The key thing to remember when shooting with the StrikeFire red dot
is to keep both your eyes open! Shooting with both eyes open allows
you to take full advantage of the StrikeFire’s ability to get on target very
quickly.

Note: When using the add-on magnifier for distance shooting, you
may find it easier to shoot with one eye closed due to the increased
magnification.

The StrikeFire is parallax free beyond 50 yards and has less than 1 inch
of parallax inside of 50 yards. This means that eye placement is not
critical—as long as you can see the dot, you’ll hit your target!

The Vortex StrikeFire requires very little routine maintenance other
than to periodically clean the exterior lenses. The exterior of the red
dot 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.

Cleaning

• 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.

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

Lubrication

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

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

Storage

• 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.

Please check the following before returning a scope for service:

If the red dot does not illuminate

• Is the battery dead? Replace.

• Is the battery installed correctly? Be sure the battery is oriented with
“

–

”

lettering facing the cover.

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

• Is the StrikeFire in night vision compatible mode? Press the NV
mode button to return to standard daytime mode.

Be sure all mount screws are tight. You should not be able to twist or
move the StrikeFire in any direction. Many times, problems thought to
be with the scope are actually mount problems.
