EOTech 556 - Manual (Page 12)

Corrective Action 2: The reticle appears to be projected onto the target plane. The shooter’s eye
must be focused on it as with other objects at that distance. Do NOT focus on the sight housing like
other reflex sights; focus on the target. The outer ring is designed to be a reference to center,
similar to a ghost ring.
Corrective Action 3: If corrective lenses are worn for nearsightedness, they are required to focus on
the reticle, as it is projected onto the target plane. If bifocals are worn or if there is a eyesight
astigmatism, a distorted reticle may be seen.
Corrective Action 4: Check with others who have used the sight, and compare what seen to ensure
it is not your visual acuity, prior to returning the sight for repair.
Corrective Action 5: Return the sight in for repair.
Failure: The reticle is flashing/ flashing on and off/ unit turns off during recoil
Corrective Action 1: This is the low battery indicator. Replace the batteries.
Corrective Action 2: If the batteries are low, a high recoil weapon platform can cause
the reticle to flash on and off, even before the low battery indicator takes effect. Replace the
batteries.
Corrective Action 3: Replace the battery with Energizer brand batteries. This battery brand has
proven to be the most effective in withstanding consistent recoil. Many brands of batteries
deteriorate faster and can result in this failure.
