MOUNTING THE VMX-3T MAGNIFIER<\/h2>\n

Attach VMX-3T to Flip Mount<\/h3>\n

Using the included screws, attach theVMX-3T magnifier to the Flip Mount. Ocular lens and Release Button should face shooter.<\/p>\n

Mount height options<\/h3>\n

With the included flip mount and shim, there are two options for mounting the VMX-3T:<\/p>\n

Absolute Co-Witness Height with Flip Mount<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Lower 1\/3 Co-Witness Height with Flip Mount and Shim Plate<\/strong><\/p>\n

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<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

VMX-3T ADJUSTMENTS<\/h2>\n

Center the red dot image<\/h3>\n

The VMX-3T is easy to use and does not require any special sight-in\u2014just zero-in the red dot as normal and add the VMX3T behind for additional 3x magnification.<\/p>\n

The dot-centering screws can be used to help center the red dot in the VMX-3T\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n

Adjust the focus<\/h3>\n

Use the focus knob to achieve a sharp image. Turn the focus dial clockwise or counter-clockwise until image is as sharp as possible.<\/p>\n
