3.3 OPERATING PROCEDURES
3.3.1 OPERATING THE CIPHER
WARNING:
When installing the equipment on a weapon, verify that the weapon is clear and that the safety
is on before proceeding.
CAUTION:
DO NOT force the equipment controls past their stopping points.
CAUTION:
Although the Cipher is highly resistant to damage from light overload, DO NOT point it, either
powered or inoperative, directly at the sun or any other source of high-intensity light that the
unprotected human eye cannot tolerate (such as welding arc). To prevent inadvertent expo-
sure, never leave the equipment unsupervised with the objective lens cap removed.
