Brightness Adjustments<\/span><\/h3>\n

The SPARC AR red dot sight offers ten variable illumination<\/span>
\nsettings\u2014the lowest two settings being ultra-low for use with<\/span>
\nnight-vision equipment. Adjust the dot brightness by tapping the<\/span>
\nappropriate UP or DOWN adjustment control button.<\/span><\/p>\n

Typical Battery Life<\/span><\/h3>\n

The SPARC AR uses a AAA battery. The typical battery life<\/span>
\ndepends on the brightness intensity setting of the dot.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Vortex

Windage and Elevation Adjustments<\/span><\/h2>\n

The SPARC AR red dot incorporates elevation and windage dials with<\/span>
\naudible clicks. Each small click will move the point-of-impact one<\/span>
\nMinute of Angle (MOA). 1 MOA will closely correspond to one inch at<\/span>
\n100 yards, 1\/2 inch at 50 yards, 1\/4 inch at 25 yards, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

Example<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

At a 50 yard sight-in distance, it will take twelve clicks of the dial to<\/span>
\nmove the bullet\u2019s point-of-impact six inches.<\/span><\/p>\n

Adjust the elevation and windage settings:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Remove the dial covers. The battery cover may be used as a tool<\/span>
\nto loosen and tighten the dial covers<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Use the raised bars on the dial covers, coin or screw driver to<\/span>
\nmake the adjustments.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Turn the adjustment dial in the appropriate direction as<\/span>
\nindicated by the arrows. Move the dials in the direction you wish<\/span>
\nthe bullet\u2019s point-of-impact to change.<\/span><\/p>\n

Elevation Adjustment<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u2022 Remove the turret cap and turn the inner screw counterclockwise to adjust the bullet\u2019s point-of-impact up; turn<\/span>
\nthe inner screw clockwise to adjust bullet\u2019s point-of-impact<\/span>
\ndown.<\/span><\/p>\n

Windage Adjustment<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u2022 Remove the turret cap and turn the inner screw counterclockwise to adjust the bullet\u2019s point-of-impact to the right; turn<\/span>
\nthe inner screw clockwise to adjust windage bullet\u2019s point-ofimpact to the left.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mounting the SPARC AR<\/span><\/h3>\n

To get the best results proper mounting is essential. Although<\/span>
\nnot difficult, the correct steps must be followed. Your firearm will<\/span>
\nneed to be equipped with a Picatinny or Weaver style rail\/base. If<\/span>
\nneeded, these may be purchased at most firearms dealers. If you<\/span>
\nare unsure of your abilities, it would be best to use the services of a<\/span>
\nqualified gunsmith.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Attach the SPARC AR to the rail\/base with the adjustment<\/span>
\ncontrol buttons facing the shooter and make sure the mount<\/span>
\nis solidly seated in the base groove. In order to prevent recoil<\/span>
\ninjury, position the SPARC AR so you have at least four inches of<\/span>
\neye relief.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Be sure the base clamp is hooked around the outside of the<\/span>
\nrail\/base.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Press the SPARC AR downward and forward toward the<\/span>
\nmuzzle. Then, firmly tighten the base clamp bolt using the hex<\/span>
\nwrench.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Vortex
Vortex Sparc AR Red Dot<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Note: It is a good practice to regularly re-check all mounting screws<\/span>
\n(including spacer attachment screws) to be sure they haven\u2019t<\/span>
\nloosened under field conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mount Height Options<\/span><\/h3>\n

The SPARC AR can be mounted at two heights, lower 1\/3 cowitness and absolute co-witness. To mount it at lower 1\/3, mount<\/span>
\nthe sight as received. The optic center will be 40mm above the<\/span>
\nbase surface. To mount for absolute co-witness you can remove<\/span>
\nthe 3mm base shim. The optic center at absolute co-witness will<\/span>
\nbe 37mm above the base surface.<\/span><\/p>\n

To change the mount height, loosen and remove the four base<\/span>
\nscrews and remove the base clamp along with the 3mm shim.<\/span>
\nReinstall the base clamp with the four shorter screws supplied with<\/span>
\nyour SPARC AR.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Vortex

SIGHTING IN<\/span><\/h2>\n

Bore Sighting<\/span><\/h3>\n

After mounting, an initial bore sighting of the SPARC AR at short<\/span>
\nrange (25\u201350 yards) will save time and money at the range. This<\/span>
\ncan be done using a bore sighter according to the manufacturer\u2019s<\/span>
\ninstructions, or by removing the bolt on some rifles to visually sight<\/span>
\nthrough the barrel<\/span><\/p>\n

To visually bore sight a rifle:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Place the rifle solidly on a rest and remove the bolt.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Sight through the bore and center the target inside the barrel.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. With the bulls eye centered in the bore, make windage and<\/span>
\nelevation adjustments until the illuminated dot is also centered over<\/span>
\nthe bulls eye.<\/span><\/p>\n

Final Range Sight-In<\/span><\/h3>\n

Final sight-in should be done at the range using the exact<\/span>
\nammunition you expect to hunt or shoot with:<\/span><\/p>\n

1. After bore sighting the SPARC AR, fire a shot or two at your<\/span>
\ndesired zero distance to check that you\u2019re roughly on target. If<\/span>
\nnecessary, adjust the dot to put you near the center of the target<\/span>
\n(see Windage and Elevation Adjustment on page 6).<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Fire a three-shot group as precisely as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Using the center of this group as a reference, make any<\/span>
\nnecessary adjustments for windage and elevation correction.<\/span>
\nUsing arrows for reference, adjust dials in the direction you wish<\/span>
\nthe group to move.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Fire a final three-shot group to confirm proper adjustment.<\/span>
\nRepeat as necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n

SHOOTING WITH THE SPARC AR<\/span><\/h3>\n

The key thing to remember when shooting with the SPARC AR red<\/span>
\ndot is to keep both of your eyes open! Shooting with both eyes<\/span>
\nopen allows you to take full advantage of your peripheral vision to<\/span>
\nget on target very quickly. Eye placement is not critical. As long as<\/span>
\nyou can see the dot, you\u2019ll hit your target!<\/span>
\nNote: If using an optional magnifier for distance shooting, you may<\/span>
\nfind it easier to shoot with one eye closed due to the increased<\/span>
\nmagnification.<\/span><\/p>\n

TROUBLESHOOTING<\/span><\/h3>\n

Please check the following before returning the SPARC AR for<\/span>
\nservice.<\/span><\/p>\n

If the red dot does not illuminate:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 Is the battery dead? Replace.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Is the battery installed correctly? Be sure the battery is<\/span>
\noriented with \u201c+\u201d lettering facing inward.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Is the battery cover loose? Be sure cover is snug and contact<\/span>
\npoints are clean.<\/span><\/p>\n

If bullets are not grouping:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 Be sure all mount screws are tight. You should not be able<\/span>
\nto twist or move the SPARC AR in any direction. Many times,<\/span>
\nproblems thought to be with the scope are actually mount<\/span>
\nproblems.<\/span><\/p>\n

Note: Our Troubleshooting Guide<\/strong> is available online at http:\/\/www.<\/span>
\nvortexoptics.com\/content\/troubleshooting.<\/span><\/p>\n

MAINTENANCE<\/span><\/h2>\n

Cleaning<\/span><\/h3>\n

The SPARC AR red dot will require very little routine maintenance<\/span>
\nother than periodically cleaning the exterior lenses. If desired, the<\/span>
\nexterior may be cleaned by wiping with a soft, dry cloth.<\/span>
\nWhen cleaning the lenses, be sure to use products that are<\/span>
\nspecifically designed for use on coated optical lenses such as the<\/span>
\nVTX Lens Pen and FogFree Cleaning Kits.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Be sure to blow away any dust or grit on the lenses prior to<\/span>
\nwiping the surfaces.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Using your breath, or a very small amount of water or pure<\/span>
\nalcohol, can help remove stubborn things like dried water spots.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lubrication<\/span><\/h3>\n

All components are permanently lubricated, so no additional<\/span>
\nlubricant should be applied.<\/span>
\nNote: Do not attempt to disassemble any components of the red dot.<\/span><\/p>\n

Storage<\/span><\/h3>\n

Use the included lens cover to protect the lenses when not in use.<\/span>
\n\u2022 Remove the battery before putting in storage for extended<\/span>
\nperiods.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Avoid storage in direct sunlight or in any very hot location.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Storage and use in extreme cold will shorten battery life.<\/span><\/p>\n
