Important Notices

  1. Ensure the firearm is unloaded and safe by removing all ammunition and magazines from firearm and verifying an empty chamber before installation and battery replacement.
  2. Please keep the packaging should you need to make a warranty claim.

Objective Lens

A canted objective lens is part of the design of reflex/reflective optical sights. In order to create a proper reflection of the reticle/dot the objective lens must be perpendicular to the LED. Because the LED is mounted to the side of the internal tube the objective lens will be canted in that direction.

Sight Operation

Two operation modes are available: Auto mode and manual mode. See Fig 6.

  1. Power ON: Press and release either brightness button (“+”or”-“) to turn on the sight.
  2. Power OFF: Press the”+”and”-” buttons simultaneously to turn the power and motion sensor off.
  3. Operation Mode: Three modes are available in the following order: Auto Mode -> Manual Mode -> Lockout Mode.

1) Auto mode – operates with a solar cell and internal battery two-way power supply: Based upon the ambient lighting level, the sight will switch between battery and solar cell power automatically. Accommodates operation in all lighting conditions. Auto mode is the default setting.
a) In auto mode, the brightness of the reticle is automatically adjusted to match ambient lighting.
b) The battery will compensate for power if the solar cell cannot drive the reticle alone.
c) If lighting is low enough, the sight will automatically switch to battery power. While running on battery power, you can adjust the reticle brightness using the “+”and “-” buttons to switch between higher and lower brightness levels.

2) Manual mode:
a) Switch to Manual mode from Auto mode by holding the “+” button for about 3 seconds, until the reticle blinks once.
b) Brightness adjustment: There are 12 reticle brightness setting levels in manual mode. Settings 1 and 2 are NV compatible and setting 12 is the brightest. Press ”+” or ”-” to increase or decrease the brightness.

3) Lockout Mode:
Switch to Lockout mode from Manual mode by holding the “+” button for about 3 seconds, until the LED blinks once. In lockout mode, momentary presses of the “+” or “-” button will not change settings. To exit the lockout mode, press and hold the + button again for 3 seconds, the LED will blink once then switch to Auto Mode.

4. Sleep time setting:
1) Please note that your red dot will automatically enter into sleep mode after 10 minutes of no movement.
2) The sight will instantaneously wake up and turn on with any motion detected to last saved settings.
3) The default sleep timer setting is 10 min, but there 4 settings to select from.
i. Press and hold the “+” button for 10 seconds to enter sleep time adjustment mode. There are 4 options: 10 min, 1h, 12h or the sleep mode is disabled.
ii. Press and release the “+” or “-” button to select a sleeptimer setting. The LED will blink to show which setting is selected: 1=10 min, 2=1h, 3=12h, or 4=sleep mode disabled.
iii. Press the “+” and “-” buttons simultaneously to save the sleep timer setting (this will power off the sight).

5. Special operation: Solar cell power: If the battery voltage is below 2.2Vdc, please replace it. The sight will still operate if there is sufficient ambient light for the solar cell.

6. Note:
1) Memory function: The sight will remember the last saved brightness setting when powered on and off.
2) Low battery Warning: If the battery voltage is below 2.2Vdc, the reticle will blink slowly.

Zero Setting

  1. This sight has been factory adjusted to an approximate 25 yard zero and should require minimal adjustment to achieve zero.
  2. The Elevation adjustment is located on top of the tail section of the housing and the Windage adjustment is located on the right side of the housing. Adjustment can be performed by inserting the flat-tipped end of the included tool into the turret slot and rotating, See Fig 7.
  3. Windage and Elevation adjustments are approximately 1 MOA per click.
  4. Each adjustment click has a value of approximately 1 MOA or 1 inch at 100 yards (1/2″ at 50y; 1/4″ at 25y). When zeroing at 25 yard, if your impacts are 2 inches low and 1 inch right, you will need to adjust Elevation 8 clicks UP (counterclockwise) and 4 clicks LEFT (clockwise)
  5. The maximum adjustment range is ±50MOA from center.
