When zeroing the sight to a loaded M72A 1
Rocket Laun cher (one that has never been
fired) on a 25 meter range, be extremely
careful to prevent accidental firing of the
weapon .

You can tell the difference between Mercury battery, BA-1567,
and Lithium battery, BA-5567, by
the plastic sleeve. The Lithium battery has a black band around the
top and bottom of the plastic
s leeve. The Lithium batte ry may be
disposed of only in a sanitary IandtiII.
CORROSIVE CHEMICAL FI RST-AID
e
Immediately flush the eyes with water and
continue to flush for 15 minutes if corrosive
chemicals contact the eyes.
The first few seconds after contact
are critical. Immediately flushing
the eyes may prevent permanent
damage.
An eyewash fountain is preferred ,
but an eyewash hose or any other
source of water should be used in
an emergency.
Alkali (base) burns are usually
more serious than acid burns.

Strong chemicals burn the skin rapidly.
There is o time to waste. Flush the area
with water immediately. Remove and
discard clothing , socks and shoes (obtain
other clothes and shoes). Continue to flood
the area while clothing is being removed.
•
Consult warnings on the product label for
full first-aid information. Give the label information to the attending physician .
Neutralizers and solvents (alcohol , etc.)
should not be used by the first aider. The
spread of skin absorbing corrosive poison ,
like phenol, can cause death. Don't depend
on spilled chemicals to evaporate from
your clothes . Exposure to skin can kill you .

EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION
AND DATA
Description
The AN/PVS-4 (fig. 1-1) is a protable, batteryoperated electro-optical instrument used for
observation and aimed fire of weapons at night. It
amplifies reflected light such as moonlight,
starlight, and skyglow so that the viewed scene
becomes clearly visible to the operator. The sight
does not emit visible or infrared light (except from
the eye-piece) that can be detected by the enemy.
