Do not exceed 800 psi input pressure.
• Ensure all air lines and fittings are tightened and secured before gassing up the DM5.
• Always chronograph the DM5 marker before playing paintball.
• Never shoot the DM5 marker at velocities in excess of 300 feet per second,
or at velocities greater than local or national laws allow.
• Never look into the barrel or breech area of the DM5 when the marker is switched on and able to fire.
• Always fit a barrel blocking device to your DM5 when not in use on the field of play.
• The owner’s manual should always accompany the product for reference or in the event of
resale and new ownership.
• Do not point the DM5 marker at anything that you do not intend to shoot.
• Do not shoot at people, animals, houses, cars or anything not related to the sport of paintball.
• Do not fire the DM5 without the Fuse bolt screwed in completely.
• If you read these instructions and do not fully understand them or are unsure of your ability to make
necessary adjustments properly, call DYE or your local pro shop for help.
DM5 BOARD - Settings and Functions
When servicing your marker:
• Make sure a barrel sock is fitted
to the DM5.
• Make sure your hopper is removed
from the DM5.
• Make sure there are no paintballs in the
breech of the DM5.
• Always remove the first stage regulator and
relieve all residual gas pressure from the
DM5 before disassembly.
• The DM5 can hold a small residual charge
of gas, typically 2 shots, with the first stage
regulator removed. Always discharge the
marker in a safe direction to relieve this
residual gas pressure.
WARNING
TURNING THE DM5 ON AND OFF
To turn on the DM5, press and hold the power button (see figure 1) until the LED light turns blue. The blue light indicates
board bootup. After the bootup sequence, the LED will turn either RED (no ball) or GREEN (ball ready to fire). To turn the DM5
off, press and hold the power button until the LED turns off.
NOTE: The DM5 automatically switches off after 10 minutes of non-use.
FIRING THE DM5
As soon as the marker is turned on and the LED turns from blue to either red or green, the DM5 is ready to fire. If there is no
ball and the LED is RED, you need to hold the trigger for 1 second to force the DM5 to fire once. If there is a paintball inside
the breech and the LED is green, just press the trigger to fire the marker.
LED LIGHT INDICATOR
There is a super-high intensity LED light mounted on the board behind the DM5 logo on the left side of the grip panels. This
light provides information to the user by the DM5. There are three colors on the LED light: red, green and blue.
When you turn on the marker in normal operation mode with the power button, the light colors mean the following:
Blue - Boot Sequence
Red - Breech is clear, no ball (eye on)
Green - Ball in breech, ready to fire (eye on)
Blinking Red - Eye is off
Blinking Green - Eye failure (see DM5 Board, page 13)
Blinking Blue - Indicates a low battery,
battery should be changed as soon as possible
NOTE: The eye is always activated when you turn the marker on.

WARNING:
An intermittent blinking blue
light indicates a low battery. A
low battery may cause
malfunctions to the marker. In
this case, the battery should be
changed as soon as possible.
