UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE shall attempts be made to disassemble or service this product. All service is to be performed by the manufacturer or their authorized agent.

Assemby and Operation :

1. To assemble, unscrew end cap. Insert two 1.5-volt alkaline AA batteries as shown in the diagram above and then screw on end cap.
2. Point the light output end (laser aperture) down for safety and continue tightening end cap until laser flare is switched on (visible through protective front cap). Remove protective cap on front end of unit and your Rescue Laser Flare®is ready for use.
3. Ensure Rescue Laser Flare® Magnum is secured so it cannot be lost.
4. SIGNALING*: Aim Rescue Laser Flare® Magnum in direction of target (aircraft, boat, vehicle, rescue party) you wish to signal. With the laser line vertical (up and down), point laser aperture toward the target. Make a "V" with your outstretched hand over the intended target. With the laser held near your eye in line of sight, very slowly scan the vertical laser back and forth between your fingers toward the target (five degrees or slower per second) making each finger green as you scan.

   IMPORTANT: ALWAYS POINT THE LASER OUTPUT END (LASER APERTURE) AWAY FROM YOUR EYES.

   HOW TO AIM

   Signaling Point the laser output end (laser aperture) toward the target. Make a "V" with your outstretched hand over the intended target. With the laser held near your eye in line of sight, slowly scan the vertical laser back and forth between your fingers toward the target, making each finger red as you scan.	Detecting When looking for any retro-reflective materials, point the laser output end (laser aperture) toward the object you are scanning and hold the laser near your line of sight to see the return flash from the object.

5. Keep signaling until you have positive contact with your rescuers or target and they are able to see you without the use of a signaling device.
6. DETECTING: When looking for reflective materials, point the laser aperture toward the object you are scanning and hold the laser near your line of sight to see the return flash from the object.
7. To turn Rescue Laser Flare® off, point the light output end (laser aperture) down for safety then unscrew black end cap until the red laser is off, plus one more turn. Replace protective front cap to keep lens clean.

* Signals up to 20 miles away. Testing conducted with the naked eye, ground to air and ship to ship on a clear moonless night with no background or environmental lighting. The effectiveness of any signaling device may be compromised by actual environmental conditions.

Additional Survival Suggestions:

• When using any signaling device, ensure you are in an open area, clear of all obstructions that would hinder others from seeing you.
• Consider wearing bright colored clothing or altering your location in such a manner that it appears different than your surrounding terrain. This includes arranging rocks or logs, debris, or other objects in such a manner that they appear "unnatural" from the air.
• Do not move from your location unless safety is threatened. By moving, you create a moving target for would-be rescuers that requires additional time and effort to locate.
• Survival ultimately depends on your ability and training in using what is available to you in any given situation. The Greatland Laser product you have purchased will greatly aid you in signaling others for help if it has been properly maintained. The Rescue Laser Flare® Magnum can be an integral part of your complete survival system.

Troubleshooting

Battery Replacement and Maintanance:

Battery replacement and exterior cleaning are the only maintenance required. There are no user serviceable components inside the device. Attempting to gain access to the laser components will void the warranty. Turn laser off before changing batteries or cleaning.

The Rescue Laser Flare® Magnum operates on two 1.5-volt alkaline AA batteries. To replace the batteries, turn Laser off, unscrew end cap and remove batteries. Insert two fresh batteries POSITIVE end UP as shown in the diagram above then screw on end cap. Tighten end cap until laser light is switched on (visible through protective front cap), then unscrew until light is off, plus one more turn. For optimum performance, the batteries in your Rescue Laser Flare® Magnum should be replaced at least once every year.
