Auto mode operation:
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) RED: If lighting is low enough, the sight will automatically switch to the battery. While running on battery, you can adjust the reticle brightness using the “+”and “-” buttons to switch between high and low brightness levels.
GREEN: There are 8 settings from 3-10 in auto mode which have same brightness of manual mode. Press “+” or “-” to adjust the brightness and you are at setting X, the brightness will vary from X to 10 based on ambient lighting.
2) Manual Mode:
a) Hold the “+”button for 3 seconds to enter into Manual Mode. A single reticle blink confirms the change.
b) Brightness adjustment: There are 12 settings for reticle brightness levels in manual mode. Use ”+” or ”-” to increase or decrease the brightness.
c) Holding down the “-” button for will cycle between the three reticle choices (Circle-Dot -> Dot Only -> Circle Only)
3) Switching back to auto mode: Hold the “+”button for 3 seconds to switch the sight back to auto mode. A single reticle blink confirms the change.

Zero Setting
1) The sight has been mechanically zeroed at the factory.
2) The elevation adjustment is on the right side of the sight (battery side). The windage adjustment is on the left side of the housing (button side). Adjustment can be performed using the supplied tool (see Fig7).
3) 0.5 MOA Windage & Elevation adjustments, per click.
4) Each adjustment click has a value of approximately 0.5 MOA or 1/2- inch at 100 yards (1/4″ at 50y; 1/8″ at 25y). When zeroing at 50 yards, if your impacts are 2 inches low and 1 inch right, you will need to adjust Elevation 8 clicks UP (clockwise) and Windage 4 clicks LEFT (counterclockwise).
5) The maximum adjustment range is ±50MOA
Caution: If you feel the knobs can no longer be rotated, you may have reached the mechanical limit of the adjustment turret. Do not try to rotate the knobs further if you feel a bind or you may cause damage.
