Installation Guide
The SOLOFISH Laser Sight is designed for easy installation on 21MM Picatinny rails. Ensure your firearm meets the following requirements for proper fit and function:

- A minimum of 0.9 inches of installation space is required from the cross slot to the trigger guard.

Mounting Steps:
- Identify the appropriate Picatinny slot on your firearm that meets the space requirements.
- Align the laser sight with the chosen slot. The sight features three alternative screw holes; select the one that best suits your preference and firearm's rail.
- Use the provided single screw and the appropriate Allen wrench to secure the laser sight firmly to the rail. Ensure it is tightened sufficiently to prevent movement during use.

Operating Instructions
The SOLOFISH Laser Sight is designed for user-friendly operation with ambidextrous on/off buttons, making it suitable for both left and right-handed users.
- To turn the laser sight ON, press either of the ambidextrous buttons located on the sides of the unit.
- To turn the laser sight OFF, press the button again.
Laser Adjustment (Windage and Elevation)
To ensure accurate targeting, the laser sight's windage (horizontal adjustment) and elevation (vertical adjustment) can be precisely tuned. Use the smaller Allen wrenches provided in the package for these adjustments.
- Locate the adjustment screws on the laser sight. Typically, one screw controls windage (left/right) and another controls elevation (up/down).
- Insert the appropriate Allen wrench into the adjustment screw.
- Important: Adjust windage and elevation slowly and interactively. Turning only one direction excessively may lock or damage the internal threads. Make small, incremental adjustments, checking the laser's position after each turn.
