DESTRUCTION NOTICE:

Destroy the sight’s operability by removing the battery cap, batteries,

and then crushing the battery cap. Destroy this document by any method that will prevent

disclosure of contents or reconstruction of the document.

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.
