Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your red dot sight. Keep the lenses clean using a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that could damage the lens coatings.
The Frenzy Red Dot Sight features a side-loading battery design, allowing for convenient battery replacement without removing the sight from the firearm or losing your zero. The sight uses a CR1632 battery.
