For a quick, “Grab & Go” game of Lazer Tag®, simply
follow these steps:
1. Press the TRIGGER to wake your TAGGER up.
2. Verify that the power-up SFX are played, and “LTAG”
appears on the LCD screen.
3. Press the Trigger to start the Classic LAZER TAG
“LTAG” game. All players should press their triggers
together, so that everybody starts at the same time.
4. The LCD Screen will display a 10-second countdown
during which time the players should take their
desired positions.
5. At T-0 the TAGGER will say “GOOD LUCK” and the
game will begin.
6. Aim and get tagging!
The Classic LAZER TAG game is an “individuals” game, which
means that all other players are your opponents. The winner
is the last player not tagged out. Each player has unlimited
reloads, 10 Mega-Tags, 15 seconds of shields, and is tagged out
after receiving 10 tags from other players.

After a player is tagged out, their Game Time will continue
to run for another 2 minutes and the number of minutes and
seconds which they lasted before being tagged out will be
shown below the Game Time. Any player who has cheated by
restarting their TAGGER in mid-game will have a much lower
Game Time than anyone else, so players can check each others’
timers to ensure no player has done this.
A TAGGER will go to sleep if there is no activity for two minutes
after being tagged out. To maintain your game timer longer than
this, press OK once a minute or so until the game is over for all
players, then you can compare timers.
Classic LAZER TAG is not a Hosted game, so it does not require
Hosting and Joining the way the other more advanced games do.
It also does not support Debriefing and Scoring at the end of the
game.
To turn your TAGGER off, press 2nd F + CANCEL.
If you’d like to start another game, just press the TRIGGER.

1. For Zone Games, set the Indoor/Outdoor Switch to
“Outdoor” for a larger zone, or “Indoor” for a smaller zone.

tags when playing in an enclosed area, switch the Indoor/

4. Tags can be registered from a distance, even if it exceeds
your lock-on and verification capabilities. This means you
can sometimes score a long distance tag without audio/
visual verification. Even if your TAGGER is not locking on to
its target, it is often worth attempting a long distance tag
in excess of 100 feet using the manual sight alone.
3. There are two sights on the left side of the Tagger™* Unit
to assist in accurate launching of tags. Line up your target
by using the two sights for increased accuracy in targeting.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When joining, hosting or debriefing, switch the Speaker On/Off Switch to Off [ ].

TO WEAR THE HUD (HEADS UP DISPLAY)
HEADSET SYSTEM
1. Wake up the TAGGER by pressing the TRIGGER.
2. Put the HUD (HEADS UP DISPLAY) HEADSET on over your head,
similar to putting on a pair of sunglasses. Take the right side of

loop it through the holder on the left side. Pull the headband
tight to the back of your head and fasten by pressing down
firmly. Adjust the strap on the back of your head so that the
headset is firmly in place. Make sure the HUD (HEADS UP
DISPLAY) OPTICAL PROJECTOR is on your right side, and that you
can see clearly through the lenses.
3. Move the OPTICAL PROJECTOR to position the EYEPIECE so that
you can clearly see your Visual Confirmation Symbols.
4. Adjust the brightness of the Visual Confirmation Symbols using
the DISPLAY BRIGHTNESS SLIDE SWITCH.
NOTE: The TAGGER will function properly without the HUD (HEADS
UP DISPLAY) attached.
LAZER TAG Players follow a strict code of conduct when playing
LAZER TAG. The following is the Official LAZER TAG Code Of
Conduct that should be strictly adhered to in every game of
LAZER TAG.
Rule 1: LAZER TAG is a non-contact sport
This means no physical contact between you and other
players – EVER!
Rule 2: No covering the Receiver Dome
This means do not use anything to cover up the Receiver Dome
thereby preventing you from receiving tags. If you want to avoid
being tagged, you must use your defensive shields or take cover
behind something.
Rule 3: Equipment Failure means Disqualification
In the event that your TAGGER fails to work, you are disqualified
and must wait until the end of the game to join the next one.
Please check your TAGGER and HUD (HEADS UP DISPLAY)
carefully before entering a game to ensure that it is working
properly.
Rule 4: LAZER TAG is a Game
Players must remember that LAZER TAG is only a game. It is
designed purely for recreational use and for fun. Not having fun
is against the code.
