In 1816 Eliphalet Remington was confident he could make a flintlock that was as good or better than any he could buy. The barrel he handcrafted set a new standard for firearm accuracy and spawned generations of products that have made Remington® Arms America's leading gunmaker. While performance and style are certainly hallmarks of Remington firearms, one factor ultimately drives their performance. Eliphalet Remington never lost sight of the fact that his rifles were potentially lethal and could kill someone if handled improperly.

The Operating Sequence The operating sequence of the Model 700 EtronX is as follows: · Enable the firearm by turning the key switch until it is in-line with the barrel. · When the safety mechanism is moved to the F-FIRE position without a cartridge chambered, the LED (Light Emitting Diode) will flash a status code if one is pending (e. g. low battery), or will remain OFF until a cartridge is loaded and sensed present in the closed and locked chamber. · When a cartridge is loaded and sensed present by the firearm's electronics in the closed and locked chamber and the safety mechanism is in the F-FIRE position, the LED turns ON solid and the firearm is ready to fire. · When the trigger is pulled, the chambered round is fired and the LED is turned OFF. · When the fired cartridge is ejected and another cartridge is chambered and sensed present by the firearm's electronics (with the safety mechanism in the F-FIRE position), the LED turns ON solid. If the cartridge is removed from the chamber, the firearm's electronics sense the round is no longer present and turns the LED OFF. · When the safety mechanism is moved to the F-FIRE position with a cartridge chambered, it takes approximately 1/2 second for the LED to turn ON solid, indicating the rifle is ready to fire. · After a cartridge is sensed present and the safety mechanism remains in the F-FIRE position, cartridges can be fired every 0. 6 seconds. 8 · Whenever the LED is turned ON solid, the firearm is ready to fire. · If the firearm has gone into the low power consumption mode, cycle the safety mechanism to the S-SAFE position and then to the F-FIRE position to reactivate the firearm. · When you are finished shooting, disable the firearm by: (1) moving the safety mechanism to the S-SAFE position; (2) turning the key switch until it is perpendicular to the barrel such that the key switch will be pointing at the OFF symbol (O) on the key switch and (3) unloading all ammunition from the magazine and chamber. A troubleshooting guide for the Model 700TM EtronXTM is included beginning on page 20 of this instruction book. The troubleshooting guide, in conjunction with this instruction book, should answer most questions you may have about your rifle and its operation. Important Parts of the Firearm The Safety Mechanism The safety mechanism provides protection against accidental or unintentional discharge under normal usage when properly engaged and in good working order. Always put the safety mechanism in the S-SAFE position before handling, loading, unloading or disassembling the firearm. When you are ready to fire the firearm, put the safety mechanism in the F-FIRE position to disengage the safety mechanism. Your fingers and all other objects should be kept outside of the trigger guard and away from the trigger until you are actually ready to fire by pulling the trigger. Never pull the trigger when the safety mechanism is in the S-SAFE position. WARNING: If the LED is turned ON solid, the firearm will fire when the trigger is pulled. Even when you think the safety mechanism is in the S-SAFE position, careless handling can cause the firearm to fire. See the TEN COMMANDMENTS OF FIREARM SAFETY on page 2. PICTURE 4 PICTURE 3 The Key Switch The key switch is located in the bottom of the pistol grip. The key switch is used to both enable and disable the electronic system.
