USE SAFE GUN HANDLING PROCEDURES AT ALL TIMES.

MOUNTING YOUR RED DOT SCOPE

1.The base or bases should be manufactured specifically for your pistol, rifle or shotgun and should create a uniform horizontal and vertical mounting platform. Be sure they are properly installed and securely fastened according to the manufacturer’s instructions for your safety. There is no set eye relief for this sight, therefore, you should provide at least three inches of clearance between the eyebell and your eye when in the shooting position.

2.Set the clamps onto the base or bases so that they align with the crosscut grooves. Work each clampscrew into the base until the crossbolt seats into the groove. Securely tighten each locking nut with a coin or screwdriver. For additional holding power, add a drop of thread-locking compound to the center of each locking nut.

INSTALLING BATTERIES

Your new Tasco Red Dot is powered by one 3V “coin-style” lithium battery, Type 2032. Should your reticle grow dim or not light at all, you will need to replace the batteries. To install new batteries, unscrew the battery compartment and insert “+” side up. Replace battery cover.

ZEROING YOUR RED DOT SIGHT

NOTE: THE FOLLOWING SHOULD BE DONE AT AN APPROVED RANGE OR OTHER SAFE AREA. EYE AND EAR PROTECTION IS RECOMMENDED.

1.Activate the illuminated reticle by turning the rheostat knob clockwise to brighten and counterclockwise to dim. The “1” represents the dimmest and the “11” the brightest illuminations.

2.Remove the windage and elevation adjustment caps.

3.With the scope mounted, rest the gun on a solid support. Sight along the barrel and aim at a target 50 to 100 yards away. Sight through your Red Dot and use the windage and elevation adjustments to align the lighted reticle with the target as seen along the barrel. Each click of adjustment moves the point of impact by 1/2” at 100 yards, 1/4” at 50 yards, and 1/8” at 25 yards.
