PROJECTILES
Read the projectile label carefully before opening the container or using any
of its contents. Opening the container indicates the user has carefully read
the label in its entirety and accepts its provisions as the terms and
conditions under which this product is furnished. Handle PepperBall
projectiles with care and follow proper cleanup procedures. PepperBall
projectiles cause skin irritation, serious eye irritation, and may cause
serious respiratory irritation. Exposure may result in copious tears,
temporary blindness, burning sensation, and difficulty breathing. The
projectile should never be ingested.
-
In case of accidental exposure, exit the exposure area. Remove contact lenses and contaminated clothing. Flush eyes and affected areas with cool water. Do not rub or use creams, salves, lotions or oils which can trap irritant on the skin. Discard contact lenses and wash exposed clothing before reuse. If exposure or ingestion occurs, get medical advice/attention.
-
Keep all PepperBall projectiles out of the reach of children. Store in a secure location with temperatures not to exceed 150° F or below -15° F. PepperBall projectiles have a shelf life of 2 years and should be safely disposed of after this period.
EXPOSURE:
Eye Contact: Flush eyes and other contaminated areas IMMEDIATELY with large amounts of cool water, and expose to fresh air. Contact lenses should be removed by subject or qualified medical personnel and must be discarded.
Skin Contact: Wash skin with soap and water to prevent further exposure. Flush skin with large amounts of cool water to minimize the irritant effect. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. DO NOT rub contaminated areas or apply creams, salves, oils, lotions, or burn cream, which can trap irritants on the skin.
Inhalation: If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen. If high concentrations are inhaled, immediately remove subject to fresh air. Keep the person calm. If not breathing, begin artificial respiration. If breathing difficulty persists, seek medical attention.

OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS
FIRING THE MOBILE™

The Mobile is now ready to fire. Aim the Mobile at the intended target and slide the safety to the forward position. This will activate the laser. Aim the laser on the target and firmly press the red trigger straight down with your thumb until the projectile is launched. (Fig 1)
-
Replace the CO2 cartridge after firing five projectiles or any time the Mobile will be stored.
NOTE: CO2 cartridge will be pierced only at the first trigger push each time the Mobile is reloaded with a new cartridge. To ensure the Mobile is ready for defensive use, only stage with a fresh, unused CO2 cartridge. Firing multiple magazines in rapid succession may cause the launcher to freeze. If this occurs, allow the launcher to thaw to room temperature prior to continued use.
WARNING:- Never point laser directly into eyes
- Do not shoot at the head, neck, or spine
- Do not shoot Mobile at an unintended target
STORING THE MOBILE

- Secure the Mobile in a horizontal position with the trigger pointing up.
- Once secure, shoot one round from the Mobile at a target from 15 feet away. The projectile should hit within a 1.5″ square from where the laser is projecting.(Fig 1)
- If the projectile did not fit within the specified range, use the two adjustment screws at the front of the launcher to adjust the laser until it is within range. The left screw adjusts the elevation. The right screw adjusts windage.
NOTE: Adjustment is delicate and only light pressure should be applied to the adjustment screws. Attempting to force the screws past the designed limits could damage the unit.
ELEVATION ADJUSTMENT: Turn clockwise to move up — counterclockwise to move down.
WINDAGE ADJUSTMENT: Turn clockwise to shift left — counterclockwise to shift right.
