Changing the Battery
All AIM Illuminated Reticle scopes use a 3-volt lithium photo
battery. See page 32.
To change the battery:
1. Remove the battery cover by grasping its edge (located
around the top of the illumination dial) and twisting the cover
counterclockwise while holding the sides of the illumination
dial to keep the entire dial from turning.
2. Remove the old battery from its position in the center of the
dial.
If your AIM scope is one of our models with an eyepiece that has
a lock ring, follow these simple steps:
1. Grasp the eyepiece with your hand and back it away from
the lock ring. Once the lock ring is free form the eyepiece,
turn it clockwise away from the eyepiece to keep it out of the
way during the adjustment.
2. If you tend to hold things away from yourself to see them
clearly (you are farsighted) turn the eyepiece counterclock
wise a couple of turns. If you hold things close to yourself
to see them clearly (you are nearsighted) turn the eyepiece
clockwise a couple of turns.
3. Looking through the scope when pointed at the sky, take a
few quick glances at the reticle. The focus of the reticle
should be noticeably different from when you started.
Continue this process until the reticle appears clear and
sharp.
4. When you are satisfied with the image of the reticle, turn the
lock ring so that is resting firmly against the eyepiece.
The battery for the AIM Illuminated Reticle is located
inside the control dial and can be changed without tools.
