2.2 OPERATING PROCEDURES
2.2.1 Zeroing
Aimpoint’s sights are delivered in a centered position. Normally this means
that only small adjustments are necessary, providing that the base(s) are
properly aligned.
CAUTION: Do not continue to adjust windage and elevation mechanisms
if you encounter resistance.
The elevation adjustment screw is located on top of the sight, while the
windage screw is located on the right side of the sight (fig.3).
a) Open front and rear lens covers.
b) Turn the rotary switch clockwise until the red dot has a sufficient inten-
sity to contrast against the target.
c) Remove the windage and elevation adjustment caps.
NOTE: Each click of the adjustment screw corresponds to a 10 mm move-
ment of the point of impact at 80 meters, (3 mm at 25 meters, 13 mm at
100 meters and 25 mm at 200 meters or
1
/4” at 50 yds,
1
/2” at 100 yds
and 1” at 200 yds).
