The following general safety precautions supplement the
specific WARNINGs, CAUTIONs and NOTEs that appear
elsewhere in this manual.
WARNING
The Advanced Target Pointer Illuminator Aiming
Light (ATPIAL) emits both visible and invisible
laser radiation. Nominal Skin Hazard Distances
(NSHD) and Nominal Ocular Hazard Distances
(NOHD) for safe operation are listed in Table i-1.
Exposure to the ATPIAL’s laser beams within
these distances can cause irreversible damage to
the human eye.

WARNING
• Do not stare into the laser beams.
• Do not look into the laser beams through
binoculars or telescopes.
• Do not point the laser beams at mirror-like
surfaces.
• Do not shine the laser beams into other
individuals’ eyes.
WARNING
Laser eye protection should be provided to
maintenance personnel, laser operators, and all
personnel at risk from laser radiation. Provided
protection should be appropriate for the Optical
Densities (OD) specified in Table i-1.
WARNING
Laser modes designated as Safety Class 3R (low
power) may be used for force-on-force training
only if opposing forces are beyond the NOHD
values shown in Table i-1.
WARNING
Laser modes designated as Safety Class 3B (high
power) shall NOT be used for force-on-force
training.
WARNING
The safety screw shall be installed in the lockout
position when the ATPIAL is in storage, being
returned to the armory, or distributed to field
personnel.
iii
WARNING
IR lasers are detectable by an enemy using night
vision devices. Detection is easier in smoky,
foggy, or rainy conditions. To reduce the risk of
detection by an enemy using night vision devices,
avoid prolonged activation of the IR lasers.
WARNING
Remove the ATPIAL from the weapon before
inspecting, cleaning, or performing other
maintenance functions.
WARNING
The ATPIAL is designed to be used with
destructive weapon systems. Improper operation
or misuse of the ATPIAL with these weapon
systems could lead to personal injury or death of
either the operator or other persons within
weapons range. Safe firearms handling
procedures must be practiced at all times.
WARNING

position before attempting to install, remove, or
replace batteries.
WARNING
To prevent inadvertent activation of the laser(s),
the Mode Selector should be in the O (OFF)
position when not in use.
iv
WARNING
• Do not short circuit, puncture, disassemble,
crush, or incinerate battery.
• Do not attempt to recharge battery.
• Prior to use, inspect battery for cracks, dents,
leakage, or bulging. Never install a defective
battery in the ATPIAL.
WARNING
Lithium batteries can explode or cause burns if
disassembled, shorted, recharged, or exposed to
water, fire, or high temperatures (above 100°C or
212°F). Do not place loose batteries in a pocket
or other container containing metal objects. Do
not store batteries with hazardous or combustible
materials. Store in a cool, dry, ventilated area.
WARNING
Use of incorrect batteries poses a risk of fire or
explosion. Be aware that batteries do exist with
similar physical characteristics to the DL123A
battery, but with a different voltage and/or polarity
path. Ensure that only 3V lithium batteries with a
raised positive (+) terminal are installed in the
ATPIAL.
WARNING
Use of off-brand batteries poses a risk of fire or
explosion. Ensure that only 3V lithium batteries
produced by a well-known battery manufacturer
are installed in the ATPIAL. These batteries are
specifically designed for use in high performance,
high-drain devices, and contain built-in fault and
heat protection features.
v
WARNING
Failure to properly secure the ATPIAL to the rail
may lead to boresight repeatability and zeroing
issues. In extreme cases, the ATPIAL could fall
off the rail, thereby exposing the operator or other
personnel to the ATPIAL laser(s).
WARNING
Prior to conducting routine or periodic
maintenance on the ATPIAL, ensure the Mode
Selector is turned to the O (OFF) position.
WARNING
Isopropyl alcohol is flammable and toxic. To avoid
injury, keep away from open fire and use in a well
ventilated area.

MOUNTING
Figure 2-2. Rail Grabber Bracket.
Mounting Configurations
The ATPIAL can be mounted on either the top or side rails of
the host weapon.
Mounting Instructions
WARNING
Failure to properly secure the ATPIAL to the rail
may lead to boresight repeatability and zeroing
issues. In extreme cases, the ATPIAL could fall
off the rail, thereby exposing the operator or other
personnel to the ATPIAL laser(s).
2-3
2.3 MOUNTING PROCEDURES (Continued)
WARNING
Be sure the weapon is CLEAR and SAFE before
proceeding.
NOTE
The ATPIAL may be placed at any position
(forward and aft) on the rail that is most
convenient for the operator. However, the entire
length of the mounting surface must be fully
supported (in direct contact) by the MIL-STD-1913
rail. If the ATPIAL is removed from the rail, the
operator must make note of the position at which it
was boresighted or zeroed, and return it to that
same position in order to ensure that zero is
retained.
1. Loosen the mounting screw on the rail grabber bracket
until the jaws have sufficient space to fit over the weapon
rail.
2. Hold the ATPIAL with the laser apertures facing in the
direction of the muzzle of the weapon.
3. Position the ATPIAL on the rail ensuring the recoil lug is
seated in the desired recoil groove of the rail.
4. While pushing down and forward on the ATPIAL, turn the
mounting screw clockwise as tightly as fingers allow. Use
a screwdriver or similar tool in the slot of the mounting
screw to turn it an additional 1/2 turn.

2.5 BORESIGHTING PROCEDURES
The ATPIAL incorporates a factory preset feature that may
be used to quickly bring the co-aligned Visible and IR Aim
Lasers nearly parallel with the barrel of the host weapon.
CAUTION
Do not force the adjusters beyond their end of
travel. Forcing them will damage the adjusters or
internal components.
NOTE
To minimize laser travel as a result of weapon
shock, it is good practice to place a positive load
on the adjusters by ending all boresight adjuster
rotations with an approximate 1/2 turn in a CCW
direction.
To establish this preset, rotate both the Aim Laser boresight
adjusters to the full CCW end of travel, then rotate them
back CW three complete turns. Finally, place a positive load
on the adjusters by turning each adjuster 1/2 turn CCW.
The ATPIAL may also be boresighted to the host weapon
using a Laser Borelight System (LBS). Table 2-7 provides
10m Target Offsets for this purpose. Refer to the latest
version of the LBS Operator Manual for boresighting
procedures.

2.6 ZEROING PROCEDURES
NOTE
The boresight adjusters move the aiming beams at
the rate of approximately 0.2 mrad per click. Two
clicks = 1 box on a standard 25-meter zeroing
target.
After establishing the factory preset or boresighting the
ATPIAL / weapon combination, the ATPIAL may be zeroed
to the weapon via live fire at a 25-meter range as described
below. Table 2-7 provides target offsets that must be
applied to the 25-meter zeroing target. Refer to Tables 2-1,
2-2, and 2-3 for adjuster rotation and resultant direction of
shot group movement.
NOTE
Direct sunlight may hinder the ability of the user to
effectively see the Visible Aim Laser on the target.
1. On a 25-meter zeroing target, mark the designated strike
point and designated strike zone for the weapon being
used (see Table 2-7).
2. Mount the target on an “E” silhouette or other suitable
surface at 25 meters.
3. Mount the ATPIAL to the weapon.
4. Rotate the Mode Selector to Visible Aim Low (VIS-AL)
position.
5. Activate the Visible Aim Laser in continuous mode by
double-tapping the FIRE Button.
6. Direct the Visible Aim Laser at the center of the target.
2-14
2.6 ZEROING PROCEDURES (Continued)
7. Fire a 3-round shot group and note the center of the shot
group relative to the designated strike point. Re-tighten
the rail grabber bracket.
8. Rotate the Aim Laser adjusters to move the center of the
shot group to the designated strike point.
9. Fire another 3-round shot group and again observe the
center of the new shot group relative to the designated
strike point.
10. When 5 out of 6 consecutive rounds are in the
designated strike zone, the ATPIAL / weapon
combination is zeroed.
11. Once the aiming beams are zeroed, rotate the Mode
Selector to the DL (DUAL LOW) or DH (DUAL HIGH)
position to observe both the IR aiming and illumination
beams. Rotate the Illuminator adjusters to center the
illumination beam over the IR aiming beam.
