2. Setup
2.1 Mounting the Riflescope
The ATN X-Sight Pro is designed to be mounted using standard 30mm rings. Ensure the rings are securely attached to your rifle's rail system (Weaver Mount compatible). Proper mounting is crucial for maintaining zero and accuracy. While standard rings are included, some users may prefer aftermarket rings for enhanced stability.

2.3 MicroSD Card Installation
Insert a MicroSD card (up to 64GB supported) into the designated slot for video recording and data storage. It is recommended to format the MicroSD card directly within the scope's settings for best compatibility and performance.
2.4 IR Illuminator
An IR illuminator is included for enhanced night vision capabilities. Attach it to the Picatinny rail adapter on the scope. While functional, some users may consider upgrading to a more powerful IR illuminator for extended range and clarity in complete darkness.
3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Day and Night Modes
The ATN X-Sight Pro seamlessly transitions between day and night vision modes. In day mode, the scope provides a full-color, high-definition view. In night mode, it utilizes infrared technology to deliver a clear, grayscale image in low-light conditions. Switching between modes is typically done via the intuitive control buttons on the scope.
3.2 Ballistic Calculator
The integrated ballistic calculator is a powerful tool for precise shot placement. Input environmental factors such as range, wind speed and direction, angle to target, temperature, and humidity. The scope will then calculate the exact ballistics and adjust the aim point accordingly. For even greater accuracy, an optional ABL (Auxiliary Ballistic Laser) rangefinder can be attached to automatically transmit range data to the scope.
3.3 Video Recording and RAV
The scope supports dual stream video recording, allowing you to stream live footage to a connected mobile device (via Wi-Fi) while simultaneously recording high-definition video (1080p) to the MicroSD card. The Recoil Activated Video (RAV) feature automatically records a video segment before and after a shot is fired, ensuring you capture critical moments without manual intervention.
3.4 One-Shot Zero
The One-Shot Zero feature simplifies the sighting-in process. After firing an initial shot, the scope allows you to adjust the reticle to the point of impact on the target, effectively zeroing the scope with minimal effort.

3.5 Controls and Navigation
The scope features intuitive control buttons and smooth focus/magnification wheels for easy operation. The menu system is designed for user-friendliness, allowing quick access to various settings and features.
4. Maintenance
- Cleaning Lenses: Use a soft, lint-free cloth and lens cleaning solution specifically designed for optics. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the lens coatings.
- Body Cleaning: Wipe the scope's body with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Storage: Store the scope in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the lens caps are on to protect the optics.
- Battery Care: For long-term storage, it is advisable to charge the internal battery to approximately 50% to prolong its lifespan.
