Setup and Installation

Mounting the Riflescope:

1. Ensure your firearm is unloaded and pointed in a safe direction.
2. Identify the appropriate Weaver or Picatinny rail section on your firearm. The scope's integrated mounts are designed for these systems.
3. Loosen the mounting screws on the scope's base using the provided Allen key.
4. Position the riflescope on the rail, ensuring proper eye relief. Eye relief is the distance between your eye and the eyepiece that provides a full, clear field of view. Adjust the scope's position forward or backward until optimal eye relief is achieved when shouldering the firearm.
5. Once positioned, tighten the mounting screws evenly and securely. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the rail or the scope.
6. Optional: If using .22 bases, ensure compatibility and secure mounting.

Battery Installation (if not pre-installed):

The illumination system requires a battery. A battery is typically pre-installed, and a spare is included. To replace or install the battery:

1. Locate the battery compartment, usually on the illumination control knob.
2. Unscrew the cap of the battery compartment.
3. Insert the battery with the correct polarity (+/-) as indicated inside the compartment.
4. Securely screw the cap back on.

Operating Instructions

Adjusting Magnification:

Rotate the magnification ring, located near the eyepiece, to adjust the magnification from 2X to 6X. Turn clockwise for higher magnification and counter-clockwise for lower magnification.

Focusing the Eyepiece:

To achieve a sharp reticle image, look through the scope at a plain, bright background (like a wall or the sky). Rotate the eyepiece until the reticle appears crisp and clear. This adjustment is typically done once for your vision.

Windage and Elevation Adjustments:

The riflescope features external windage and elevation adjustment turrets. These turrets are typically located on the top (elevation) and right side (windage) of the scope body.

1. Unlocking Turrets: Some turrets may require pulling up to unlock them for adjustment. Push down to lock them after adjustment.
2. Adjustment Clicks: Each click of the turret moves the point of impact by a specific amount (e.g., 1/4 MOA at 100 yards).
3. Elevation: To adjust the vertical point of impact, turn the top turret. Turning clockwise typically moves the point of impact down, and counter-clockwise moves it up.
4. Windage: To adjust the horizontal point of impact, turn the side turret. Turning clockwise typically moves the point of impact right, and counter-clockwise moves it left.
5. Zeroing: Perform zeroing at a shooting range according to standard procedures for your firearm and ammunition.

Illuminated Reticle Operation:

The illuminated reticle enhances visibility in low-light conditions. The illumination control is typically located on the left side of the scope body.

1. Power On/Off: The battery compartment cap may also serve as an ON/OFF switch. Turn it to the 'ON' position.
2. Activating Illumination: Use the soft-touch buttons (+, -, C) on the eyepiece or illumination control. Press 'ON' to activate.
3. Adjusting Brightness: Press the '+' button to increase brightness and '-' to decrease brightness.
4. Changing Color: Press the 'C' button to switch between red and blue illumination.
5. Power Off: Press 'OFF' or turn the battery compartment cap to the 'OFF' position to conserve battery life.

Maintenance

Cleaning the Lenses:

Use the provided lens cloth or a soft, lint-free cloth specifically designed for optical lenses. Gently wipe away dust and smudges. For stubborn marks, a small amount of lens cleaning fluid can be applied to the cloth, not directly to the lens.

• Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Avoid touching the lens surfaces with your fingers.

General Care:

• Keep the lens caps on when the scope is not in use to protect the lenses from dust and scratches.
• Store the riflescope in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Periodically check all screws and mounts for tightness, especially after extended use or transport.
• While the scope is waterproof, avoid prolonged submersion. Dry the scope thoroughly if it gets wet.
