Please check the following before returning a scope for service:

If the reticle does not illuminate:

• Is the battery dead? Replace.

• Is the battery installed correctly? Be sure the battery is oriented with
plus sign facing upward.

• Is the battery cover loose? Be sure cover is snug and contact points are
clean.

If bullets are not grouping:

• Be sure the crossbolt nut is tight. You should not be able to twist or
move the Spitfire in any direction. Many times, problems thought to be
with the scope are actually mount problems.

Cleaning

The Vortex Spitfire requires very little routine maintenance other than
to periodically clean the exterior lenses. The exterior of the scope may be
cleaned by wiping with a soft, dry cloth.

When cleaning the lenses, be sure to use products that are specifically
designed for use on coated optical lenses such as the Vortex Lens Pen and
FogFree Cleaning Kits.

• Be sure to blow away any dust or grit on the lenses prior to wiping the
surfaces.

• Using your breath, or a very small amount of water or pure alcohol,
can help remove stubborn things like dried water spots.

Lubrication

All components are permanently lubricated, so no additional lubricant
should be applied.

Note: Do not attempt to disassemble any components of the scope.

Storage

• Keep lens covers closed to protect the lenses when not in use.

• Remove the battery when putting in storage for extended periods.

• Avoid storage in direct sunlight or in any very hot location.

• Storage and use in extreme cold will shorten battery life.
