Troubleshooting

It's important to pay attention to correct orientation of the battery cap when installing the laser sight. Refer back to that portion of the installation manual to be sure you have installed the laser sight correctly.

In all of our Guide Rod Lasers, the batteries are located inside the tube of the laser. Depending on your model, the battery cap will either twist off, or need to be pulled off. Once off, the batteries can be accessed and changed. The battery cap is located at the end of the tube that has the gold pin in the center.

Due to the differences among the internal makeup of each firearm, the Guide Rod Laser is model specific. So the Guide Rod Laser for GLOCK is not compatible with Beretta, etc.

The Guide Rod Laser is factory aligned to hit center of mass. They are permanently aligned and cannot be adjusted. However, the Guide Rod Laser for 1911 style pistols can be adjusted for windage and elevation due to the variance between the different manufacturers of 1911 pistols. LaserMax does offer a custom alignment service. Contact our warranty office for more information.

The Guide Rod laser on the sub-compact pistol is much smaller in diameter because of the size of the factory guide rod. With the smaller tube dimension, it makes the dot size smaller and requires smaller batteries. In order to maximize the power from the batteries, the pulsating cycle is much lower which gives it the look of a dimmer beam, when actually all of our lasers are 5mW lasers and are the same brightness.

Simply follow the manufacturer's instructions for attaching the accessory to the firearm. The Uni-Max rail is identical to a Picatinny-style firearm rail.

There is approximately +/- 10 inches range of motion adjustment available.

Depending on where you mount the laser on your rifle, and your personal preference, a Momentary Activation Switch (MAS) is available as an accessory. The switch can also be used on the Uni-Green laser.

The batteries used to power the Uni-Max red laser can be readily found wherever small electronics batteries are sold. They are likely to be located wherever hearing aids, or watches are being sold. You can also purchase them directily from the LaserMax website.

There are variances in rail width and height between manufacturers of pistols. The Micro is designed to slide onto the rail from the front, but sometimes it requires snapping onto the rail by lining up one side of the rail, and snapping the other side of the rail on the opposite side into place. Once snapped onto the rail, simply insert the clamping screw and tighten until Micro grips rail firmly.

There is approximately +/- 10 inches range of motion adjustment available.

The clamping screw is currently only sold through the LaserMax website under Parts. If your laser is under warranty, contact the warranty department for further assistance.

The Genesis comes with one clamping screw. It is recommended to use the slot closest to the center of the unit to mount the product to a firearm. However, the second slot can be used on guns with longer rails. Only one clamping screw is needed to secure the Genesis.

The battery installed in the Genesis is not designed to be user-replaced. If the battery no longer keeps an acceptable charge, simply contact LaserMax customer service. We offer a battery replacement service on the Genesis for a flat fee of $75.

The Genesis is equipped with a 10 minute timeout switch in case the laser is accidentally activated and left unattended for that duration of time. To reactivate the laser, simply cycle the activation switch again.

The J-Max was designed with the activation switches located in the special recoil absorbing Santoprene grips. Replacing the grips supplied with the J-Max laser would prevent the activation of the laser, and your grips would not install since the J-Max side plate and batteries would prevent that.

There is approximately +/- 10 inches range of motion adjustment available.

There is a correct orientation of the batteries when they are installed. Check to be sure the flat side of the batteries are facing up before tightening the battery plate and replacing the grips of the J-Max.

The Sabre is currently available for the compact GLOCK (LMS-SA-GC), and for the full size GLOCK (LMS-SA-GF). The sub-compact models of GLOCK and the SF models are not compatible with these versions of Sabre.

There is approximately +/- 10 inches range of motion adjustment available.

In order to completely install the Sabre on the GLOCK frame, the LaserMax roll pin must be completely flush on both sides of the frame. Just pushing the pin through the frame does not lock it in on both sides. To be positive it's installed correctly, inspect both roll pin holes while the Sabre is on the frame and see that the pin is completely seated in the holes, and it's flush.
