Setup
Mounting the Sight
The Omega Red Dot Sight is equipped with a 21mm Quick Release Mount, designed for easy attachment and detachment from Picatinny or Weaver rails.
- Ensure your firearm or airsoft replica has a compatible 21mm Picatinny or Weaver rail.
- Open the quick release lever on the side of the sight's mount.
- Align the sight's mount with the rail on your firearm.
- Press the sight firmly onto the rail, ensuring it is seated correctly.
- Close the quick release lever. It should snap securely into place, holding the sight firmly without wobble. If the fit is too loose or too tight, adjust the tension screw on the opposite side of the lever using the provided Allen wrench until a secure fit is achieved.

Battery Installation
The sight requires one CR2032 battery (not included).
- Locate the battery compartment, typically on the bottom or side of the sight.
- Unscrew the battery cap counter-clockwise.
- Insert a fresh CR2032 battery with the positive (+) side facing upwards (towards the cap).
- Screw the battery cap back on clockwise until it is finger-tight. Do not overtighten.
Operating Instructions
Powering On/Off and Illumination Adjustment
The Omega sight features 5 levels of red and green illumination.
- To power on the sight, rotate the illumination control knob (located on the side) from the 'OFF' position to any numbered setting (1-5).
- Rotate the knob further to increase or decrease the brightness level.
- To power off the sight, rotate the knob back to the 'OFF' position.
Reticle Selection
This sight offers 8 distinct reticle patterns, switchable between red and green illumination.
- To change the reticle pattern, rotate the reticle selection dial (located on the top or side of the sight, often marked with symbols representing the reticles).
- Each click will cycle through a different reticle pattern.
- To switch between red and green illumination, use the dedicated color switch button or dial, if present. (Note: Specific mechanism may vary, refer to physical sight for exact control).

Zeroing the Sight (Windage and Elevation Adjustment)
Zeroing the sight aligns the point of aim with the point of impact. This process should be performed at a controlled range.
- Elevation Adjustment: The elevation adjustment turret is typically located on the top of the sight. Rotate the turret to move the reticle up or down. Turning the turret clockwise usually moves the point of impact down, and counter-clockwise moves it up.
- Windage Adjustment: The windage adjustment turret is typically located on the right side of the sight. Rotate the turret to move the reticle left or right. Turning the turret clockwise usually moves the point of impact right, and counter-clockwise moves it left.
- Each click of the adjustment turrets corresponds to 1 MOA (Minute of Angle) at 100 yards.
- Make small adjustments and fire test shots to confirm the changes until the point of aim matches the point of impact at your desired zeroing distance.
Maintenance
Cleaning
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your sight, regular cleaning is recommended.
- Use the provided cleaning cloth or a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the exterior surfaces of the sight.
- For the lenses, use a lens brush to remove any loose dust or debris. Then, use a clean, optical-grade microfiber cloth with a small amount of lens cleaning solution (if necessary) to gently wipe the lens surfaces. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Ensure no moisture enters the battery compartment or other sensitive areas.
Battery Replacement
Replace the CR2032 battery when the reticle illumination becomes dim or fails to light up. Refer to the 'Battery Installation' section under 'Setup' for detailed steps.
