If your MTW with Battery Grip is entering programming mode during gameplay, especially when used with the QUAKE MTW, it could be because of a loose connection due to different size specs of CR123 batteries. This behavior does occur with accessories on real firearms due to recoil.
As a solution, we recommend installing the Battery Grip Bracket to increase tension and hold the batteries securely in place.
If you need a Battery Grip Bracket, please contact the tech department through the Helpdesk.
Instructions
Install the springs into the bracket as shown.
Install the left-hand battery into the grip.
Take the bracket with spring and slide the bottom end in first.
Then take and push the top end in a little to provide a backing for the spring.
With a small screwdriver or hex key, push the top spring up to then push the top of the bracket into place.
Make sure the spring and the bracket are full set into place before installing the right-hand battery. This may require you to help guide the spring into place on the top end.
Finally, you can install the right-hand battery like normally.
The MTW-308 is shipped with a the standard MTW Spartan Electronics Control Board with dedicated 308/Shotgun firmware. This firmware includes two configurations: “308 Mode” and “Shotgun Mode.” The MTW-308 is set to “308 Mode” from the factory, but it is possible to change the mode accidentally and enter “Shotgun Mode,” which features additional dwell (a longer release of air) only suitable for shotgun builds. You can tell which configuration your MTW is set to by listening to the sound of the dwell. See the examples below.
308 Mode
Shotgun Mode
The configuration can be toggled between the two modes by holding down the trigger for at least 15 seconds. The MTW may fire or make a small click to let you know the mode has been changed.
NOTE: The MTW may also fire after 5 seconds, indicating the select fire mode has been changed. Continue to hold the trigger until the 15-second mark and the gun fires or clicks. If you desired, you can then set your fire mode as desired by holding down the trigger for 5 seconds.
