Installation
Installing Crossmember
To attach the XR2 to a Picatinny rail, the Universal crossmember must first be removed and the included Picatinny crossmember (marked "P") must be correctly installed as follows:
- To remove the crossmember, insert a small flat-head screwdriver or the rim of a fired brass casing into the opening on the back side of the crossmember and lift it out. Store for future use. (Refer to diagram description for Figure 1).
- Insert the correct crossmember into the vacated crossmember slot.
NOTE: If installing onto a SIG SAUER P320 series pistol, insert the "S" crossmember.
Diagram Description (Figure 1): Illustrates crossmember installation. Shows removal of the existing crossmember using a tool and insertion of the new Picatinny or SIG SAUER P320 specific crossmember.
Mounting XR2 to Host Firearm
Note: The appropriate crossmember MUST be installed ("U" for Universal rails; "P" for Picatinny rails) to attach the XR2 to a weapon's accessory rail. Some pistols with a MIL-STD-1913 rail may require the Universal crossmember to properly interface with the location of the front trigger guard surface.
- Loosen the rail adjustment bolt, press the head of the bolt into the XR2 body, which will create a wide enough gap between the rail guides to fit over the weapon accessory rail.
- Align the fixed rail with the weapon's accessory rail and hinge the XR2 over the cross slot of the host weapon.
- Mate the crossmember with the corresponding slot in the weapon's accessory rail.
- Secure by turning the Rail Adjustment bolt clockwise.
Using a torque wrench, tighten to 6 in-lb when mounting to a polymer rail, and 8-9 in-lb when mounting to a metal rail. If a torque wrench is not available, tighten until snug and then apply an additional 1/4 turn. Do NOT overtighten! The bolt will break if excessive force is applied with a tool.
Diagram Description (Figure 1 continued): Shows the rail adjustment bolt being tightened to secure the XR2 to the weapon's accessory rail.
Battery Installation & Removal
Position the B13 battery below the XR2 and insert until it clicks into place. To remove, press the battery latch lock forward towards the direction of the beam and pull the battery down out of the XR2. (Refer to diagram description for Figure 2).
WARNING: Use of substandard batteries can cause injury or property damage. Visit www.surefire.com/batterysafety.
Diagram Description (Figure 2): Shows battery insertion and removal. The B13 battery is shown being inserted into the XR2 until it clicks. To remove, the battery latch lock is pressed forward, and the battery is pulled down.
Body Fuel Gauge
The Fuel Gauge LED on the back of the XR2 body illuminates when the light, laser, and light+laser modes are activated. The state of charge is indicated below:
- Blinking RED: 0-20%
- Solid RED: 21-50%
- Solid YELLOW: 51-80%
- Solid GREEN: 81-100%
(Refer to diagram description for Figure 3).
Light & Laser Operation
Mode Selection
On the shooter's left-hand side of the XR2, there is a three-position mode selector switch, which allows for laser only, white light only, and laser and light activation. Rotate the mode selector for desired output settings. (Refer to diagram description for Figure 4).
Activating the XR2
Momentary-on activation: Press and hold either toggle switch for more than 0.5 seconds or as long as needed to momentarily activate the XR2. Release to turn off. (Refer to diagram description for Figure 3).
Constant-on activation with toggle switches: The XR2 is programmed for constant-on activation by a quick tap and release action via either toggle switch. (Refer to diagram description for Figure 3).
NOTE: The light will not activate when these rear switches are pushed upward or side-to-side. This intentional design feature minimizes unintended activation when drawing or holstering.
Diagram Description (Figure 3): Shows the rear toggle switches. Text indicates 'Press Down to Activate Momentary-On' and 'Quickly Tap and Release to Activate Constant-On'.
Diagram Description (Figure 4): Shows the XR2's mode selector switch and laser adjustment screws. The mode selector allows for laser only, white light only, or laser and light activation. Adjustment screws are labeled 'Windage Adjustment Screw' and 'Elevation Adjustment Screw'.
Battery Charging
The B13 battery needs to be removed from the XR2 and placed into the CH22 battery charger to charge.
How to Charge the Battery
- Insert the MICRO-USB cable plug into the CH22 battery charger.
- Insert the USB cable plug into a power source.
- Insert the B13 battery into the CH22 charger. (Refer to diagram description for Figure 5).
CH22 Charger Fuel Gauge LEDs
The B13 battery pack has LEDs on the top of the pack which are not visible when the pack is inserted into the charger. There are 3 LEDs on the face of the charger. The center LED illuminates solid RED, indicating power is active. The right and left LEDs beneath each cradle position indicate its state of charge WHILE CHARGING. Once power is present, the state of charge is indicated below:
- Solid RED: 0-25%
- Solid YELLOW: 26-75%
- Solid GREEN: 76-95%
- Blinking GREEN: 96-100%
NOTE: The three fuel gauge LEDs on the top of the battery will illuminate according to the chart above while charging or when the battery status button is pressed. The battery pack can remain in the charger indefinitely. Once the battery capacity drops 2%, the charger will begin charging to full capacity.
Diagram Description (Figure 5): Shows the CH22 battery charger. Labels include 'Rail Adjustment Bolt', 'Stationary Rail', 'Charge Status LED', and 'Power Supply LED'.
Zeroing/Adjusting the XR2 Laser
SureFire recommends zeroing the laser sight at a distance of 25 yards, against a target, to coincide with the point-of-aim of the host weapon's factory sights. Any discrepancy in point-of-aim (POA) versus point-of-impact (POI) at target distances between 10 and 25 yards is negligible. The laser sight may require re-zeroing after the first 10-50 rounds, as the adjustment apparatus may settle into position.
- While acquiring the target with host weapon sights at the desired range, determine which direction(s) the laser needs to be adjusted for the laser dot position to match the weapon sight's point of aim.
- Make the necessary adjustments, using the included 0.050-inch Hex Wrench to tighten or loosen Windage and/or Elevation adjustment screws (refer to diagram description for Figure 4) per instructions below, based on the XR2's mounting position (from the shooter's perspective) and the laser dot's relation to the weapon's point of aim.
If the laser dot is:
- a. ...left of POA, tighten the Windage screw by turning counterclockwise.
- b. ...right of POA, loosen the Windage screw by turning clockwise.
- c. ...above POA, loosen the Elevation screw by turning clockwise.
- d. ...below POA, tighten the Elevation screw by turning counterclockwise.
- Once adjustments have been made, use the laser to sight the target from the designated range and fire several rounds, taking care to steady your aim to minimize any shooter error. Note the XR2's point-of-aim in relation to the weapon's point-of-impact and make any necessary adjustments. Retest and continue to make any adjustments until the laser's point-of-aim and the weapon's point-of-impact match.
NOTE: Laser calibration should be verified every time the XR2 is removed from the host weapon.
DANGER: LASER RADIATION - AVOID DIRECT EYE EXPOSURE. 515nm at <5mW, CLASS IIIa LASER PRODUCT. Do not view the laser beam with optical instruments (scopes, binoculars, etc.). Do not attempt to open or modify laser housing.
DANGER: LASER RADIATION - AVOID DIRECT EYE EXPOSURE. 635nm at <5mW, CLASS IIIa LASER PRODUCT. Do not view the laser beam with optical instruments (scopes, binoculars, etc.). Do not attempt to open or modify laser housing.
