5. Troubleshooting
- Device does not activate:
Check battery installation and ensure the battery is fresh. Reinstall the battery, ensuring correct polarity. If the issue persists, replace the battery with a new one. - Laser or light is dim:
This typically indicates a low battery. Replace the CR2 battery. - Laser does not hold zero:
Ensure the mounting screws are securely tightened to the firearm's rail. Verify that the rail itself is not loose or damaged. If the unit is securely mounted, re-adjust the windage and elevation as needed. - Difficulty changing modes:
Ensure both activation pads are pressed simultaneously and held for the required duration (approximately 3 seconds) to cycle modes.
