Deployment
The landmine is reported to have a functional life of 10 days and can be expected to be with an auxiliary explosive charge.
Arming

To arm the landmine the arming pin is removed, starting the arming delay which runs for 60-70 seconds. At the end of this time, electrical circuits are closed and power is applied to the landmine. The anti-removal circuit is also activated.
Radio Device
It is used in conjunction with a PD-420 radio control device or with a VZD-144Ch timer.
Batteries
The batteries, MD-5M detonator and the explosive charge are now installed and the landmine is ready for arming.
