ILLUMINATED RETICLE
For 3-RAIL SIGHTING SYSTEM Scopes equipped with an Illuminated Reticle (Fig. 3), the
Reticle can be illuminated in Blue for use when exterior lighting conditions are less than optimal.
Control of the illumination is achieved by simply rotating the Rheostat Knob in one direction or the
other.
If you look closely at the side of the Rheostat Knob you will notice a Dot on the left side of the
rheostat knob and a series of numbers. The ‘Dot’ will indicate the current position of the rheostat
knob, “0” represents the Off position. If you turn the knob in either direction the reticle will
illuminate blue. The illumination reticle can be set to 7 levels of intensity, “1” being the dimmest and
“7” being the brightest. Adjust the brightness level as needed in accordance with the surrounding
conditions. The illumination will increase reticle visibility, especially during dawn and dusk. This
illuminated scope is not intended for use in total darkness. When the illumination is turned off the
reticle will appear as normal, with Black reticle lines. Be sure that the Rheostat Knob is set to the “0”
position when not in use to preserve battery life.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your 3-Rail Sighting System scope is shock proof and waterproof. However, you should never try to
take it apart or clean it internally. The exposed optical lens surfaces will perform their best if they
are routinely cleaned with a lens brush and the lens cloth provided with your scope. For a deep
cleaning, you can also use high grade camera lens paper and camera lens cleaning solutions. Never
use any other type of materials or solvents other than those designed specifically for optical lenses to
avoid damaging your scope. Clean the outer portion of the lens cavity first with cotton swabs,
clearing as much debris and dust as possible. Then, gently clean the lenses using a circular motion
starting in the center and ending at the edges. Do not rub the lenses continually; simply wipe in
short circular patterns. Maintain the exterior surfaces of the scope by removing dirt or sand by using
a soft brush or a soft, dry cloth. You can also use a silicone treated cloth to restore luster and
protect the scope against corrosion. Be careful not to touch any of the lenses with the silicone cloth.
It is not necessary to lubricate any part of the scope as all of the moving parts, such as the turrets
and the fast focus eyepiece, are permanently lubricated. When not in use, always store your scope
in a dry place with the lens caps on to prevent scratches to the lenses.
 If you are not sure about any of the procedures in this manual, always
seek the help of a qualified professional to avoid damage to your scope
and your firearm.
