•SZYM Paladin 2DR XL-C
•SZYM Paladin 2DR XXL-C
•SZYM Paladin 4DR S

•SZYM Paladin Bed Toolbox (Black)
•SZYM Paladin Bed Toolbox (Metal)
•SZYM Paladin Dual Rear Wheel Kit
•SZYM Paladin Theme Applier
•NTBI Factory Lightbar Package Delivery Tool
First, if desired, rez the Factory Lightbar Package Delivery Tool. This
will send you a delivery box that should include at least the following:
•NTBI Agent 4X MAX LED Lightbar (Paladin Back)
•NTBI Agent 4X MAX LED Lightbar (Paladin Front)
•NTBI Priority 4X MAX LED Lightbar
•NTBI Vertex 4 LED Lightbar
Next, rez your desired model. The “S”, “M”, “L”, “XL”, and “XXL” refer
to the wheelbase length. The 2DR XL-C and XXL-C models are
designed for use with bed modifications and should not be driven as-is.
The Dual Rear Wheel Kit is only compatible with Medium
and Long wheelbases. Do not link it to S, XL, or XXL models.
If you want to use a lightbar or the Dual Rear Wheel Kit, make sure
nobody is sitting in the vehicle, then rez the lightbar or kit and follow
the prompts. You do not need to position it first. For lightbars, refer to
Emergency vehicle lightbar installation in the Configuration chapter.

WARNING: Never link or unlink anything to or from the
vehicle if text is shown above it indicating that the vehicle’s
configuration is being applied. Doing so can cause severe and
irreversible damage to the vehicle’s components.
To ride as a passenger, right-click any passenger door or the rear seat
(if equipped) and select “Drive” or “Ride”. To drive, right click
anywhere else, suck as the driver door, and select “Drive”.
Users that do not have access to the vehicle cannot sit as a
passenger unless the door is open. If you want to invite
someone as a passenger, open the door for them first. Additionally,
passengers without access cannot open any door except their own.
Your vehicle must be started manually. To start your vehicle, either:
•Click anywhere non-interactive on the outside of the vehicle to
open the vehicle menu, then select “Start”.
•Enter mouselook by pressing the M key or scrolling your
camera into the cabin, then click behind the right half of the
steering wheel where the key is. You can click above or below
the key. If nothing happens, you may be clicking too far to the
right, which is where you can click to move the gearshift.
•Push the green key button on the GVHUD.
•Push the “I” key on your keyboard, if your gestures are active.
If you do not have a GVHUD, click the vehicle to open the vehicle
menu, then select “Get HUD”. Note that your vehicle is not compatible
with the EVHUD.
If you want to customize your vehicle, click it to open the vehicle
menu. Then, select “Config…”, then “Vehicle…”, then “Go to page”.
This will open Setup in your web browser. Refer to
Setup in the
Configuration chapter.
If you set your access mode to Keyring when completing Setup and
you want to allow other people to use your vehicle, click it to open the
vehicle menu, then select “Config…”, then “Keyring…”, then “Go to
page”. This will open NBS Keyring in your web browser. Refer to
Keyring access control in the Access and Seating chapter.

If you want to customize your license plate, click your vehicle to open
the vehicle menu, then select “Config…”, then “Plate…”, then either
“Number…” to change the plate number or “Template…” to change the
plate design. For more information and a list of available templates,
refer to
Global License Plate System in the Configuration chapter.
If you want to customize the lighting patterns and configuration used
for the different positions of the four-position slide switch on the
GVHUD, refer to
Four-position switch in the Global Vehicle HUD
(GVHUD)
chapter.
FLEET MANAGEMENT
The SZYM Paladin is designed to simplify fleet management. We
recommend that you make use of the following features:
Keyring access control
Your vehicle is compatible with NBS Keyring, a free remote access
management system. With Keyring, you can control access settings for
an entire fleet of vehicles at once using “rings”, which support adding
multiple users and groups through the NBS website and propagate to
any vehicle that uses that ring. Refer to
Access control mode in the
Access and Seating chapter.
Custom graphics
Your vehicle’s exterior body textures can be customized. You will need
a recent version of Adobe Photoshop. Refer to
Templates and custom
graphics
in the Configuration chapter.
Duplicating vehicles
Your vehicle can be duplicated by holding the Shift key in edit mode
and dragging the vehicle’s position. This will create a duplicate of your
vehicle and will copy over its configuration after a few seconds. We
recommend configuring your vehicle before duplicating it.
Copying configurations
Your vehicle’s configuration can be copied to another vehicle without
duplication. Refer to
Config codes in the Configuration chapter.

Configuration
SETUP
Your vehicle’s equipment can be styled using Web Setup, a service
provided through NBS. Setup allows you to configure your vehicle’s
options using your web browser.
Make sure your Second Life viewer is set to use the system
browser –
not the built-in browser
– for non-Second-Life
links. You can usually find this setting in the “Network & Files”
section of your viewer’s preferences.
To open Setup, click the vehicle to open the vehicle, then select
“Config…”, then “Vehicle…”, then “Go to page”. Your web browser will
open a page where you can change the options available for your
vehicle. As you change options, they will appear in-world, but will not
be saved permanently. To save your changes, click the “Save & Send”
button at the bottom of the page.
Lightbar configuration: Setup supports the lightbars included with
your vehicle. However, they must be installed before opening Setup.
Refer to
Emergency vehicle lightbar installation later in this chapter if
you would like to install a lightbar on your vehicle. Additionally,
Setup only allows you to configure the colors and layout of your
emergency vehicle lighting. To configure the pattern selections and
other lightbar features, refer to
Four-position switch in the Global
Vehicle HUD (GVHUD)
chapter.
Config codes
You can copy a vehicle configuration by clicking the vehicle to open the
vehicle menu then selecting “Config…”, then “Codes…”. This will show
the current config codes for the vehicle configuration and access
control list in Nearby Chat, and will open a text box where you can
paste another config code. You can then do the same on a second
vehicle, then copy and paste the desired code into this text box to clone
the configuration to a different vehicle.

7
There are four different config codes for your vehicle. Unlike
SPT2 vehicles, you will need to copy all four codes if you
want to make an exact copy of your vehicle. However, you can also
copy over any number of the four codes to only copy over certain
features of the vehicle.
Vehicle: The vehicle config code (also called a config key) is a 16-
character string that identifies installed equipment for your vehicle.
All settings available via Setup are stored using this code. The code
can be applied to another vehicle to copy all of these settings over.
Keyring:The Keyring config code (also called a config key) is a 16-
character string that identifies who can access your vehicle when the
access mode is set to Keyring. This code can be applied to another
vehicle to copy the access list over.
Due to limitations with NBS Keyring, copying the access
config code to another vehicle is supported, but not usually
recommended. If you make any changes to the access list between
the time you copy the access config code and the time you load it
into a new vehicle, those changes will also be applied, but no further
changes to the original vehicle’s access list will apply. Therefore, it
is strongly recommended that if you do copy over an access config
code, do so before making any further changes to the access list to
avoid any confusion. To synchronize access for multiple vehicles, use
of a Keyring ring is strongly recommended instead.
Plate: The plate config code is accessed by selecting “Config…”, then
“Plate…”, then “Copy”. It is a 5 to 23-character string that includes all
of the data used to render your plate number and design. The code can
be applied to another vehicle to clone the plate, or you can save it and
edit the plate number in the code to provide custom assigned plates to
other people that own vehicles equipped with the Global License Plate
System (GLPS). Refer to
Global License Plate System in this chapter.
Lighting: The lighting config code is a long string that includes all of
the programmed settings used by the four-position switch on the
Global Vehicle HUD (GVHUD). The code can be applied to another
vehicle to copy the switch’s programming over. Refer to
Four-position
switch
in the Global Vehicle HUD (GVHUD) chapter.
