most advanced professional. Our objective is to give each and every customer the quality,
commitment, and service expected from the sighting industry leader. Whatever your
shooting discipline, we wish you the best shooting, and again, we thank you for choosing
the HOLOgraphic Archery Sight.
This user manual describes the features of the HOLOgraphic Archery Sight.
Please read
the instructions carefully before mounting and using the sight and always practice
proper Archery safety.
HOLOgraphic Archery Sight will include:
•
Sight assembly
•
2 x Type N alkaline batteries
•
7/64” allen wrench.

BASIC OPERATION
The HOLOgraphic Archery Sight uses laser light to illuminate a holographic reticle
pattern embedded in the heads-up display window and forms a virtual image of a reticle
pattern. The shooter looks through the heads-up display window and sees a bright red
image of a reticle pattern projected onto the target plane. There is
absolutely no light projected onto the target plane, and the sight is legal to use in most
shooting and hunting situations. The
HOLOgraphic Archery Sight
has no magnification.

BATTERIES
Two (2) commonly available Type N alkaline 1.5 V batteries power your HOLOgraphic
Archery Sight. An initial set of batteries comes with your sight. The HOLOgraphic
Archery Sight is designed to maintain constant brightness at a particular setting as the
batteries drain down. The reticle brightness will not fade gradually as the batteries run
down but rather shut down abruptly. Another indication of low batteries is the reticle
pattern blinking off and on during recoil. With high recoil bows, this can occur before the
battery check indicates low battery condition. If the reticle pattern blinks off and on
during recoil or turns off suddenly, replace the batteries. Please read and follow the
battery replacement and battery check procedures described in this Manual.
Alkaline batteries from different manufacturers are not all constructed the same way.
Tests show some brands are more susceptible to degradation by the shock of recoil. We
recommend the use of Eveready Energizer batteries with the
HOLOgraphic Archery
Sight. It is always good practice to replace the batteries with a fresh set before a match or
an extended hunting trip.
CAUTION-There is a 12 V battery that is approximately the same size as the Type
N 1.5 V battery. DO NOT USE 12 V battery. They will severely damage the sight.
REPLACING BATTERIES
Remove the battery compartment by lifting up on the locking cam lever and carefully
sliding the battery compartment away and up from the sight housing (Figure 2) . After
the battery compartment is removed, slide the batteries out and replace them with a fresh
set. The labels on the bottom of battery compartment show the correct battery orientation.
To re-install the battery compartment, point the sight towards the ground and slide battery
compartmant onto base. Make sure there is enough clearance between the contact and the
batteries to avoid bending the contacts. Hold the battery compartment down firmly
against the base and close the locking cam. Before you push down on cam lever, make
sure the battery compartment sits all the way down and parallel to the base. Verify
correct battery installation immediately by turning on the sight and checking if the
holographic reticle appears. If the batteries are left in the sight backwards, they will be
drained of their power.

ELECTRONIC FEATURES
All electronic controls are via push-button switches located at the rear of the unit housing
as shown in Figures 1. To ensure proper operation of the push button switches we
recommend pressing firmly on the center of the switch.
1. ON/ AutoBattery Check
Depressing the Up Arrow push-button switch will turn the sight ON. The sight will
automatically perform a battery check everytime it is turned on. If the batteries have less
than 20% of life left, the sight will turn on with the reticle image blinking on and off for 5
seconds. If the remaining battery life is more than 20%, the sight will turn on with a
steady reticle pattern. The battery condition can be checked any time by turning the sight
off and back on.
2. OFF
To turn the sight off depress both UP and DOWN arrows simultaneously. Verify by
looking through heads-up display window.
3. Brightness Adjustment
Push-button switches vary the brightness intensity of the holographic reticle pattern.
Depressing and releasing the push-button switches moves the brightness level UP or
DOWN one (1) step from the previous setting. Depressing and holding the up arrow or
down arrow switch will change brightness level up or down continuously in steps. There
are twenty (20) brightness settings providing a dynamic range of 20,000:1 from the
lowest setting to the highest setting. When the sight is turned ON, the brightness intensity
level is automatically set to Level 12.
4. Auto Shutdown
The
HOLOgraphic Archery Sight is equipped with auto shutdown capability and will
automatically shut itself OFF 8 hours after the last push-button control is used.
