Installing the Handle or Handstrap

The Falcon 4420 comes from the factory with the handle installed. The Falcon 4410 comes with a handstrap. These can be exchanged with a change-out kit. The handle is removable and can be replaced with a handstrap. When you replace the handle with the handstrap, you lose the ability to press the trigger on the handle and must use the <Scan> key on the Falcon keypad instead.

To remove the handle and replace it with the handstrap refer to the following sections. Reverse the same directions to replace the handstrap with the handle.
