WARNING

NEVER boresight in the High Power mode of operation.

CAUTION

DO NOT over-adjust the laser adjusters by forcing them beyond their end

of travel.

CAUTION

DO NOT defocus the infrared illuminator by forcing it beyond its normal end

of travel.

CAUTION

DO NOT overtighten the Safety Screw when installing it into the DBAL-I

housing as you may strip the housing threads.

CAUTION

Prior to submerging the DBAL-I

, make sure the infrared illuminator focusing

knob has been adjusted in a CCW direction to the focus point.

CAUTION

Use ONLY authorized cleaning supplies on the DBAL-I

or permanent damage

may occur.
