Two prominent bands around the circumference identify which end?

• A. Day end
• B. Night End
• C. Front end
• D. Aft end

Answer: (B)

Two bold bands around the circumference act as a nighttime orientation cue. They mark the night end, giving you a quick, high-contrast way to identify which end is designed for use or visibility in low light. The opposite end isn’t marked in the same way, so it’s distinguished by its lack of those bands and is the end used in daylight or for other purposes. This marking helps you orient the device correctly at night, ensuring it’s deployed or read in the intended direction.
