WARNING: THE SAFEST PROTECTION AGAINST ACCIDENTS INVOLVING CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF 18 OR OTHER UNTRAINED, UNAUTHORIZED USERS IS TO STORE YOUR FIREARM UNLOADED AND LOCKED, WITH THE AMMUNITION IN A SEPARATE, LOCKED CONTAINER. WARNING: A LOCK CANNOT REDUCE THE CHANCE OF UNAUTHORIZED USE IF THE KEY IS AVAILABLE TO CHILDREN OR OTHER UNAUTHORIZED PERSONS. KEEP ALL KEYS ON YOUR PERSON OR IN SOME OTHER LOCKED, INACCESSIBLE LOCATION. Safety: (Fig. 1-A) The U22 NEOS features a manual ambidextrous safety that can be engaged either with the pistol in the cocked (ready to fire) or uncocked condition. To engage the safety, push the manual safety lever all the way downward to hide the red indicator mark. (Fig. 4) The visible red mark indicates that the safety is disengaged and ready to fire. (Fig. 5) The safety lever also acts as a tactile indicator, letting the user know by feel that the safety is engaged. Easy Loaded Chamber Inspection: With the pistol uncocked and the safety engaged, the slide can be opened slightly to allow the user to check if there is a round in the chamber. (Fig. 3) Cocked firing pin indicator: (Fig. 1-B) Is located in the rear of the receiver. When the indicator is visible (flush with the rear surface of the receiver) the firing pin is cocked (ready to fire). (Fig. 6) If the trigger is pulled and there is a round in the chamber, the pistol will fire. If the indicator is not visible (recessed into the rear of the receiver), the pistol is not cocked (not ready to fire). (Fig. 7) 15
