Operating Instructions
Power On/Off
To power on the optic, momentarily press either the '+' or '-' button. To manually power off the optic, press both the '+' and '-' buttons simultaneously. Note that manually powering off the optic will deactivate the Shake Awake feature until it is powered on again.
Shake Awake Technology
The optic features Shake Awake technology. If the optic is left on and motionless for a set period (default 10 minutes), it will enter sleep mode. Any movement will instantly power the optic back on to its last brightness setting. This feature conserves battery life.
Brightness Adjustment
The optic offers 10 daylight brightness settings and 2 night vision compatible settings. In automatic mode, the solar panel adjusts brightness from level 3 to 10 based on ambient light. To enter manual mode and access all brightness levels, including night vision, press and hold the '+' button for approximately 3 seconds. Once in manual mode, use the '+' and '-' buttons to cycle through brightness levels. To return to automatic mode, hold the '+' button for another 3 seconds.
Reticle Selection
The AEMS X2 PRO/CORE Series features a Multi-Reticle System. To cycle through available reticle options (2 MOA Dot, Circle Dot, etc.), press and hold the '-' button for approximately 3 seconds.

Sleep Mode Timer Adjustment
You can adjust the time before the optic enters sleep mode. The default is 10 minutes. Other options include 1 hour, 12 hours, or disabling sleep mode entirely. To enter the time adjustment mode, press and hold the '+' button for 10 seconds. Once in this mode, use the '+' and '-' buttons to cycle through the options. The reticle will blink to indicate the selected setting (1 blink for 10 min, 2 for 1 hr, 3 for 12 hrs, 4 for disabled). To save the setting, press both '+' and '-' buttons simultaneously.
Low Battery Indicator
When the battery is low, the reticle will flash once every 2 seconds to alert you that the battery needs to be changed.

Troubleshooting
- Optic not powering on: Check if the CR2032 battery is correctly installed and has sufficient charge. Replace if necessary.
