and NOTES.
Below you will find definitions of important alerts that appear throughout this Manual:

WARNING:

This product contains natural rubber latex which may cause allergic reactions! The FDA

has reported an increase in the number of deaths that are associated with an apparent sensitiv-

ity to natural latex proteins. If you are allergic to latex, it is a good idea to learn which products

contain it and strictly avoid exposure to those products.

WARNINGS:

• When installing the unit on a weapon, be sure the weapon is CLEAR and that the SAFETY is on

before proceeding.

• NEVER LOOK INTO THE LASER BEAM.
• When used in total darkness, the light from the unit’s infrared (IR) illuminator or IR laser is

invisible to the naked eye. However, the light can be detected by other Night Vision De-

vices (NVD).

• To reduce the risk of detection by another NVD, avoid prolonged activation of the IR illumina-

tor or IR laser.

• The IR light becomes more detectable by another NVD when used in smoke, fog and rain.

Avoid prolonged activation of the unit IR illuminator or IR laser in these conditions.

• The intensifier’s phosphor screen contains toxic materials. Please note the following:
— If the intensifier tube breaks, be extremely careful to avoid inhaling the phosphor screen

material. DO NOT allow the material to come in contact with your mouth, eyes, or any open

wounds on the skin.

— If the phosphor screen material comes in contact with your skin, wash it off immediately with

soap and water.

— If you inhale or swallow any phosphor screen material, drink a lot of water, induce vomiting,

and seek medical attention as soon as possible.
