SWITCHING ON/OFF
SWITCHING ON
Attach the chip (8) to the simulator body and move it from right to left. This will switch simulator ON
and the LED (9) will flash. The number of flashes indicates the battery status:
• 5 flashes – the battery is 100% full
• 4 flashes – the battery is at 75% charge level
• 3 flashes – the battery is at 50% charge level
• 2 flashes – the battery is at 25% charge level
• 1 flash – the battery is discharged, replace it.
After the battery test, the LED light remains constantly blue to indicate the laser is on and ready for
use.
The LED flashing continuously blue means the battery is discharged and it should be immediately
replaced.
SWITCHING OFF
The laser container will switch off approximately 20 minutes after the last shot. In case you need to
switch it off immediately, remove the battery from the simulator body.

SETTINGS
The user can only set or maintain the following:
• set the simulator sights (the laser dot)
• set the trigger position, weight and travel
• set the grip angle
• change the battery
• change the simulator stock
It is forbidden to open or modify the laser simulator, with the exception of changing the battery
or grip. The Laser beam parameters can only be changed by the manufacturer or an authorized
person. The simulator owner must confirm his consent to the change in writing. The manufacturer
does not assume responsibility for any damage that would arise from the change.
SETTING THE SIGHTS (ALIGNING THE LASER DOT)
To adjust the simulator sights, aim at awhite wall or awhite object from adistance of 10 meters
and check the alignment of the red laser dot and simulator sights. If necessary, use the adjusting
screws to align the laser dot:
• Turning the screw (10a) clockwise – laser dot moves to the right
• Turning the screw (10a) counterclockwise – laser dot moves to the left
• Turning the screw (10b) clockwise – laser dot goes downward
• Turning the screw (10b) counterclockwise – laser dot goes upward
IMPORTANT: The movement of the adjusting screws must be very small.

SETTING THE TRIGGER POSITION
After loosening the screw (A) you can change the position of the trigger forward or backward.
After loosening the screws (B) you can change the position of the trigger upwards or downwards.
SETTING THE TRIGGER WEIGHT AND TRAVEL
Second stage weight
The second stage weight is already exactly adjusted by the manufacturer and it is not recommended
to change it. In case you still need to change its setting, carry out the following:
• Turn the screw (11) counterclockwise by one turn.
• Load the simulator by means of the lever.
• Turn the screw (11) very slowly clockwise untill simulator shoots by itself.
• Turn the screw (11) counterclockwise by one ¼ turn.
By this, the second stage weight is set. Check the correct function by few shots.
First stage weight
Turning the screw (12) clockwise increases the first stage trigger weight. Turning the screw (12)
counterclockwise reduces the first stage trigger weight.
First stage travel weight
Turning the screw (13) clockwise increases the first stage travel weight. Turning the screw (13)
counterclockwise reduces the first stage travel weight.

First stage travel
Turning the screw (14) clockwise reduce the first stage travel. Turning the screw counterclockwise
(14) increases the first stage travel.
SETTING THE GRIP ANGLE
Use the supplied hexagonal key to loosen the small screw on the simulator grip bottom. Set anew
position of the grip and fix it by tightening the small screw.

BATERRY REPLACEMENT
When the LED indicator flashes once or is constantly flashing, replace the battery.
• Unscrew the battery cover (A) from the simulator body (B).
• Remove the discharged battery using the ribbon (C) and insert a new one (AAA 1,5V).
Pay attention to the correct polarity of battery!
• Reinstall the cover (A).

SAFE USAGE
BEFORE USAGE
• The simulator must be used in accordance with these Instructions only. Never use the simulator
for purposes other than those for which it is designed. Failure to follow these instructions may
expose the user to dangerous laser radiation.
• Do not break the security stamp, otherwise you will lose the warranty on the product.
• Use alkaline AAA batteries only. However, never use rechargeable AAA batteries.
• When in public, carry the simulator in its original case or in abag. Persons not familiar with this
type of simulators may mistake it for aregular weapon and alarm the police.
DURING USAGE
• Never aim at people, animals or uncontrolled areas.
• While handling the simulator, observe the general rules for manipulation with areal weapon.
• Do not look into the laser beam directly or through any optical device.
LASER RADIATION
DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY INTO THE LASER BEAM!
CLASS I. LASER DEVICE
AFTER USAGE
• After use, store the simulator in its original case.
• Protect the simulator against direct sunlight and rain in accordance with the UIPM Rules.
WARNING!
Failure to follow the above stated instructions may expose the user to dangerous laser radiation.
TROUBLESHOOTING
The laser beam trace is barely visible or
not visible at all. Replace the battery.
The detector (ascanning device) does not
react to the shot.
Check the target´spower supply or replace
the battery.
The laser beam impact is evaluated
anywhere else but not where the simulator
aims.
Adjust the laser dot.
Check correct function of the target.

SAFE USAGE
Keep the emitters clean by wiping the dust out of them with adry cloth. Never use any cleaning
agents, solvents or chemical preparations. Do not push the emissive hole optic with any object.
Regularly check the condition of the battery inside the simulator body to make sure it does not
corrode or leak.
If you will not be using the simulator for more than one week, you must remove the battery. Also
remove the battery before traveling by plane.
STORAGE
It is very important to store the laser simulator under the correct conditions to keep it in good,
reliable condition. Always do the following:
• Before storing the simulator for an extended time, always remove the battery. This prevents
internal damage to the simulator if the battery leaks.
• Store the simulator in the original packaging (case) in adry, dark place out of reach of children.
• Do not place any heavy objects on the case, or items that may leak fluids.
• Protect the simulator from weather, including frost and moisture. The optimal storage
temperature is between +5 and +30° C. The storage location’sair humidity must not exceed
60%. Do not store the simulator in adamp environment where there is high risk of corrosion.
SPARE PARTS
The following replacement parts are available for the simulator:
• front sights
• rear sights
• stock
• plumb
• trigger
Order replacement parts by e-mail from [email protected] or from PENTASHOT partners
and dealers. Alist of them can be found at www.pentashot.eu.
Only the manufacturer or an authorized individual has the right to replace the simulator’smain
parts (optics and electronics, including parts of the trigger mechanism).
