Hero Blast Manual

CONGRATULATIONS on the purchase of your new Hero Blast laser tag system. The Hero Blast is

the industry’s rst and most feature packed non-gun laser tag system. Players can strap the unit onto
their wrist, quickly set up a game, and begin playing laser tag anywhere. The non-gun design of the

Hero Blast allows it to be used anywhere. This means operators can now set up laser tag games in
public places, schools, and anywhere else where a laser tag “gun” cannot be used.

Safety

CAUTION

The developers at Hero Blast have taken great care designing a product that can

be used safely. We have developed our product around IR LED technology. Our IR

LED (light emitting diode) transmits invisible infrared light, just like your television

remote. These LEDs are basically a small light source that emits invisible infrared
light. Our units are designed to operate at safe levels and do not constitute any form

of health hazard. However, as with any light source, we recommend that the user take
precautions to avoid unnecessary exposure by never looking down the lenses at close
range or directly aiming the unit at someone’s eyes while ring the system.

CAUTION

Always pay attention to the game organizer and safety briengs when instructed. Be

aware of any signs or special hazards in area. Never play laser tag in an unsafe area

or undesignated area. Always make sure you have permission to play laser tag games

on public and private places.

CAUTION

Never modify your Hero Blast systems in any way at any time for any reason.

Repairing the product may only be done by a certied Hero Blast technician or with

their permission. Disassembly of the products might damage sensitive electronics and
internal components, result in injury, and immediately voids the factory warranty.

20cm or more should be maintained between the antenna of this device and persons during device operation.
To ensure compliance, operations at closer than this distance is not recommended. The antenna used for this
