CAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
1. Prior to the operation of any firearm in conjunction with the XT-120 make sure that you completely understand all safety precautions and procedures contained in the XT-120 operator’s manual as well as in the manual for your firearm. Failure to follow these precautions may result in damage to property, serious injury or death.
2. Always follow proper safety precautions with any firearm whether or not equipped with the XT-120.
3. Never point a firearm at anything you do not intend to shoot whether or not equipped with the XT-120.
4. When the XT-120 is attached to a firearm, pointing the XT-120 at a person or object will automatically also point the firearm at that person or object. Therefore, never point the XT-120 at anything you do not intend to shoot. The XT-120 produces adequate light levels to illuminate a subject without the
1
Page 4
need to point directly at the subject. Light from the XT-120 can be safely pointed at a wall, ceiling or floor and the resulting reflected light will be sufficient to identify the object of interest. The XT-120’s light beam can also be adjusted for wide-angle illumination.
5. The XT-120 allows you to operate the ON/OFF switch while your finger is outside the trigger guard. Do not insert your finger inside the trigger guard until prepared to fire the weapon.
6. Before attaching or detaching the XT-120, always make certain the the chamber of your firearm is empty by following the “clearing” procedure detailed in your firearm’s operator’s manual.
7. Before cleaning the XT-120, replacing bulbs or batteries or any other maintenance, remove the XT-120 from the firearm.

8. Do not operate the XT-120 around any flammable or combustible material such as cleaning solvents, paints or gasoline. Do not operate the XT-120 in an environment which may contain flammable gasses such as evapo­rated gasoline.
9. Test the XT-120 periodically, especially after periods of non-use or prior to employment to verify that it is operating properly.
10. The XT-120 requires completely charged batteries for proper operation. Be careful when handling batteries to prevent leakage of harmful chemicals which can damage skin, clothing or the XT-120 itself. To avoid injury, do not expose batteries to excessive heat or allow any material leaked from a battery to come in contact with eyes or skin. Follow instructions from the battery manufacturer regarding the proper handling, storage and disposal of batteries.
11. CAUTION: The bulb in the XT-120 generates intense heat. When switched ON, never place the light on its face (bulb down) or you may cause damage to the XT-120 or the surface on which it is placed.

5. While aiming through the weapon’s iron sights, adjust the visible aim point of the XT-120 with the provided adjusting (hex) tool until the aiming point of the beam is superimposed over the firearms’s iron sight aiming point (see diagram).
6. Fire three rounds into the center of the target aiming point at 25 meters.
7. Compare the impact point of the shot group with the beam’s aiming point.
8. Make additional adjustments as necessary until the beam coincides with your point of impact.

5. Place the bottom lip of the backplate into the bottom groove of the battery compartment and pivot upward until the tab engages into the retaining slot with an audible “click.”
6. Ensure proper functioning by manipulating the mode selection switch and rocker switch to make sure that the light turns “ON.” If not, make sure that the backplate is installed properly and if the light still does not operate, remove the backplate and make sure that the batteries are installed correctly.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
Make sure the weapon has been “cleared” and on SAFE before mounting or dismounting the XT-120 by following the instruction manual for your firearm. Allow bulb assembly to completely cool before servicing.
1. Clean the XT-120 with mild, soapy water and rinse thoroughly with clean water to eliminate residue. Dry with a soft cloth. Clean anytime after the XT-120 becomes dirty or after exposure to salt water.
2. Clean the aiming and illumination beam windows by wiping with a soft cloth moistened with clean water, alcohol or window cleaner. To facilitate clean-up of the flashlight lens, rub a small amount of oil or lubricating solvent on the exterior lens ONLY prior to shooting.
3. Clean the electrical contacts with cotton swabs dipped in alcohol. For heavier build-up, use a pencil eraser.
4. For replacement bulbs (Part #626080), contact your dealer or contact Burris for the location of your nearest distributor.
