MOUNTING THE VMX-3T MAGNIFIER

Attach VMX-3T to Flip Mount

Using the included screws, attach theVMX-3T magnifier to the Flip Mount. Ocular lens and Release Button should face shooter.

Mount height options

With the included flip mount and shim, there are two options for mounting the VMX-3T:

Absolute Co-Witness Height with Flip Mount

Positions the VMX-3T at 37 mm from the base surface to the center of the optic. This puts the dot height at a center (absolute) sight picture when co-witnessed with standard AR-15 iron sights. For this height, do not install the included shim plate.

Lower 1/3 Co-Witness Height with Flip Mount and Shim Plate

Positions the VMX-3T at 40 mm from the base surface to the center of the optic. This puts the dot height at a lower 1/3 sight picture when co-witnessed with standard AR-15 iron sights. For this height, install the included shim plate between the VMX-3T and the Flip Mount

VMX-3T ADJUSTMENTS

Center the red dot image

The VMX-3T is easy to use and does not require any special sight-in—just zero-in the red dot as normal and add the VMX3T behind for additional 3x magnification.

The dot-centering screws can be used to help center the red dot in the VMX-3T’s field of view. After the VMX-3T is mounted in front of red dot scope, the dot may seem off-centered while viewing through the VMX-3T. This will not affect the point-ofimpact. If desired, the centering screws can be used to move the dot up/down or left/right until the dot is more centered. Do not force screws once resistance is felt and the end-of-travel range has been reached.

Note: Perfectly centering the red dot in the VMX-3T is not required for accuracy. Once the primary red dot optic has been sighted in using its own adjustments, the adjustments done to the VMX-3T using the centering screws will not affect the point-of-impact.

Adjust the focus

Use the focus knob to achieve a sharp image. Turn the focus dial clockwise or counter-clockwise until image is as sharp as possible.

MAINTENANCE

Keep lenses clean

For the best viewing, regularly clean the exterior lenses:

Remove any dust or grit from the lens before wiping. Use a can of pressurized air, soft camel hair brush or an acrylic optical brush.
Clear lenses of smudges, fingerprints or eyelash oil. Fog the lens with your breath, then use a non-abrasive lens cloth* to clean the lens.

Note: *Never use facial tissue, heavy cotton, or flannel fabric—these materials can scratch the surface of a lens. Use lens cleaning fluid and optical tissue or cloth to clean lenses.

Lubrication

All components of the VMX-3T are permanently lubricated, so no additional lubricant should be applied.

Storage

If possible, avoid long term storage of the VMX-3T exposed to direct sunlight or any very hot location. Over time, prolonged high temperatures can adversely affect internal lubricants.
