6. Operating Instructions

6.1. Power On/Off

The RML-IR features ambidextrous activation buttons located on either side of the unit. Press either button to activate the IR laser. Press again to deactivate.

6.2. Windage and Elevation Adjustment

The RML-IR allows for precise adjustments to the laser's point of impact.

Figure 3: Rear view of the Holosun RML-IR, indicating the windage and elevation adjustment screws.

• Locate the windage (horizontal) and elevation (vertical) adjustment screws on the unit.
• Use the provided adjustment tool to turn the screws. Each click corresponds to 4 MOA (Minutes of Angle) of adjustment.
• The total adjustment range is ±60 MOA for both windage and elevation.
• Adjust the laser until its point of aim coincides with your desired point of impact when viewed through a night vision device.

Note: The IR laser is not visible to the naked eye. Adjustments must be made while observing the laser through a night vision device.

7. Maintenance

7.1. Cleaning

To maintain optimal performance, keep the RML-IR clean. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe down the exterior. For the laser emitter lens, use a lens cleaning solution and a microfiber cloth designed for optics. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.

7.2. Battery Replacement

Replace the CR1/3N battery when the laser's intensity diminishes or it fails to activate. Refer to Section 5.1 for battery installation instructions.

8. Troubleshooting

Problem: Laser beam is not visible.

Solution: The Holosun RML-IR emits an Infrared (IR) laser, which is not visible to the naked eye. You must use a night vision device (e.g., night vision goggles or monocular) to see the laser beam.

Problem: Laser does not activate.

Solution:

• Ensure the CR1/3N battery is correctly installed with the positive (+) terminal facing outwards.
• Replace the battery with a fresh CR1/3N battery.
• Ensure the activation buttons are fully depressed.

Problem: Laser point is inconsistent or drifts.

Solution:

• Check that the RML-IR unit is securely mounted to the Picatinny rail. Tighten the mounting screw if necessary.
• Ensure the firearm's rail itself is stable and not loose.
