LASER SAFETY
A laser produces a very narrow beam of light, which may cause physical harm to a human being.
Subsequently, all lasers are regulated by the Federal Government. Lasers are classified by the intensity of the
light they emit. Operational safety requirements are set by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and the
Center for Devices & Radiological Health (CDRH) in accordance with the potential hazard to the user.
Always follow the following guidelines:
1. Never look directly into the laser beam or stare at it at close range.
2. Never shine the laser in a person’s eye at close range.
3. Do not direct the beam at anyone operating a vehicle, boat, or aircraft, as the beam appears very bright
(especially at night) in a person’s eyes, even at great distances.
4. Be aware that beam can be reflected off of mirrors or shiny surfaces.
5. Use the laser sight only for its intended purpose.

MOMENTARY & CONSTANT ON OPERATION
For momentary-on light operation, press and hold either the
right or left side of tailcap toggle switch; release to turn light off.
For constant-on operation, rotate tailcap toggle switch up or
down; rotate to turn light off.
REMOTE SWITCH INSTALLATION (OPTIONAL)
1. Use a 5/64” hex wrench to remove plate cover. Store for future use.
2. Align remote pistol switch pin contacts with contact
pads and screw holes on top of the weaponlight body.
3. Replace socket head screws into holes and screw into
body using a 5/64” hex wrench.
Tactical Modes are not eye safe and can lead to vision impairment.
Note: A low-signature green LED (Figure 1) will illuminate when either
infrared emitter is activated. When illuminated the LED provides a visual
indicator to determine if the infrared LED and/or laser have been left on
and when night vision is not available to detect any infrared emissions.
SAFETY SCREW
Note: If a torque wrench is not available use the supplied
5/64” hex key and hand tighten with light pressure until
the screw stops rotating.
INSTALLING AND INTERCHANGING THE CROSS BLOCK OR T-SLOT RAIL
WITH INTEGRATED CROSS BLOCK
1. Loosen Rail-Adjustment Bolt by turning counterclockwise until Cross Block is fully exposed.
2. Remove Cross Block by lifting it out.
3. Place Cross Block into slot ensuring that the “P” or “U” letter on front edge of Cross Block is
facing forward (toward bezel).
4. Push Cross Block all the way forward and, while holding Cross Block in place, tighten Rail-Adjustment
Bolt by turning clockwise until T-Slot Rail overlaps Cross Block, locking it securely in place.

CROSS BLOCK
Figure 1.
Note: The Picatinny or Universal Cross Blocks are not
necessary when installing the M17/P320 T-Slot Rail.
Store standard T-Slot, Picatinny and Universal
Cross Blocks for future use.
SIG SAUER P320 INSTALLATION
1. Using the supplied 7/64” hex key,
loosen Rail-Adjustment Bolt by turning
counterclockwise until T-Slot Rail is
removed completely from weapon light.
2. Remove the Rail Adjustment Bolt and
Lock Washer from the T-Slot Rail.
3. Install Rail Adjustment Bolt and Lock Washer into
M17/P320 T-Slot Rail (Figure 1), align with T-slot cut
in body and rotate Rail Adjustment Bolt with supplied
7/64” hex key clockwise until it engages in body.
ATTACHING TO HOST WEAPON RAIL
1. Using the supplied 7/64” hex key, adjust gap between stationary and T-Slot Rail by turning
Rail-Adjustment Bolt clockwise or counterclockwise until gap is sufficiently wide to fit over
weapon accessory rail.
2. Align Fixed Rail with weapon’s accessory rail and hinge XVL2-IRC over the cross slot of host weapon
3. Mate Cross Block with corresponding cross slot in weapon’s accessory rail.
4. Secure by turning Rail-Adjustment Bolt clockwise until the XVL2-IRC fits snugly onto host weapon rail.
Using a torque wrench and a 7/64” hex key, tighten to 8 in-lb onto a polymer pistol rail and to 8-9 in-lb
on a metal pistol rail. Do NOT overtighten! The Rail Adjustment Bolt will break if excessive force is
applied with a tool.
Note: If a torque wrench is not available, use the supplied 7/64” hex key
and hand tighten with light pressure until the screw stops rotating.
Note: The appropriate Cross Block MUST be installed to attach XVL2 to host weapon rail. Some pistols with a MIL-STD-1913
rail may require the Universal Cross Block to properly interface with the location of the front trigger guard surface. For Sig
Sauer M17/P320, use only supplied T-Slot Rail with integrated Cross Block with no additional Cross Block.
1. While aiming with host weapon sights at the desired range, determine which direction(s) laser needs to
be adjusted for green dot’s position to match weapon’s point of impact (POI).
2. Make the necessary adjustments using a common tool to adjust the Windage and Elevation knobs per
instructions below, based on mounting position (from shooter’s perspective) and visible or infrared
laser dot’s relation to weapon’s point of impact (POI).
Note: Each click value for the Windage and Elevation knobs is 1 mil. If gross adjustment is required to zero the laser,
alternate between adjustment knobs while making incremental adjustments to prevent the laser module from binding.
Excessive tightening of the adjustment knobs can cause damage to the laser assembly.
If mounted at 6 o’clock position and POI is…
a. …left of point of aim, rotate Windage knob clockwise (CW).
b. …right of point of aim, rotate Windage knob counterclockwise (CCW).
c. …above point of aim, rotate Elevation knob counterclockwise (CCW).
d. …below point of aim, rotate Elevation knob clockwise (CW).
If mounted at 3 o’clock position (long guns only) and POI is…
a. …left of point of aim, rotate Elevation knob counterclockwise (CCW).
b. …right of point of aim, rotate Elevation knob clockwise (CW).
c. …above point of aim, rotate Windage knob counterclockwise (CCW).
d. …below point of aim, rotate Windage knob clockwise (CW).
If mounted at 9 o’clock position (long guns only) and POI is…
a. …left of point of aim, rotate Elevation knob clockwise (CW).
b. …right of point of aim, rotate Elevation knob counterclockwise (CCW).
c. …above point of aim, rotate Windage knob clockwise (CW).
d. …below point of aim, rotate Windage knob counterclockwise (CCW).
Note: SureFire recommends zeroing the laser sight at 25 yards, against a target, to coincide with point-of-aim of
the host weapon’s factory sights. Any discrepancy in point-of-aim (POA) versus point-of-impact (POI) at target
distances between 10 and 25 yards is negligible. Laser sight may require re-zeroing after the first 10-50 rounds,
as the adjustment apparatus may settle into position.
Laser should be zeroed every time XVL2 is reattached to host weapon.
BATTERY INSTALLATION / REPLACEMENT
1. Rotate by hand and align indicator dot with unlock symbol and gently pull forward on the LED Module.
2. Remove and appropriately discard depleted battery.
3. Insert fresh battery into the body with the positive (+) terminal facing forward as shown.
4. Align indicator dot on head with unlock symbol.
5. Insert LED Module into body and rotate by hand until dot is aligned with the lock indicator.
MAINTENANCE
Use supplied microfiber cloth to wipe away dirt and debris from the LED windows and laser lenses.
If the microfiber cloth is not available, use a clean soft tissue or cloth towel.
To remove more stubborn debris, spray affected area using supplied cleaning solution and let it sit for
10 seconds. A soft, nylon bristle brush can be used to break up the debris. Wipe debris away with a clean
soft tissue or cloth towel.
Always rinse XVL2 off with fresh water after being exposed to salt water or if exposed to salt spray.
Salt build up will affect the sealing mechanisms potentially causing water ingress failure.
Avoid using petroleum based cleaning products to prevent damage to seals and O-rings.
ALWAYS confirm weapon is unloaded and on SAFE before attempting installation, service or adjustment of the XVL2-IRC.
