3. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The following general safety precautions supplement the
specific WARNINGs, CAUTIONs and NOTEs that appear
elsewhere in this manual.
3.1 Laser Radiation
. The AN/PEQ-2A employs invisible
laser radiation in the form of Infrared (IR) Aim and
Illumination Lasers. Nominal Ocular Hazard Distances
(NOHD) for safe operation are listed in Table i-1. Exposure
to the AN/PEQ-2A’s IR lasers inside these NOHDs can
cause irreversible damage to the human eye.

The following general safety precautions apply at all times:
• 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 individual’s
eyes.
WARNING..
Laser modes designated as Safety Class 1 or 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.
3.2 Risk of Detection by Enemy
.
WARNING..
Infrared (IR) lasers 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 laser(s).
iii
3.3 Weapons Safety. The AN/PEQ-2A is designed to be
used with destructive weapon systems. Improper operation
or misuse of the device 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..
Remove the AN/PEQ-2A from the weapon before
inspecting, cleaning, or performing other
maintenance functions.
CAUTION..
Use of acetone or gun cleaning agents containing
perchloroethylene or methylene chloride may
permanently damage the AN/PEQ-2A system.
3.4 Batteries
batteries.
. The AN/PEQ-2A is powered by two (2) AA
WARNING..
Do not use the AN/PEQ-2A with a mix of old and
new batteries, or batteries of different brands.
CAUTION..
Do not store the AN/PEQ-2A with batteries
installed.

1.10 AN/PEQ-2A FEATURES AND CONTROLS (cont’d.)
1.10.1 Illuminator Diffuser Lens Cap
. When installed over
the IR Illuminator, spreads the laser energy over an angle
approaching 180 degrees, allowing for illumination of a wider
area. This is useful for illuminating a small room and is most
effective with the IR Illuminator Focus Knob adjusted to the
widest beam (flood) setting.
1.10.2 Infrared Illuminator / Focus Knob
. Used with night
vision devices to provide variable focused IR illumination of
the intended target area. The Illuminator Focus Knob is
rotated to vary the illumination beam spread from flood to
spot, based on the range and size of the area to be
illuminated.
1.10.3 Infrared Aim Laser
. Used with night vision devices to
provide a precision aim point or to mark targets.
1.10.4 Aim Neutral Density Lens Cap
. When placed over
the IR Aim Laser, reduces blooming effects on the target and
is useful for boresighting / zeroing.
1.10.5 Mounting Thumbscrew and Washer
. Used to attach
the AN/PEQ-2A to a wide array of mounting brackets,
bracket assemblies, and bracket adapters.
1.10.6 Fire Button
. Used to actively emit laser radiation that
corresponds with the position of the Mode Selector.
1.10.7 Illuminator Adjusters
. These adjusters can be
rotated in azimuth and elevation to bring the illumination
area over the aiming beam, and can be used to align the IR
Illuminator with the barrel of the weapon.
1-11
1.10.8 Aim Laser Adjusters. These adjusters can be rotated
to simultaneously bring the IR Aim Laser into azimuth and
elevation alignment with the barrel of the weapon.
1.10.9 Safety Block
. Installed with a .050 hex key in one of
two positions (Training or Tactical), to govern which laser
power settings (i.e., AIM LO, DUAL LO, AIM HI, DUAL
LO/HI, DUAL HI/HI) the Mode Selector can be turned to.
1.10.10 Mode Selector
. Allows the user to select the
desired mode of operation for the AN/PEQ-2A. When
switched to O (OFF), the AN/PEQ-2A will not emit laser
energy.
1.10.11 Battery Caps / Battery Compartments
. Provides
secure housing for the two AA batteries that power the
AN/PEQ-2A.
1.10.12 Remote Jack / Jack Plug
. Provides an interface for
the Remote Cable Switch. The AN/PEQ-2A comes with a
Remote Jack Plug installed to protect the Remote Jack from
debris and moisture.
