6.2 Reticle Color Selection

• Rotate the knob to the desired color setting.

6.3 Windage and Elevation Adjustments

Windage (horizontal) and elevation (vertical) adjustments are made using click-adjustable turrets.

1. Remove the protective caps from the windage (side) and elevation (top) adjustment turrets.
2. Use a flat-head screwdriver or a coin to turn the adjustment screws.
3. Each click represents a specific change in point of impact (e.g., 1 MOA per click). Refer to the sight's specifications for precise click values.
4. Turn the elevation screw clockwise to move the point of impact down, and counter-clockwise to move it up.
5. Turn the windage screw clockwise to move the point of impact right, and counter-clockwise to move it left.
6. After zeroing, replace the protective caps to prevent accidental adjustments and protect the turrets.

7. Maintenance

7.1 Cleaning the Lenses

To maintain optical clarity, keep the lenses clean.

• Use a soft, lint-free cloth (like the one provided) or a lens brush to gently remove dust and loose debris.
• For smudges or fingerprints, use a lens cleaning solution specifically designed for optics and apply it to the cloth, not directly to the lens.
• Wipe the lens gently in a circular motion from the center outwards.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals, paper towels, or abrasive materials, as these can scratch the lens coatings.

7.2 General Care and Storage

• Keep the sight dry. If it gets wet, wipe it down with a clean, dry cloth.
• Store the sight in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Always ensure the lens caps are closed when not in use to protect the lenses from dust and scratches.
• If storing for an extended period, remove the battery to prevent leakage and damage to the electronics.
