1 PRESENTATION
Aimpoint®red dot sights are designed for the ”two
eyes open” method which greatly enhances situational
awareness and target acquisition. Thanks to the optical
design the red dot follows the movement of the user’s eye
while remaining xed on target, eliminating any need for
centering.

2 OPERATION
WARNING: Ensure the weapon is not loaded and the
safety selector is in the ”safe” position before attempting
to install, remove or perform maintenance.
2.1 Install or replace battery
a Unscrew and remove the battery cap (3) using the at
side of the Aimpoint tool (8B) .
b If replacing battery, remove depleted battery from the

c Insert battery (2) with the positive end (+) toward the
battery cap (3) as seen in Fig. 1.
CAUTION: Check that the o-ring on the battery cap (3)
is in position and in good condition to ensure there is no
water leakage into the battery compartment.
d Tighten the battery cap (3) with the Aimpoint tool (8B).
When resistance is encountered, proceed to tighten
until the battery cap (3) is fully tightened.
NOTE: For long term storage of the sight, remove the
battery.
2.2 Turn ON / OFF and adjust red dot intensity
• Press or to turn the sight ON.
NOTE: The sight will always turn ON at setting 7 of 10.
• Hold to turn the sight OFF.
• Press or to adjust red dot intensity.
NOTE: Intensity setting 1-2 are intended for use with
NVD and intensity setting 3 - 10 for use in daylight.

2.3 Install the sight
To install the sight to an interface compatible with the
integrated mount shown in Fig. 1, follow the described
procedure:
a Loosen the screw (5) using the Torx T10 of the Aimpoint
tool (8D) and clamp the locking bar (4) around the
dovetail interface.
b With the recoil stop positioned in a recess, push
the sight forward (toward muzzle) and tighten the
screw (5).
c Tighten the screw (5) until a light resistance is
encountered. Proceed with another 1/4 to 1/2 turn until
fully tightened (MAX. 3 Nm / 2.2 ft·lb).
d Retighten the screw (5) after initial ring to ensure the
sight is securely fastened.
CAUTION: Do not overtighten.
2.4 Zeroing
CAUTION: Do not continue to adjust windage and
elevation screws (6) (7) if you encounter resistance.
a Adjust the intensity to a comfortable setting for the red
dot to contrast clearly against the target.
b Use the Torx T10 of the Aimpoint tool (8D) to turn the
adjustment screws (6) (7).

c Windage adjustments (see Fig. 3):
• Turn windage adjustment screw (6) counterclockwise
to move point of impact to the right (R).
• Turn windage screw (6) clockwise to move point of
impact to the left.
d Elevation adjustments (see Fig. 4):
• Turn elevation adjustment screw (7)
counterclockwise to move point of impact up (U).
• Turn elevation adjustment screw (7) clockwise to
move point of impact down.
e Conrm zeroing by ring at least three shots at a zeroing
target. Check points of impact to conrm accuracy and
repeat zeroing procedure if required.
f Ensure the sight is securely installed on the weapon and
retighten the screw for the locking bar (5) if neccessary.
NOTE: Each click of the adjustment screws (6) (7)
corresponds to approximately 2 cm movement of point
of impact at 100 m or 0.7 in at 100 yds.

3 EXTREME CONDITIONS
• Extreme heat (moist or dry): no special procedures
required.
• Extreme cold: extreme cold might shorten battery life.
• Salt air: no special procedures required.
• Sea spray, water, mud and snow: ensure the battery
cap (3) is tightened before exposing the sight to sea
spray, mud, snow or before submerging the sight in
water. Clean lenses with lens paper/cloth and wipe the
sight dry as soon as possible after exposure to water,
sea spray, mud or snow.
• Dust storms and sand storms: no special procedures
required.
• High altitudes: no special procedures required.
CAUTION: Never clean the lenses with ngers. Use
lens paper/cloth. If lens paper/cloth is not available:
• To clear away debris (sand, grass etc.): blow away
the dirt or rinse with clear water.
• To clean lenses: fog the lenses or rinse with clear
water and clean them with a soft piece of cloth.

4 TROUBLESHOOTING
The red dot does not appear or has disappeared
Make sure contact surfaces in the battery compartment
are clean and verify that a working battery (CR2032)
is installed correctly according to 2.1. If the sight is
malfunctioning, notify local dealer/armourer.
The sight is impossible to zero
If an adjustment screw (6) or (7) is at its limit, check the
alignment of mount and barrel. If point of impact is moving,
check if the sight is securely installed on the weapon and
check weapon rail (or carry handle) stability.
