FAILURE
The reticle is fuzzy / has a ‘halo’ effect / has more than one reticle
The reticle is naturally pixilated and the outer circle will appear to be made up of
many small dots. The center circle will still be distinguishable as one dot.
• Lower the brightness level of the reticle. This fault is generally caused by the
reticle brightness being too high. The reticle is not designed to be so bright as to
block the target.
• The reticle is projected onto your target plane. You must focus on it like you would
any other object at that distance. Do NOT focus on the sight housing, rather, focus
on your target. The outer ring is designed to be a reference to center, similar to a
ghost ring.
• If you wear corrective lenses for nearsightedness, you will require them, not
reading glasses, to see the reticle in focus, as it is projected onto the target plane.
If you wear bifocals or have astigmatism, you may see a distorted reticle.
• Prior to turning the sight in for repair, check with others who have used the sight
and compare what you see to ensure it’s not your focal acuity.
• Turn the sight in for maintenance.
FAILURE
The reticle is flashing / flashing on and off / unit turns off during recoil
• This is the low battery indicator. Replace the batteries.
• If the batteries are low, a high recoil weapon platform can cause the reticle to
flash on and off, even before the low battery indicator takes effect. Replace
the batteries.
• Replace the batteries with a name brand which have proven to be the most
effective to withstanding a consistent amount of recoil. Many brands of batteries
deteriorate faster than others and can result in these failures.
• Turn the sight in for maintenance.
