SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

The following general safety precautions supplement the
specific WARNINGs, CAUTIONs and NOTEs that appear
elsewhere in this manual.

WARNING

The Infrared (IR) LED Illuminator is detectable by
an enemy using night vision devices. Detection is
easier in smoky, foggy, or rainy conditions. To
reduce the risk of detection by an enemy using
night vision devices, avoid prolonged activation of
the IR LED Illuminator.

WARNING

Emission of stray light from the eyepiece (even
with eyecup installed) may be detectable by the
enemy.

WARNING

Do not touch, ingest, or inhale particles or
fragments of a broken objective lens. Lens
contains material that may cause irritation to eyes,
skin, upper and lower respiratory tracts, or
gastrointestinal tract. If contacted, flush eyes or
skin with large amounts of water. If ingested, DO
NOT induce vomiting. Rinse mouth with water
and give victim 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Fragments of lens may be sharp enough to cut
personnel if touched.
