Windage

The vertical and horizontal adjust- ments for the Aries can be achieved by turning the elevation and windage adjustment mechanisms (remove dust caps first). Each click equals 1/8 inch at 100 yards for the 350 and 6800/7800. 1/4 inch for the 330. When reaching the maximum range of rotation do not use force.

CLEANING THE EYEPIECE

You may need to clean the eyepiece of the rif- lescope from time to time in order to guarantee top performance. When you receive your rifle- scope you should check for dust on the eye- piece of the unit.

First you will need to remove the eyepiece. To do that you will need to initially loosen the 2 set screws that can be found on the base. Then unscrew the eyepiece counter-clockwise to remove it.

NOTE: You do not have to remove the set screws completely, they are very small and easy to mis- place.

CAUTION: Use only Photographic lens clean- ing tissue on these surfaces. Be careful not to scratch or smudge any of these surfaces. When using compressed air to blow dust away, make sure to avoid inverting the can while spraying. This can cause frozen propellant to exit the can, which can cause serious prob- lems with the glass and phosphor screen.

CAUTIONS

•Always remember to turn off the Aries scope when it is not in use. If you do not plan on using your aries scope for a period of more than 10 days, you should remove the batter- ies.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Q:Flashes, flickers, or clicking occur while operating

S:If it occurs within the first five minutes of inserting new batteries, it is normal and the device will resume normal operation soon thereafter. If it occurs for more than 10 minutes, contact your dealer or other authorized service representative for service instructions.

Q:Dark spots on screen.

S:This may be dust on the lens, please clean according to instrutions. They may also be Cos- metic blemishes in the intensifier tube which are a by-product of the manufacturing process. This is normal and will not affect the life or per- formance of the unit.

Q:Image not clear.

S:Adjust focus ring. If problem persists, increase viewing distance

Q:Fixed-pattern noise in a honeycomb shape.

S:Usually a cosmetic blemish characterized by a faint honeycomb-type pattern. This usually occurs when viewing very bright lights. Adjust the potentiometer, to reduce brightness.
