General safety precautions
• Failure to follow the safety information and safety instructions in this manual could result
in death, serious personal injury and/or property damage.
• The iP1 pistol is intended for target shooting only and will not function if it is not within
10” of the referenced iW1 wristwatch and the PIN code entered, or it or the referenced
iW1 wristwatch do not have sufficient battery power, or communication between them is
blocked. It should not be relied upon for purposes of self-defense.
• Always deactivate the iP1 pistol when you are finished using it to help prevent it from being
misused by third parties.
• Always seek a doctor’s advice if you are taking medication to be sure that you are able to
shoot and handle a firearm safely.
• Never drink alcoholic beverages or take drugs before or while shooting. Your vision and
judgment could be seriously impaired, making your firearm handling unsafe.
• If the iP1 pistol or any other firearm is carelessly or improperly handled, you could cause a
negligent discharge, which could result in death, serious personal injury and/or property
damage.
• Always handle the iP1 pistol as if it is loaded so that you never fire negligently.
• Never point the iP1 pistol at anything you do not intend to shoot.
• Never pull the trigger or put your finger on the trigger or in the trigger guard until you have
made the decision to fire.
• Never take anyone’s word that a firearm is unloaded; always check for yourself, with the
firearm pointed in a safe direction and your finger off of the trigger and outside of the
trigger guard.
6
iP1 SmartSystem – PersonalizediP1 SmartSystem
• Always make sure the iP1 pistol is unloaded and that the slide is locked open in the rear-
ward position with the magazine taken out before handing it to another person.
• Never alter or modify the iP1 pistol because this could cause it to malfunction and create
a dangerous condition.
• If the iP1 pistol is dropped or forcefully struck, it could be damaged and may not function
properly. Have it inspected by Armatix U.S.A., Inc. before continuing to use it.
• Do not expose the iP1 pistol to high heat or moisture because they could damage its elec-
tronic elements and prevent it from functioning properly.
• Never carry the iP1 pistol out of a suitable holster with a cartridge loaded in the chamber.
• Always store and transport the iP1 pistol unloaded and locked in a suitable container, such
as the included pistol case, out of the reach and sight of children or other unauthorized
persons. The personalized nature of the iP1 pistol is not an excuse for the failure to follow
safe firearm storage practices.
• Never store or transport ammunition or the synced iW1 wristwatch together with the PIN-
Card and the valid PIN codes of the iP1 SmartSystem in the same container as the iP1
pistol. The PIN-Card and the valid PIN codes of the iP1 SmartSystem must always be stored
separately and out of the reach and sight of children or other unauthorized persons.

iP1 SmartSystem – PersonalizediP1 SmartSystem
Most ammunition contains lead in the projectile and/or primer. Firing the iP1 pistol in a poorly
ventilated area can lead to the exposure to lead. Always wash your hands after handling am-
munition, firing the iP1 pistol, and/or performing preventive maintenance on the iP1 pistol to
minimize your exposure to lead.
Do not dry fire the iP1 pistol (pull the trigger and allow the hammer to fall on an empty cham-
ber) because this will result in premature wear. To practice pulling the trigger, use snap caps
or dummy rounds.
8
iP1 SmartSystem – PersonalizediP1 SmartSystem
Before it left the factory, the iP1 pistol was tested, carefully inspected, and packaged. Armatix
U.S.A., Inc. cannot control what happens to the pistol after it leaves the factory, therefore, care-
fully examine the iP1 pistol when you acquire it to ensure that it is unloaded and undamaged. If

1 Introduction
Dear Customer,
Thank you for choosing the Armatix iP1 SmartSystem – Personalized, which consists of the iP1 .22LR
pistol and the iW1 wristwatch and represents a revolutionary innovation.
The iP1 pistol is referenced to the iW1 wristwatch and can only be fired by the authorized user,
who has the referenced iW1 wristwatch and the required PIN code. This is designed to prevent the
iP1 pistol from being fired by unauthorized persons who may gain access to it, but do not have
the matching iW1 wristwatch and all required PIN code. If you purchased the iP1 pistol and iW1
wristwatch together as an iP1 SmartSystem – Personalized, they are already referenced on delivery
and therefore have the joint “key.”
The heart of the system, the iP1, is a modern, high precision, single-action/double-action, semi-
automatic pistol developed according to state-of-the-art technology and engineering principles. The
iP1 pistol, which is designed for accurate target shooting at distances up to 27 yards, features a
mechatronic safety device. This safety device is active by default and can only be deactivated using
the iW1 wristwatch.
The iP1 SmartSystem – Personalized is more than just a revolutionary safety concept. It is a true
innovation and represents the pistol of the future here and now.
Your Armatix Team

2 Main features of the iP1 Pistol
The iP1 pistol is a semi-automatic, single-action/double-action .22LR pistol with a ten round detachable magazine that
has been developed in accordance with the latest ergonomic principles and criteria. The parts and operating elements
of the iP1 pistol are identified in the figure below:

1.1 The iP1
1.1.1 Frame with LED and interchangeable backstraps
The frame features interchangeable backstraps in three different sizes to properly fit the hands of
different users. The iP1 pistol comes with the small backstrap installed. Medium and large back-
straps are available as options and can easily be changed by the user. The backstrap is linked to the
backstrap switch, which is activated to communicate with the iW1 wristwatch when the backstrap
is squeezed towards the front of the iP1 pistol. Depending on the status of the iP1 pistol, the LED will
light up in different colors when the backstrap is squeezed towards the front of the pistol:
• Green signals that the iP1 pistol is ready to be fired.
• Blue signals that the magazine has not been inserted or has not been inserted correctly.
• Red signals that the iP1 pistol is not activated and cannot be fired.
1.1.2 Slide with loaded chamber indicator (LCI)
The slide has a loaded chamber indicator (LCI) to comply with the laws of certain states. The upper
opening of the slide serves as a loaded chamber indicator (LCI) by allowing the user to look inside
the chamber to see whether or not a cartridge is loaded.
Although the iP1 pistol has a loaded chamber indicator (LCI) you should never solely rely on
it or your memory to determine whether the iP1 pistol is loaded or unloaded. Always retract
the slide by grasping it at the indented area at the rear of the slide and pulling it fully to the
rear and then visually and physically (with your finger) check to make sure there is not a
cartridge in the chamber.
15
iP1 SmartSystem – PersonalizediP1 SmartSystem
1.1.3 Trigger with Trigger Switch
The trigger includes a mechanical locking switch with prevents it from being pulled to the rear.
When the trigger switch is in the left position (when viewed in the firing direction, with the muzzle
pointed away from the user), the trigger is locked. When it is in the right position, the trigger is
released and can be pulled.

Although iP1 pistols have several internal safeties features designed to prevent an uninten-
tional discharge if the pistol is dropped or hit, the proper and safe function of the iP1 pistol
depends on it being used for its intended purposes and not being altered or modified. Like
any other mechanical device, if the iP1 pistol is subject to unusual and extreme forces, failure
can occur. Therefore, safe firearm handling practices and the instructions and safety warn-
ings in this manual must always be followed to minimize the risk of a negligent discharge.
In case any of the iP1 pistol’s safety features prove to be ineffective for any reason, the
possibility of an unintentional discharge exists. If so, the iP1 pistol should be immediately
unloaded and not be used again until it has been examined by Armatix U.S.A., Inc.
16
iP1 SmartSystem – PersonalizediP1 SmartSystem
1.1.4 Slide Release Lever
When the last round in the magazine is fired, the slide release lever will hold the slide locked in the
rearward position to signal that the magazine is empty. When the slide is pulled back with an empty
magazine in place, it will also be held in the rearward position by the slide release lever. In addition,
when there is no magazine inserted, the slide release lever can be manually pushed up to lock the
slide in the fully rearward position.
1.1.5 Magazine Release Lever
The magazine release lever is located beneath the trigger guard and is designed for use by both
right handed and left handed shooters. To remove the magazine, simply press down on the maga-
zine lever from either the right or left side.
1.1.6 Sights
The front sight is available in four different heights and can easily be changed by the user. The rear
sight features a trapezoidal recess to simplify centering the front sight.

2 Functioning of the iP1 SmartSystem – Personalized
The following describes how the iP1 pistol functions when the magazine is inserted, a round is in the
chamber, the trigger switch is in the right (released) position, and the synced iW1 wristwatch with
the PIN code entered and the pistol feature activated is worn on the wrist of your shooting hand:
• When the backstrap is squeezed towards the front of the iP1 pistol, the backstrap switch is
activated and communication between the iP1 pistol and iW1 wristwatch is initiated;
• When the trigger is pulled slightly to the rear, the iP1 pistol is activated for firing and the LED
lights up green.
• When the trigger is pulled fully back within 60 seconds, depending on the position of the ham-
mer, the following happens:
• If the hammer is already cocked (in the rear position), it is immediately released (fired in
single-action mode) or if the hammer is not cocked (in the forward position) it will first be fully
cocked and then immediately released (fired in double-action mode);
• When the hammer is released, it strikes the firing pin, which fires the cartridge in the cham-
ber;
• The recoil energy from the cartridge being fired causes the slide to move rearward, extracts
the fired cartridge casing from the chamber, ejects it, and cocks the hammer;
• The recoil spring then brings the slide forward to the closed position, during which it strips the
next cartridge from the magazine and transports it to the chamber.
• When the trigger is released, the iP1 pistol is ready to be fired again, until the last cartridge
in the magazine has been fired, after which the slide release will lock the slide in the open
(rearward) position.
Once you pull the trigger slightly to the rear, the iP1 pistol is activated for firing. You must pull
the trigger fully to the rear within 60 seconds or the iP1 pistol will return to inactive mode to
conserve battery power. If you do not pull the trigger fully to the rear within 60 seconds, you
must completely release the trigger to reactivate the pistol to allow it to be fired.

4 Operation of the iW1 wristwatch
The iW1 wristwatch is used to control the iP1 pistol and should be worn on the wrist of your firing
hand as it must be within 10” of the iP1 pistol to communicate with it. Using a PIN code, it can be
used to activate the iP1 pistol, set the amount of time within which the iP1 pistol will remain active,
and deactivate the iP1 pistol before the set time expires. It indicates when the iP1 pistol is active, as
well as the charge level of the batteries of the iP1 pistol. In addition, it also functions as a normal
digital wristwatch, displaying the time and date, and features an alarm clock and stop watch.

8 Synchronizing the time between the iP1 pistol & the iW1 wristwatch
The iP1 pistol will only be activated by the iW1 wristwatch when their system times are synchro-
nized. If the system times become unsynchronized, such as when the batteries in the iP1 pistol and/
or iW1 wristwatch are changed, or the system was not used for a long period of time, and the iP1
pistol is otherwise ready for use with the iW1 wristwatch:
• already referenced to the iW1 wristwatch;
• the correct PIN code has been entered in the iW1 wristwatch;
• the iP1 pistol is within 10” of the iW1 wristwatch;
• a magazine is inserted in the iP1 pistol; and
• the backstrap is actuated by squeezing it towards the front of the iP1 pistol
the display of the iW1 wristwatch will read “No SYnc” and the LED on the iP1 pistol will flash red. To
synchronize the time between the iP1 pistol and the iW1 wristwatch, complete the following steps:
1. If the iP1 pistol is loaded, unload it.
2. Insert an empty magazine in the iP1 pistol.
3. While holding the iP1 pistol within 10” of the iW1 wristwatch, actuate the backstrap by
squeezing it, while continuing to squeeze it, press the top left button on the iW1 wristwatch
once when the display reads “no SYnc.”
4. If iP1 pistol and iW1 wristwatch were successfully synchronized, the iW1 wristwatch will re-
turn to the standard display and the LED on the iP1 pistol will stop flashing.
5. If the “no SYnc” message continues to be displayed, stop squeezing the backstrap so the LED
on the iP1 pistol switches off, wait 20 seconds, and repeat steps 3-5.
6. If a flashing pistol is shown on the display, the synchronization was not successful. If you have
more than one iP1 SmartSystem – Personalized, make sure you are using the iW1 wristwatch
that is referenced to the iP1 pistol you are trying to synchronize.

11 Referencing the iP1 pistol to the iW1 wristwatch
Make sure that the iP1 pistol is unloaded (magazine removed and chamber empty) before
referencing it to the iW1 wristwatch.
Before referencing the iP1 pistol to the iW1 wristwatch, you need to enter the PIN code in the iW1
wristwatch pursuant to the instructions on activating the pistol. If purchased as a iP1 SmartSystem
— Personalized, the iP1 pistol was already referenced to the iW1 wristwatch when it was manufac-
tured. In this case is it only necessary to reference the iP1 pistol to the iW1 wristwatch if the iP1
pistol has been reset.
Do not reset the iP1 pistol with the iW1 wristwatch in public places to avoid that someone
can record the radio signal and can get access to your pistol PIN code when it is transferred
from the iW1 wristwatch to the iP1 pistol.
To reference the iP1 pistol to the iW1 wristwatch, complete the following steps:
1. Using the iW1 wristwatch, bring up the pistol menu by pressing the bottom right button once.
2. Press the top right and bottom right buttons at the same time for three seconds, until the
display reads “rEF GUN.”
3. Pick up the unloaded iP1 pistol (with an empty magazine inserted) and hold it in your shoot-
ing hand with the iW1 wristwatch within 10” of it and actuate the backstrap by squeezing it
towards the front of the iP1 pistol to transmit the iW1 wristwatch’s ID and key to the iP1 pistol.
4. If the display reads “rEF doNE” the iP1 pistol has been successfully referenced to the iW1
wristwatch. If the display reads “rEF no” repeat steps one through three.

12 Checking the batteries without using the iW1 wristwatch
Unless the iP1 pistol is in storage, check the battery charge level at least once a month and replace
batteries if necessary.
To check the battery charge level without using the iW1 wristwatch, remove the magazine and
grip the frame, and briefly squeeze the backstrap towards the front of the iP1 pistol and release it.
About five second after you stop squeezing the backstrap, the iP1 pistol will signal the status of its
batteries through the LED indicator:
• One green flash = the batteries have enough power.
• One red flash = the batteries are low on power and should be replaced soon.
• Two red flashes = the batteries are very low on power and must be immediately replaced
because the iP1 may not function reliably.
41
iP1 SmartSystem – PersonalizediP1 SmartSystem
13 Automatic battery charge indicator
Five seconds after the backstrap of the iP1 is released, the iP1 performs an electronic function
check, including checking the battery power. If the batteries are very low, and must be changed im-
mediately to ensure reliable functioning of the iP1 pistol, it will be shown through the LED indicator,
about four seconds after the backstrap is squeezed the next time, as follows:
• If the LED is lit up in green or blue, it will flash red twice.
• If the LED is lit up in red, it will quickly flash off and on twice.

15 Firing
•
• Always make sure that the cover is locked before firing the iP1 pistol. If it is not correctly
installed, the pistol will still fire, but the slide will not be locked which could lead to seri-
ous personal injury and/or damage to the iP1 pistol.
• The iP1 pistol will not operate if it is not within 10” of the referenced iW1 wristwatch
and the PIN code entered.
• Before firing the iP1 pistol, run a clean patch through the barrel, from the chamber end,
using the cleaning rod. Repeat this procedure until the patch comes out of the barrel
with no gun oil or cleaner-lubricant-preservative on it because any obstruction in the
barrel could prevent the iP1 pistol from firing properly and result in death or serious
personal injury and/or damage to the iP1 pistol.
• Always be sure that the barrel of the iP1 pistol is clear of obstructions before firing it.
Remove any obstructions before firing the iP1 pistol so that it will function safely and
correctly. Any obstruction in the barrel could prevent the pistol from firing properly and
result in death or serious personal injury and/or damage to the pistol.
• In case of a failure to fire, continue to hold the iP1 pistol pointed towards the target for
at least 30 seconds. If a hangfire (slow ignition) has occurred, the cartridge should fire
within approximately 30 seconds. If the cartridge has not fired, remove the magazine,
eject the cartridge from the chamber and examine its primer. If the firing pin indenta-
tion is light or non-existent, stop using the iP1 pistol and have it examined by Armatix
U.S.A., Inc. If the firing pin indentation on the primer appears normal (compared to
similar previously fired cartridges) the cartridge may be defective. Separate the car-
tridge from other live ammunition and empty cases, reload the iP1 pistol and resume
firing. (Note: Dispose of misfired cartridges in accordance with the ammunition manu-
facturer’s instructions).
• Never use the iP1 pistol if it fails to function properly, and never force the slide closed on
a jammed cartridge because it could cause the cartridge to explode.
45
iP1 SmartSystem – PersonalizediP1 SmartSystem
• Never pull the trigger if the slide does not fully close to prevent a possible out of bat-
tery firing. If this happens, unload the iP1 pistol as described in Chapter 19, examine
the round that was in the chamber, and check the chamber to ensure that there are no
obstructions or debris in it.
• Always wear safety glasses when firing the iP1 pistol to protect your eyes.
• Always wear ear protection when firing the iP1 pistol to protect your hearing.
• Always be sure that your backstop is adequate to stop and contain bullets before firing
so that you do not hit anything outside of the shooting range area. A bullet could travel
through or past your target as far as 1.5 miles. If in doubt, do not shoot.
• Never shoot at a hard surface, such as a rock, or a liquid surface, such as water, be-
cause a bullet may ricochet and travel in any direction, striking you or someone else.
• Always put a responsible and competent person in charge to maintain safety, discipline
and control when a group is firing at a range, to reduce the likelihood of a negligent
discharge.
• Always carry the iP1 pistol unloaded with the slide locked open in the rearward position
while on a range until preparing to fire. Always keep the iP1 pistol pointed towards the
backstop when loading, firing, and unloading it.
• When ready to fire be sure that the area behind the slide is clear (check your thumb) and
do not hold the iP1 pistol near your body, because the slide will move forcefully rearward
when the pistol is fired. (Note: When firing with a two-hand grip, the thumb of the weak
hand should be on the weak hand side of the iP1 pistol, never behind the slide).
• Always keep yourself and others clear of the ejection port because spent cartridges are
hot and are ejected with enough force to cause injury. Never touch the slide or barrel
immediately after firing because they may be hot and could cause burns.
46
iP1 SmartSystem – PersonalizediP1 SmartSystem
• Never place your fingers in the ejection port because they could be injured by the move-
ment of the slide.
• Never fire the iP1 pistol near an animal unless it is trained to accept that noise. An ani-
mal’s startled reaction could injure it, or cause it to injure you or someone else.
When the iP1 pistol is loaded with a cartridge in the chamber, the magazine is correctly inserted,
your synced iW1 wristwatch with the matching PIN code correctly entered is worn on the wrist of
your shooting hand, and the batteries in both the iP1 pistol and iW1 wristwatch have an adequate
charge, the iP1 pistol can be fired by completing the following steps:
1. Hold the iP1 pistol with your firing hand and support it with your other hand.
2. Squeeze the backstrap towards the front of the iP1 pistol to actuate it.
3. Aim at the target.
4. Push the trigger switch fully to the right.
5. Place your index finger on the trigger and pull it to its rearmost position and then release
it completely. (NOTE: In order to make sure that the system is ready for firing the following
round, the trigger must be released completely after every single shot.)
Once you pull the trigger slightly to the rear, the iP1 pistol is activated for firing. You must pull
the trigger fully to the rear within 60 seconds or the iP1 pistol will return to inactive mode to
conserve battery power. If you do not pull the trigger fully to the rear within 60 seconds after
you first begin pulling it, you must completely release the trigger to reactivate the pistol to
allow it to be fired.
After firing the last cartridge in the magazine, the slide will remain locked open in the rearward
position.
47
iP1 SmartSystem – PersonalizediP1 SmartSystem
16 Reloading when firing
When reloaded in the following manner, the iP1 pistol will be cocked and ready to fire by
pulling the trigger. If you do not intend to immediately continue firing the iP1 pistol, do not
reload it in this manner.
When the last cartridge is fired, the slide will be locked in the rearward position by the slide stop
lever. In order to insert a new magazine and resume firing, complete the following steps:
1. Secure the trigger by pressing the trigger switch to the left.
2. Remove the empty magazine by pressing down on the magazine catch.
3. Insert a loaded magazine into the magazine well until the magazine catch locks it in place.
4. Release the slide to return it to the forward (closed) position by either pressing the slide stop
lever down or grasping the rear of the slide at the indented area with your other hand and
pulling the slide fully back and then releasing it.
5. Release the trigger by pressing the trigger switch to the right.
The authorized user (with the corresponding iW1 wristwatch) can now continue firing the iP1
pistol simply by pulling the trigger.

17 Clearing malfunctions (jams)
In case of a failure to fire, continue to hold the iP1 pistol pointed towards the target for at
least 30 seconds. If a hangfire (slow ignition) has occurred, the cartridge should fire within
approximately 30 seconds. If the cartridge has not fired, remove the magazine, eject the
cartridge from the chamber and examine its primer. If the firing pin indentation is light or
non-existent, stop using the iP1 pistol and have it examined by Armatix U.S.A., Inc. If the
firing pin indentation on the primer appears normal (compared to similar previously fired
cartridges) the cartridge may be defective. Separate the cartridge from other live ammuni-
tion and empty cases, reload the iP1 pistol and resume firing.
Dispose of misfired cartridges in accordance with the ammunition manufacturer’s instruc-
tions.
• If an unfired cartridge hangs up, jams or binds while being chambered, do not attempt
to force it into the chamber by pushing or striking the slide to attempt to close it be-
cause this could cause the cartridge to burst resulting in fragments of the cartridge
flying out of the ejection port with sufficient force to cause death or serious personal
injury and/or property damage.
• Always wear safety glasses when attempting to remove a jammed cartridge to protect
your eyes.
• Use of improper ammunition could cause death or serious personal injury and/or prop-
erty damage. Only use high quality commercially manufactured .22 LR ammunition
that meets SAAMI or CIP standards.
49
iP1 SmartSystem – PersonalizediP1 SmartSystem
All auto-loading pistols may occasionally experience a malfunction (jam) related to the feeding of
ammunition. Most malfunctions are caused by improper ammunition, improper lubrication, or a
damaged magazine. To minimize the chance of malfunctions (jams), regularly clean the iP1 pistol
pursuant to the instructions in Chapter 21 of this manual.
If you experienced a malfunction (jam) while using a new brand, type, or lot of ammunition, try
firing another type of ammunition to determine whether the ammunition was the source of the
malfunction (jam). Identify the particular type of ammunition that Armatix recommends for use in
the iP1 pistol. If a cartridge becomes jammed while being chambered or extracted, follow the steps
below to remove it.
1. While keeping the muzzle of the iP1 pistol pointed in a safe direction (a safe direction is one
in which no one can possibly be injured in the event of an unintentional discharge), secure the
trigger by pressing the trigger switch to the left.
2. Remove the magazine if possible by pressing down on the magazine release. (Note: To prevent
damage to the magazine, do not allow it to fall to the floor).
3. While holding the grip with your firing hand, with your finger off of the trigger and outside of
the trigger guard, grasp the rear of the slide at the indented area with your other hand and
pull the slide fully back.
4. Lock the slide in the rearward (open) position by pushing up on the slide lock and slowly re-
leasing the slide from the fully rearward position until it locks in the open position.
5. If the above steps have not removed the jammed cartridge, carefully remove the jammed
cartridge from the chamber using your fingers or a pointed wooden dowel.
Do not use a metal tool to attempt to remove an unfired cartridge because it could ignite
the primer and cause the cartridge to rupture resulting in fragments of the cartridge flying
out of the ejection port with sufficient force to cause death or serious personal injury and/
or property damage.
6. If you are unable to remove the jammed cartridge using the above steps, leave the slide locked
in the rearward (open) position and contact Armatix U.S.A., Inc. for further instructions.

19 Unloading procedure and safety check
• Do not uncock the iP1 pistol with a cartridge in the chamber. If you lose your grip on the
hammer while lowering it, the iP1 pistol may unintentionally discharge, possibly leading
to death or serious personal injury to you or others.
• Although the iP1 pistol has a loaded chamber indicator (LCI) you should never solely
rely on it or your memory to determine whether the iP1 pistol is loaded or unloaded.
Always retract the slide by grasping it at the indented area at the rear of the slide and
pulling it fully to the rear and then visually and physically (with your finger) check to
make sure there is not a cartridge in the chamber.
• Although the iP1 pistol has a magazine disconnect, it is electronically controlled and
could fail. Never rely on a magazine disconnect to prevent the pistol from firing when
the magazine is removed and always retract the slide by grasping it at the indented
area at the rear of the slide and pulling it fully to the rear and then visually and physi-
cally (with your finger) check to make sure there is not a cartridge in the chamber.

21 Cleaning
• Always be sure that the barrel of the iP1 pistol is clear of obstructions before firing it.
Remove any obstructions before firing the iP1 pistol so that it will function safely and
correctly. Any obstruction in the barrel could prevent the pistol from firing properly and
result in death or serious personal injury and/or damage to the iP1 pistol.
• Although the iP1 pistol has a magazine disconnect, it is electronically controlled and
could fail. Never rely on a magazine disconnect and always retract the slide by grasping
it at the indented area at the rear of the slide and pulling it fully to the rear and then
visually and physically (with your finger) check to make sure there is not a cartridge in
the chamber.
• Always wear safety glasses when cleaning the iP1 pistol to protect your eyes from clean-
ing materials.
• Always make sure that no ammunition is located in the area where you clean the iP1
pistol. Cleaning solvents can affect the primer and powder in ammunition and cause
it to malfunction. This could result in a bullet being pushed into the barrel of the iP1
pistol and getting stuck. Firing another round with a bullet stuck in the barrel could
cause the barrel to burst and result in death or serious personal injury and/or damage
to the iP1 pistol.
• The frame of the iP1 pistol contains sensitive electric components. Leave the backstrap
installed on the frame when cleaning the iP1 pistol to protect its internal electronic
components. Be careful not to spill gun cleaning solvent, gun oil, or cleaner-lubricant-
preservative on it because they could damage the electronics and prevent the iP1 pistol
from functioning.
• As with any semi-automatic pistol, the iP1 pistol should be disassembled before cleaning
it. Cleaning without field stripping, by merely locking the slide to the rear and inserting
the cleaning rod from the muzzle, can cause dirt, oil and solvents to build up inside the
iP1 pistol causing malfunctions.
60
iP1 SmartSystem – PersonalizediP1 SmartSystem
Only use commercially available gun solvent and gun oil or a cleaner-lubricant-preservative.
Use of improper cleaning fluids could damage the iP1 pistol.
Regular cleaning and care of the iP1 pistol is important to prolong its serve life by reducing wear
and helping to ensure its functional safety. You should clean the iP1 pistol:
• before firing it for the first time; and
• after every 250 rounds fired in an extended shooting session; and
• after each session in which you fire it; and
• at least every six months; and
• anytime it is exposed to the elements, becomes wet, etc.
To clean the iP1 pistol, first disassemble it into its five main components, the frame, slide, recoil
spring, cover, and magazine, pursuant to the instructions in Chapter 20.
21.1 Barrel
Clean the barrel as follows:
1. Wet a cleaning patch with a gun cleaning solvent or a cleaner-lubricant-preservative and run
it through the barrel, from the chamber end, several times using a cleaning rod.
2. Wet a bristled cleaning brush with gun cleaning solvent or a cleaner-lubricant-preservative
and run it back and forth in the barrel, from the chamber end, using a cleaning rod.
3. Wet a new cleaning patch with gun oil or a cleaner-lubricant-preservative and run it through
the barrel once, from the chamber end, with the cleaning rod and examine it. If it is not clean,
repeat steps two and three until the patch remains clean after being run through the barrel.
61
iP1 SmartSystem – PersonalizediP1 SmartSystem
4. Before firing the iP1 pistol, run a clean patch through the barrel, from the chamber end, using
the cleaning rod. Repeat this procedure until the patch comes out of the barrel with no gun oil
or cleaner-lubricant-preservative on it.
If you will be storing the iP1 pistol, do not perform step 4 until you are ready to use it.
5. Wet a nylon bristle brush with gun cleaning solvent or a cleaner-lubricant-preservative and
thoroughly brush the outside of the barrel to remove any dirt or residue.
6. Wipe the outside of the barrel dry with a clean patch and examine it. If it is not clean, repeat
steps five and six until the patch remains clean.
21.2 Slide
Clean the slide as follows:
1. Wet a nylon bristle brush with gun cleaning solvent or a cleaner-lubricant-preservative and
thoroughly brush the running surfaces where the slide matches with the frame.
2. Wipe the running surfaces where the slide matches with the guide rails of the frame with a
clean patch and examine it. If it is not clean, repeat steps one and two until the patch remains
clean.
3. Wet a nylon bristle brush with gun oil or a cleaner-lubricant-preservative and, while holding
the slide with the muzzle end facing down, brush the breech face and the area under the
extractor.
4. While holding the slide with the muzzle end facing down, wipe the breech face and the area
under the extractor with a clean patch and examine it. If it is not clean, repeat steps three and
four until the patch remains clean.
5. Check all other exposed areas of the slide for cleanliness. If any dirt or debris is found, remove
it with gun cleaning solvent or a cleaner-lubricant-preservative using a nylon bristle brush or
a clean patch.
62
iP1 SmartSystem – PersonalizediP1 SmartSystem
6. Wipe the exposed areas of the slide that you have cleaned in step 5 with a clean patch and
examine it. If it is not clean, repeat steps five and six until the patch remains clean.
21.3 Frame
Check the frame for cleanliness. If necessary, clean the frame as follows:
1. Wipe exposed parts of the frame with a clean patch that has been slightly dampened with gun
cleaning solvent or a cleaner-lubricant-preservative.
2. Wipe the exposed areas of the frame with a clean patch and examine it. If it is not clean,
repeat steps one and two until the patch remains clean.
21.4 Magazine
Inspect the magazine for dirt or visible damage. If necessary, clean the magazine as follows:
1. Wipe the outside of the magazine and the feed lips with a clean patch that has been slightly
dampened with gun cleaning solvent or a cleaner-lubricant-preservative.
2. Wipe the outside of the magazine and the feed lips with a clean patch and examine it. If it is
not clean, repeat steps one and two until the patch remains clean.
After you have cleaned the iP1 pistol, lubricate it as follows:
1. Slightly dampen a clean patch with gun oil or a cleaner-lubricant-preservative and wipe the
outside of the barrel, the inside of the slide, and the outside of the magazine.
2. Spread one drop of gun oil or a cleaner-lubricant-preservative along the running surfaces of
the slide where it matches with the guide rails of the frame.
63
iP1 SmartSystem – PersonalizediP1 SmartSystem
Your iP1 pistol is designed to operate properly with only a small amount of lubrication. Do not
over-lubricate the iP1 pistol because too much lubricant can collect unburned powder and
other debris and prevent the iP1 pistol from functioning properly.
After you have finished cleaning and lubricating the iP1 pistol, and before you assemble it, you
should inspect the barrel for lead build up, bulges, cracks or obstructions and inspect the frame and
slide for any corrosion or visible damage.
Do not use a cracked, bulged, or obstructed barrel. Contact Armatix U.S.A., Inc. for instruc-
tions on having it replaced.
Check the magazine to make sure the follower and lips are not damaged. Press down on the fol-
lower with your fingertip and release it to make sure it springs back up and does not catch in the
magazine tube.

State required safety warnings
The following warnings are required by certain jurisdictions:
California
“Children are attracted to and can operate firearms that can cause severe injuries or
death. Prevent child access by always keeping guns locked away and unloaded when not
in use. If you keep a loaded firearm where a child obtains and improperly uses it, you may
be fined or sent to prison.”
“A los niños los atraen las armas de fuego y las pueden hacer funcionar. Ellos pueden
causarses lesions graves y la muerte. Evite que los niños tengan accesso a las armas de
fuego guardándolas siempre con llave y descargadas cuando no las esté utlizando. Si
usted tiene una arma de fuego cargada en un lugar en que un niño tiene acceso a ella y la
usa indebidamente, le pueden dar una multa o enviarlo a la cárcel.”
Connecticut
“UNLAWFUL STORAGE OF A LOADED FIREARM MAY RESULT IN IMPRISONMENT OR FINE.”
Florida

Maine
“ENDANGERING THE WELFARE OF A CHILD IS A CRIME. IF YOU LEAVE A FIREARM AND AMMU-
NITION WITHIN EASY ACCESS OF A CHILD, YOU MAY BE SUBJECT TO FINE, IMPRISONMENT OR
BOTH. KEEP FIREARMS AND AMMUNITION LOCKED UP. USE TRIGGER LOCKS.”
Maryland
WARNING: “Children can operate firearms which may cause death or serious injury. It is a crime to
store or leave a loaded firearm in any location where an individual knew or should have known that
an unsupervised minor would gain access to the firearm. Store your firearm responsibly!”
Massachusetts
“WARNING FROM THE MASSACHUSETTS ATTORNEY GENERAL: This handgun is not equipped
with a device that fully blocks use by unauthorized users. More than 200,000 firearms like this
one are stolen from their owners every year in the United States. In addition, there are more than
a thousand suicides each year by younger children and teenagers who get access to firearms.
Hundreds more die from accidental discharge. It is likely that many more children sustain serious
wounds, or inflict such wounds accidentally on others. In order to limit the chance of such misuse,
it is imperative that you keep this weapon locked in a secure place and take reasonable preventive
steps necessary to limit the possibility of theft or accident. Failure to take reasonable preventive
steps may result in innocent lives being lost, and in some circumstances may result in your liability
for these deaths.”
“IT IS UNLAWFUL TO STORE OR KEEP A FIREARM, RIFLE, SHOTGUN OR MACHINE GUN IN ANY
PLACE UNLESS THAT WEAPON IS EQUIPPED WITH A TAMPER-RESISTANT SAFETY DEVICE OR IS
STORED OR KEPT IN A SECURELY LOCKED CONTAINER.”
New Jersey:
“IT IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE TO LEAVE A LOADED FIREARM WITHIN EASY ACCESS OF A MINOR.”
New York City:
“THE USE OF A LOCKING DEVICE OR SAFETY LOCK IS ONLY ONE ASPECT OF RESPONSIBLE FIRE-
86
iP1 SmartSystem – PersonalizediP1 SmartSystem
ARMS STORAGE. FOR INCREASED SAFETY, FIREARMS SHOULD BE STORED UNLOADED AND
LOCKED IN A LOCATION THAT IS BOTH SEPARATE FROM THEIR AMMUNITION AND INACCES-
SIBLE TO CHILDREN AND OTHER UNAUTHORIZED PERSONS.”
North Carolina:
“IT IS UNLAWFUL TO STORE OR LEAVE A FIREARM THAT CAN BE DISCHARGED IN A MANNER
THAT A REASONABLE PERSON SHOULD KNOW IS ACCESSIBLE TO A MINOR.”
Texas:
“IT IS UNLAWFUL TO STORE, TRANSPORT, OR ABANDON AN UNSECURED FIREARM IN A PLACE
WHERE CHILDREN ARE LIKELY TO BE AND CAN OBTAIN ACCESS TO THE FIREARM.”
Wisconsin:
“IF YOU LEAVE A LOADED FIREARM WITHIN THE REACH OR EASY ACCESS OF A CHILD YOU MAY
BE FINED OR IMPRISONED OR BOTH IF THE CHILD IMPROPERLY DISCHARGES, POSSESSES, OR
EXHIBITS THE FIREARM.”
State laws and regulations concerning firearms change constantly. Please check with your
local federally licensed firearm dealer or state police for additional laws and regulations re-
garding the storage and use of firearms in your state.
