WARNING
WEAPON SAFETY: Prior to mounting the Holographic Weapon Sight (HWS) on a weapon, be
sure the weapon is cleared. If you are not sure how to clear the weapon, please see the
operator’s manual for the weapon platform you are mounting the HWS on.
LASER SAFETY: The HWS is a Class II laser product. The Class II level illuminating beam,
however, is completely blocked by the housing. The only laser light accessible to the eye is the
image beam and produces a power level that is within the limit of a Class IIa laser product. The
illuminating beam can be viewed directly by eye if the housing is broken. Turn the sight off
immediately and return the broken unit to the factory for repair.
FCC COMPLIANCE: The HWS complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to
the following conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference and (2) this device
must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
CAUTION
• Never remove any screws or disassemble the sight’s optical housing components. The
optical cavity is nitrogen filled and sealed to prevent internal fogging.
• Disassembly will void the warranty and render the sight inoperable.
• Always check to make sure the sight is off before pressing the NV button to turn on the
sight in the Night Vision mode. Otherwise, it will toggle to the Normal mode and saturate the
image intensifier.
