Troubleshooting
Measures the operator can take in the event of the named failure:
FAILURE
The sight will not power up
• Ensure that the sight is off (and not ON at a very low brightness Setting) by
pressing both the UP and DOWN buttons simultaneously.
• Ensure the battery is inserted properly. The positive (+) end should be positioned
on the side of the battery cap.
• Replace the battery with a new, unused battery that contains a full charge.
• Inspect the battery contact points in both the battery cap and in the sight itself to
ensure they are free of debris or corrosion.
• Reset the electronics by removing any source of power for approximately two
minutes. This will allow a capacitor in the electronics housing to drain of power,
resetting the electronics. Reinstall the battery and operate the sight as normal.
• Check the battery contacts for corrosion or wear. Clean the contacts.
• Turn in the sight for maintenance.
FAILURE
There is a streak in the reticle / the reticle is dim / the reticle fades in parts
of the window
• Replace the battery.
• 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
I am missing a bolt / have broken a bolt / have broken a latch
• Turn the sight in for maintenance.
