KNOB POSITION 0 OFF OPERATION The AN/PEQ-2A will not operate REMARKS When underwater, the mode switch should be OFF to preclude water pressure on the button switch from inadvertently turning ON the unit. Low power is useful to reduce night vision device blooming of the aiming spot on close targets. It is also useful for training because the beam power meets the criteria of an eye-safe laser. Low power aiming and illuminating is useful to reduce the effects of blooming when engaging targets at close range. It is also useful for training because the beam power meets the criteria of an eye-safe laser. Hi power is useful for aiming or pointing at distant targets. The DUAL mode enables a target to be illuminated and fired upon using an aiming beam. The illuminator operates at full power in all dual modes of operation. The DUAL mode enables a target to be illuminated and fired upon using an aiming beam. The illuminator operates at full power in all dual modes of operation.

SECTION V ZEROING PROCEDURES

5.1 This section provides instructions for zeroing the AN/PEQ-2A on a 25 meter range. The instructions include procedures on how to create offset targets for use in zeroing the AN/PEQ-2A for a variety of weapons using standard 25 meter Zeroing Targets (NSN 692001-395-2949). 5.2 Zero Preset The AN/PEQ-2A incorporates a unique zero preset feature which enables the aiming and illumination beams to be nearly zeroed when the AN/PEQ-2A is initially attached to the weapon. To establish this zero preset, rotate each adjuster clockwise to its end of travel. Then rotate it back 5.5 turns and align the white dot on the adjuster with the center of the front adjuster flange (pictured below). Caution, do not overadjust.
