MOUNTING
PREPARATION FOR OPERATION
Before getting started make sure to follow these
steps:
• Install the battery into its housing with the
polarity order shown on the main body of the
unit.
• Switch on the Aries scope with the protective
lens cover still attached to the lens.
• Make sure that the green luminance of the
light intensifier tube is present.
• Observe the scene, and adjust the diopter
and/or lens for optimal image clarity.
• You may now enter a dark environment or
simply shut the lights off in order to darken
the room.
• Next, remove the lens cap/daylight filter.
• Observe the scene, and adjust the front lens
for ideal focus.
• Finally, you may want to turn the infra red (IR)
illuminator on. Notice the ability of the Aries
scope to see in total darkness with the aid of
the IR illuminator.
OPERATING
RETICLE BRIGHTNESS ADJUSTMENT
By rotating the knob you may adjust the ret-
icle’s brightness. Adjustment could be easily
seen if you look through the scope while adjust-
ment.
1. Slightly loosen the horizontal and vertical
fixing screws on the 7/8” weaver rail built into
the scope.
2. Place the scope on the dovetail mount of the
fire arm making certain that the mount aligns
with the receptor attachment screw groove.
Adjust as necessary.
3. Tighten the horizontal fixing screws.
NOTE: Receptor attachment screws may need to
be tightened after continuous shooting.
FOCUSING
To focus your riflescope you will need to adjust
the diopter first thing. Simply turn the diopter
clockwise until it stops. Then, while looking
through the diopter at a subject, slowly turn the
diopter back counter clockwise until the grain
in the image is sharp.
NOTE: We suggest that you focus the diopter
during daylight with the filter on.
Before focusing turn the lens fixation handle
clockwise, to unlock the lenses.
Next, focus the front lens until the image and the
grain are both sharp. When you are in the low-
light conditions and the daylight filter is off you
may focus the front lens to receive a sharp image,
the diopter should not be adjusted.
NOTE: The front lens should be readjusted as
you view objects at different distances.
When you are finished to adjust the front lens
focus, you should lock the front lens in place by
turning the lens fixation knob clockwise. Fail-
ure to do this may cause shift in aimpoint when
shooting.
