- Keep out of reach of children.
- Use only specified batteries.
- Ensure the device is securely mounted before use.
Setup
1. Mounting the Device
The GL15 is designed for rail mounting. It is compatible with 1913 Picatinny rails and features a secure screw installation mechanism to prevent accidental detachment.
- Identify the desired mounting position on your 1913 Picatinny rail.
- Loosen the mounting screw on the GL15.
- Slide the GL15 onto the rail. Ensure it is seated correctly.
- Tighten the mounting screw firmly using the provided L-wrench. Do not overtighten.

3. Co-axial Zeroing (Green and IR Beams)
The green beam and IR beam are designed for synchronous adjustment, ensuring precise alignment. Once adjusted, no further individual adjustments are typically needed for each beam.
- Mount the GL15 securely.
- Activate the green beam (refer to Operating Modes section).
- Use the provided zeroing coin or a flat-head tool to adjust the windage and elevation screws. These screws are typically located on the side and top of the unit.
- Adjust until the green beam is aligned with your point of aim. The IR beam will adjust simultaneously.
Video: This video demonstrates the co-axial zeroing process for the RovyVon GL15. It shows how to adjust the windage and elevation screws to align the visible green beam, which simultaneously adjusts the IR beam for precise targeting.

Operating Instructions
1. Mode Selection
The GL15 features a rotary switch for selecting between six tactical modes. Rotate the dial to select the desired mode:
- Mode 1: White Light (400lm)
- Mode 2: Green Beam
- Mode 3: White Light + Green Beam
- Mode 4: IR Light + IR Beam
- Mode 5: IR Beam
- Mode 6: IR Light
Note: A green indicator light will illuminate when switching to IR modes (Mode 4, 5, 6).

2. Using the GS15 Remote Switch
The GS15 remote switch provides convenient control over the GL15's functions.
- Momentary Mode: Click and hold the normal button (lower button) for momentary activation of the selected mode. Release to turn off.
- Constant On: Double-click the normal button (lower button) for constant activation of the selected mode. Double-click again to turn off.
- Override Function: Press the override button (upper button) to simultaneously activate both the white light and the green beam, regardless of the current mode selected on the rotary switch. This function is active in any mode except Mode 0 (off) and Mode 4 (IR Light + IR Beam).
