3.3 OPERATING PROCEDURES

3.3.1 OPERATING THE DRONE PRO

WARNING:
When installing the equipment on a weapon, verify that the weapon is clear and that the safety

is on before proceeding.

CAUTION:
DO NOT force the equipment controls past their stopping points.

CAUTION:
Although the Drone PRO is highly resistant to damage from light overload, DO NOT point it,

either powered or un-powered, directly at the sun or any other source of high intensity light

that the unprotected human eye cannot tolerate (such as welding arc). To prevent exposure to

these types of sources, never leave the equipment unsupervised with the objective lens cap

removed.

NOTE:
Zero the weapon prior to installing and bore sighting the Drone PRO.

Operating procedures are as follows:
1. Remove the Drone PRO from the carrying case.
2. Install the Drone PRO on the weapon’s Picatinny/Weaver rail.
3. Verify that the Drone PRO is securely mounted to the weapon.
4. Remove the objective lens cap.
5. Point the equipment at an object.
6. Activate the Drone PRO by turning the turn-pull switch to the ON position. After approximately 3 sec,

video of the scene should appear.

7. Adjust the Drone PRO for your eyesight by turning the eyepiece focus ring CW up to the stop, and

then CCW until the display and symbols (such as the reticle) are as clear as possible. Bring the object

into focus by turning the objective focus ring (CW for long-range focus, CCW for close-range focus).

NOTE:
The total diopter adjustment range is covered with 2 turns of the eyepiece focus ring.
The total focus range is covered with 3/4 turn of the objective focus ring.

8. Using the buttons on the control panel (Figure 3-15), configure the Drone PRO to adapt it to your

situation.

For more information on operational setting procedures, see Part 3.2 (Controls and Display Indica-

tions).

A. Adjust the brightness of the display for your comfort.
Momentarily push the brightness adjustment buttons to increase/decrease the display brightness

by one level at a time until you reach your desired brightness level.
