5.2. Mounting the Unit
- Select the Correct Rail Key: The unit comes with two rail keys. One is pre-installed for Glock-style rails, and the other is a 1913 Picatinny key. Choose the key that matches your pistol's rail.
- Attach to Pistol Rail: Loosen the rail clamp bolt on the bottom of the unit. Slide the unit onto your pistol's accessory rail until it is in the desired position.
- Secure the Unit: Tighten the rail clamp bolt using the provided screw hex wrench until the unit is firmly secured to the rail. Ensure it does not wobble.

5.3. Laser Adjustment (Zeroing)
To ensure accuracy, the green laser beam needs to be adjusted (zeroed) to align with your pistol's sights. Use the provided laser adjustment hex wrench for this process.
- Windage Adjustment: The windage adjustment screw is located on the side of the unit. Turn this screw to move the laser beam horizontally (left/right).
- Elevation Adjustment: The elevation adjustment screw is located on the top/bottom of the unit. Turn this screw to move the laser beam vertically (up/down).
Perform adjustments in a safe environment, following all firearm safety rules. It is recommended to perform fine adjustments at a shooting range.
