3.Intended use
GLS 17 laser simulator is designed for use within instructional courses, trainings or modern
pentathlon competitions. The GLS 17 laser simulator employs the FLP20 laser module with a

15.6 ms UIPM code as an emitter. The simulator is designed for laser beam shooting initiated
by a trigger.
4. Pistol settings
User options to maintain or set the simulator: change the battery, change the gun stock, set
the trigger position.
Laser beam parameters can only be changed by the manufacturer or an authorized person.

LED (9) should flash blue should sound. The number of flashes indicate 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 empty, change it.
•The LED flashing continuously blue means the battery is empty and the battery
should be changed immediately.

The laser container will switch off approx. 20 minutes after the last shot.
GLS17 laser simulator setting – laser dot setting
Check zeroing with a shot on a white wall from a distance of 10 meters. You should see a red
dot impact. Use the adjusting screws to set the laser dot:
•Turning the screw (10a) clockwise – laser dot goes to the left
•Turning the screw (10a) counterclockwise – laser dot goes to the right

•Turning the screw (10b) clockwise – laser dot goes upward
•Turning the screw (10b) counterclockwise – laser dot goes downward

IMPORTANT: The movement of the adjustment screws must be very low! One
turn of the adjustment screw moves the laser dot by approx 20 cm at a 10m
distance.
GLS17 laser simulator setting - Battery change
Change the battery when the LED indicator flashes once.
Remove the battery cover (A) from the pistol body (B).
Remove the empty battery using the ribbon and insert a new one (AAA 1,5V). Pay attention
