Setup
1. Battery Installation
The Double Driver requires batteries for its electronic functions. Please follow these steps:
- Gaia Memories: Each Gaia Memory requires 3 LR44 button batteries. These batteries are included with the product. Carefully open the battery compartment on each Gaia Memory and insert the batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
- Double Driver Main Unit: The main Double Driver unit requires 3 AAA batteries. These batteries are not included and must be purchased separately. Locate the battery compartment on the back of the main buckle unit, open it, and insert the AAA batteries, observing correct polarity.
Always use new batteries and dispose of old batteries responsibly. Do not mix old and new batteries, or different types of batteries.
2. Belt Assembly
The Double Driver belt consists of a main buckle and two detachable belt sections (left and right). The belt features a nylon strip design for size adjustment.
- Attach the left and right belt sections to the corresponding slots on the main Double Driver buckle. Ensure they click securely into place.
- Adjust the belt to your desired waist size (approximately 70cm to 100cm) using the adjustable nylon strip.
- Secure the belt with the provided belt stopper.

Operating Instructions
The CSM Double Driver Ver.1.5 allows for various transformation and attack sounds by inserting Gaia Memories.
- Power On: Ensure batteries are correctly installed in both the main unit and the Gaia Memories. The Double Driver does not have a separate power switch; it activates upon memory insertion.
- Inserting Gaia Memories: Select two Gaia Memories. Insert one into the left slot of the Double Driver buckle and the other into the right slot. Ensure they are fully inserted until you hear a click. The driver will announce the names of the inserted memories and play a transformation sound.
- Activating Finisher Attacks: To activate a finisher sound, press the central button or lever on the Double Driver buckle after inserting the Gaia Memories. The specific action may vary based on the combination of memories.
- Removing Gaia Memories: To remove a Gaia Memory, press the release button located near each slot and pull the memory out.
- Independent Driver Use: The left belt section features a new attachment/detachment mechanism, allowing the main driver body to be used independently, as seen in the series.
