TM 55-1680-316-10
Do not use a twisting motion on the pull ring,
because it may tear oft the pull tab, causing a
defective signal.
Use smoke only when rescue aircraft are clearly in
sight. In a combat situation, use smoke only as
directed by the rescue aircraft.
NOTE
Do not discard a smoke and illumination signal until
both ends have been used. The smoke end of the
signal device will burn and give off light if activated by
a flame.
d.
Make a steady, straight horizontal pull until the pull
ring and tab separate from the signal. Continue pulling upwards
until a full arm's length is reached. Point the activated signal end
upward at a 45° angle. Hold the signal down wind, until it burns
out.
