Safety Summary:
CAUTION - use of controls or adjustments, or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

This laser process machine is certified as a Class IIIa Laser Product to the requirements of the US Federal Product Performance Standard for Laser Products contained in the regulations in 21 CFR Subchapter J.

AVOID DIRECT EYE EXPOSURE TO THE BEAM.

This device should only be used to signal persons at a distance greater than 13 feet (4 meters).

During the performance of routine maintenance procedures such as cleaning the exterior or changing batteries the power should be turned to the off position.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE shall attempts be made to disassemble or service this product. All service is to be performed by the manufacturer or their authorized agent.

Assembly and Operation:

1. To assemble, insert 3-volt lithium battery with the positive (+) end facing out, screw on end cap.
2. Point the light output end (laser aperture) down for safety and twist Tactile On/Off Switch until the red laser is visible.
3. Ensure Rescue Laser Light is secured so it cannot be lost. Use the Lanyard Hole in the End Cap to secure with a tether or lanyard.
4. SIGNALING: Aim Laser Light in direction of target (aircraft, boat, vehicle, rescue party) you wish to signal, with the laser line vertical (up and down).
   

   HOW TO AIM

   Signaling Point the laser output end (laser aperture) toward the target. Make a "V" with your outstretched hand over the intended target. With the laser held near your eye in line of sight, slowly scan the vertical laser back and forth between your fingers toward the target, making each finger red as you scan.	Detecting When looking for any retro-reflective materials, point the laser output end (laser aperture) toward the object you are scanning and hold the laser near your line of sight to see the return flash from the object.

   Move the laser line VERY SLOWLY back and forth across the target (five degrees per second or slower). This type of signaling is referred to as "scanning." The slower the laser is scanned, the further it can be seen.

   IMPORTANT: ALWAYS POINT THE LASER OUTPUT END (LASER APERTURE) AWAY FROM YOUR EYES.

5. Keep signaling until you have positive contact with your rescuers or target and they are able to see you without the use of a signaling device.
6. DETECTING: When looking for reflective materials, point the laser aperture toward the object you are scanning and hold the laser near your line of sight to see the return flash from the object.
7. To turn Laser Light off, point the light output end (laser aperture) down for safety and twist Tactile On/Off Switch until the red laser is off.

Additional Survival Suggestions:

• When using any signaling device, ensure you are in an open area, clear of all obstructions that would hinder others from seeing you.
• Consider wearing bright colored clothing or altering your location in such a manner that it appears different than your surrounding terrain. This includes arranging rocks or logs, debris, or other objects in such a manner that they appear "unnatural" from the air.
• Do not move from your location unless safety is threatened. By moving, you create a moving target for would-be rescuers that requires additional time and effort to locate.
• Survival ultimately depends on your ability and training in using what is available to you in any given situation. The Greatland Laser product you have purchased will greatly aid you in signaling others for help if it has been properly maintained. The Rescue Laser Light can be an integral part of your complete survival system.

Maintaining the Rescue Laser Light:

Battery replacement and exterior cleaning are the only maintenance required. There are no user serviceable components inside the device. Attempting to gain access to the laser components will void the warranty.

• Turn Laser off before replacing battery or cleaning laser lens.
• Follow battery replacement guidelines and use fresh batteries in the unit for best results. For optimum performance, the battery in your Rescue Laser Light should be checked annually and replaced at least once every five years.
• Lens may be cleaned with a soft dry cloth or camera lens brush. Do not use cleaning fluids.
• Exterior may be wiped with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt, then dried.

Battery Replacement: The Rescue Laser Light operates on one 3-volt lithium photo battery (CR123). To replace the battery, turn Laser off, unscrew end cap and pull out spring, then remove battery. Insert fresh battery POSITIVE end UP, push spring firmly back into unit, and then screw on end cap. For optimum performance, the battery in your Rescue Laser Light should be checked annually and replaced at least once every five years.
