SAFETY STATEMENT
Be sure to observe all local, state and federal laws. Shooting a gun at
night is highly dangerous and can lead to lethal consequences.
Know and understand your shooting field. Bullets travel farther than the
range of thermal detectors so care must be taken to ensure there are
no unintended targets beyond the actual target.
Be sure you identify your target - to hunters unfamiliar with thermal
technology, hogs and farm animals and even people might appear
similar in an IR image.
WARNING:
DO NOT DISASSEMBLE THE DEVICE.
Disassembly can cause permanent damage.
Important Safety Instructions
• Read and follow all instructions
• Heed all warnings
• Only use the attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer
• All service must be provided by the manufacturer
WARNING:
Always make sure your firearm is unloaded before you place the scope
on the firearm. Reconfirm that the chamber is empty if you stop the
procedure then resume later. Safe handling rules should be followed at
all times.
WARNING:
If a scope is mounted too far to the rear, the eyepiece can injure the
shooter’s brow. Shooting at an uphill angle also increases this hazard
because it shortens the distance between the brow and the rear of the
scope. For this reason, FLIR scopes are engineered to provide generous
eye relief. Therefore, when mounting your scope, we recommend
positioning it as far forward in the mounts as possible to take full
advantage of this generous eye relief. With hard-recoiling rifles,
serious injury or even death can result from eyepiece impact with the
shooter during the recoil process when discharging the firearm. Be
certain that your installation provides sufficient eye relief for the recoil
generated by your rifle before shooting the firearm.
NOTE:
Give special attention to this warning when shooting uphill and/or
from a prone position. These shooting conditions can dramatically
reduce eye relief. PLEASE maintain maximum eye relief when shooting
heavy recoiling and/or magnum firearms. THE USER ASSUMES ALL
RESPONSIBILITY AND LIABILITY FOR HAVING THE FLIR WEAPON
SIGHT PROPERLY MOUNTED TO A FIREARM AND USING THE FLIR
WEAPON SIGHT PROPERLY. ALWAYS CHECK THE CONDITION OF YOUR
MOUNTING SYSTEM PRIOR TO USING YOUR FIREARM.
