This programming mode allows you to set options of ASTER basic functions. You can easily change menu level by switching fire selector. You navigate given menu very quickly by pulling the trigger. Each time you pull the trigger, LED color changes as well as number of accompanying vibrations. The table presents functions and their options programmable via trigger as well as how they are indicated by LED and vibrations.

Particular settings in the programming via trigger mode may be different in custom versions.


Table

* To evoke options of Advanced function, hold the trigger down for more than 3 seconds.

** GCS setting is a setting previously defined in GCS application, whose value is not available for selection in this programming mode. Once you change such setting to a different option during programming via trigger and then exit this programming mode, it is no longer possible to set that setting from this level (it can be still specified via GCS).

   
**Notice**  
To run programming via trigger and fire selector, your AEG must have a physical 3-stage fire selector. 


## Turning on the programming mode*

1. Switch fire selector position to SEMI
2. Fire a shot or burst
3. Keep the trigger pulled for 7 seconds – until you hear a vibration and see dark blue light in the trigger hole

* Not possible if Auto mode is assigned to SEMI position.

## Turning on the programming mode – the second 'backup' method

1. Disconnect the battery
2. Pull the trigger
3. While the trigger is pulled, connect the battery (ignore warning vibrations)
4. Hold the trigger for 3 seconds – until you hear a vibration and see dark blue light in the trigger hole

  
**Notice**

If you hold the trigger for 10 seconds, factory settings are restored, which is notified by 2 vibrations.

  


## Selecting a function

1. Switch fire selector to SEMI
2. To get to a given function, pull the trigger right number of times (according to the table on page x)

## Selecting option of a function

1. Switch fire selector to AUTO
2. To get to a given option of a selected function, pull the trigger right number of times (according to the table on page x)

## Saving an option

1. To save a given option, switch fire selector to SEMI
2. Then, the setting is saved and you are back in the functions menu
3. If you want to, set options for other basic functions in the same way

## Evoking options of Advanced function

1. Select a given option of Advanced function
2. Pull and hold the trigger for more than 3 seconds

## Exiting the programming mode

1. Switch fire selector to SAFE
2. Enjoy ASTER functions you've just set

  


**Notice**  
Number of vibrations and LED color reflect position of given option or function in the menu, for example: if option 5x Full is selected for function Burst mode, there will be 3 vibrations accompanied by LED glowing green.

  


**Notice**  
ASTER remembers your settings, so you always know which option is presently set. Therefore, if you already defined ASTER functions, their programming starts from option currently specified for a given function.
