General Information
TRITIUM FAILURE INSPECTION
Refer to the PREPARATION FOR USE section for the
procedure to follow to determine if the tritium lamp in this
Trijicon
®
product is working correctly.
WARNING
Before installing the optic on a firearm, ensure the firearm is UNLOADED.
RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS
This Trijicon
®
product contains radioactive material for low
light/no light illumination. The radiation source is hydrogen-3
(3H), commonly known as tritium. Tritium is an odorless,
tasteless, colorless gas that reacts to the human body in the
same manner as natural hydrogen. The human body does not
easily retain hydrogen or tritium as a gas. However, the oxide,
HTO, which is formed by the burning of tritium, is 10,000 times
more hazardous. For this reason, great care should be taken
to avoid flame in the presence of a Trijicon optic with a tritium
lamp which is broken or is suspected of leaking. If the tritium
lamp in the Trijicon product is crushed or severely damaged
to the extent that the tritium lamp inside might be damaged,
follow safety procedures on next page. This Trijicon product is
regulated under an EXEMPT LICENSE from the United States
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) held by Trijicon, Inc.
As per the license agreement, disassembly of the scope is
prohibited except by Trijicon, Inc.
HANDLING A DAMAGED PRODUCT
DO NOT handle a damaged unit if you have open skin cuts or
abrasions (use gloves). If the tritium lamp in a Trijicon
®
product
is broken or suspected of being broken, work in a well ventilated
area and avoid inhaling air near the unit. Place the unit in a sealed
plastic bag and contact Trijicon’s Customer Service Department
(see CONTACT information on page 51). Immediately following
contact with the unit, wash your hands with soap and water.
WARNING
DO NOT eat, drink, smoke, or apply cosmetics in the
presence of a damaged Trijicon
®
product.
CAUTION
DO NOT allow harsh organic chemicals such as acetone,
trichloroethane, or other cleaning solvents to come in
contact with this Trijicon
®
product. They will affect the
appearance, but not the performance.
CAUTION
When mounting this Trijicon
®
product onto the rail of a
firearm, do not tighten the mount screws beyond the
recommended torque setting provided by the mount
manufacturer. Damage may occur to the optic and/or zero
retention may be negatively affected.
