3 / GET STARTED
14 / XPS3
Battery
• One initially supplied (1) CR123 Lithium battery powers the XPS3.
• The HWS® is designed to maintain constant brightness at a particular setting as
the battery drains down. The reticle brightness will not fade as the battery runs
down, but rather, shut down abruptly.
• The first indication of the battery draining is the reticle blinking when the unit is
turned on (
see Electronic Features, page 16).
• Another indication of a low battery is the reticle pattern blinking off and on during
recoil. With high recoil guns, this can occur before the battery check indicates low
battery condition.
• If the reticle pattern blinks off and on during recoil or turns off suddenly, replace
the battery.
PRO TIP: It is always good practice to replace the battery with a fresh ones before a mission.
