4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Powering On and Brightness Adjustment

The rheostat knob, located on the side of the scope, controls both power and reticle brightness.

1. Rotate the rheostat knob clockwise from the "OFF" position to turn on the reticle.
2. Continue rotating the knob clockwise to increase the brightness of the red dot.
3. Rotate the knob counter-clockwise to decrease brightness or turn the scope off.

4.2 Windage and Elevation Adjustments (Zeroing)

The windage (horizontal) and elevation (vertical) adjustment turrets are located on the top and side of the scope, protected by screw-down caps with an integrated lanyard system.

1. Unscrew the protective caps from the windage and elevation turrets. The caps are tethered by a lanyard to prevent loss.
2. Use a flat-head screwdriver or the cap itself (if designed with a slot) to make adjustments.
3. Elevation Adjustment (Top Turret): Turning the turret clockwise will move the point of impact DOWN. Turning it counter-clockwise will move the point of impact UP.
4. Windage Adjustment (Side Turret): Turning the turret clockwise will move the point of impact RIGHT. Turning it counter-clockwise will move the point of impact LEFT.
5. Each click represents a specific change in point of impact (e.g., 1 MOA or 1/2 MOA, refer to specifications for exact value if available).
6. After zeroing, replace the protective caps securely.

Note: It is recommended to perform zeroing at a shooting range following established safety protocols.
