5. Setup

5.1 Mounting the Scope

1. Ensure the firearm is unloaded and pointed in a safe direction.
2. Attach the provided mounting rings to your Picatinny rail. Position them to allow for proper eye relief.
3. Place the scope into the lower halves of the rings.
4. Adjust the scope's position for optimal eye relief. Eye relief is the distance between your eye and the eyepiece that provides a full, clear field of view.
5. Rotate the scope so the elevation turret is directly on top and the reticle is level.
6. Install the upper halves of the mounting rings and tighten the screws evenly with the hex key. Do not overtighten.

5.2 Diopter Adjustment

This adjustment focuses the reticle for your individual eyesight, ensuring it appears sharp and clear.

1. Point the scope at a plain, bright background (e.g., a clear sky or a blank wall).
2. Look through the scope and quickly glance at the reticle.
3. Adjust the diopter ring on the eyepiece until the reticle appears perfectly sharp. Avoid staring at the reticle for too long, as your eye may compensate for blurriness.

6. Operating the Scope

6.1 Magnification Adjustment

The scope offers variable magnification from 3x to 9x.

• Rotate the magnification ring located near the eyepiece to increase or decrease the magnification.
• Higher magnification provides a closer view but reduces the field of view and can amplify minor movements.
• Lower magnification offers a wider field of view, which is useful for quick target acquisition.

6.2 Windage and Elevation Adjustment

These turrets are used to zero the scope, aligning the point of impact with the point of aim.

1. Remove the protective caps from the windage (side) and elevation (top) turrets.
2. Each click of the turret will move the point of impact by a specific amount (e.g., 1/4 MOA at 100 yards).
3. To adjust the point of impact:
   • Elevation: Turn the top turret UP to move the point of impact up, DOWN to move it down.
   • Windage: Turn the side turret R (Right) to move the point of impact right, L (Left) to move it left.
4. After zeroing, replace the protective caps.

7. Maintenance

7.1 Cleaning the Lenses

• Use the provided cleaning cloth or a soft, lint-free cloth specifically designed for optical lenses.
• Gently brush away any dust or debris.
• For stubborn smudges, use a small amount of lens cleaning fluid on the cloth, then wipe gently.
• Avoid touching the lens surfaces with your fingers.

7.2 General Care and Storage

• Keep the lens flip covers on when the scope is not in use to protect the lenses.
• Store the scope in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Avoid dropping or subjecting the scope to harsh impacts, as this can affect its zero and internal components.
• The scope is O-ring sealed and nitrogen filled for 100% water and fog-proof performance, but avoid prolonged submersion.
