3.2. Windage and Elevation Adjustment

The red dot sight has a total adjustment range of 90 MOA for both windage and elevation. Adjustments are made using the turrets located on the top and side of the sight.

1. Elevation Adjustment: The top turret adjusts the vertical position of the reticle. Turn the cap counter-clockwise to expose the adjustment screw. Turning the screw clockwise moves the point of impact down, and counter-clockwise moves it up.
2. Windage Adjustment: The side turret adjusts the horizontal position of the reticle. Turn the cap counter-clockwise to expose the adjustment screw. Turning the screw clockwise moves the point of impact right, and counter-clockwise moves it left.

Each click of the adjustment screw corresponds to a specific change in the point of impact. Refer to the markings on the turrets for precise adjustments. Always ensure the turret caps are securely fastened after making adjustments to prevent accidental changes and protect the mechanisms.

• Wipe the exterior of the sight with a soft, damp cloth.

4.2. Storage

When not in use, store the red dot sight in a cool, dry place. Remove the battery if storing for extended periods to prevent leakage and damage to the electronics.
