#VORTEX MAGNIFIER INSTALL#

After the Micro3X is mounted behind red dot sight, the dot may seem off centered while viewing through the Micro3X. The dot-centering screws can be used to help center the red dot in the magnifier’s field of view.

The Micro3X Magnifier is easy to use and does not require any special sight-in–just zero-in the red dot as normal and add the Micro3X behind for additional 3x magnification. MICRO3X MAGNIFIER ADJUSTMENTS Center the Red Dot Image To return, simply push magnifier back into original position. To use the included flip mount, simply apply direct pressure and flip the Micro3X Magnifier to the left or right side (depending on mounting direction). Move lever back to closed position after adjustment is complete. It may be necessary to repeat this process a few times until desired tension is achieved. Make small adjustments of one or two clicks, then check lever closing tension. Using a flat blade screwdriver or similar device, turn the adjustment nut (pictured) left or right to loosen or tighten (left-looser, right-tighter).

To adjust the tension, move the lever back to the open position.

If lever won’t close, closes with excess force or seems extremely easy to close with little or no tension, proceed to step 4. It should not require excess force to close. Lever should close with moderate pressure using thumb or finger.

Position the Micro3X down onto the rail in desired location and move mount lever back to closed position.

To open the mount, depress the lock button and swing the quick release mount lever 90 degrees to the open position.

Vortex also increased the light transmission rate with anti-reflective coatings – the 6X performs better in low-light, and the image is clearer. The 6X magnifier is waterproof and fog-proof due to the O-ring seal and dry gas inside, which means you do not have to take harsh weather conditions out of the picture. The recessed turrets also prevent any accidental adjustments. The magnifier is simple to attach and remove, and the adjustable flip mount ensures the device is suitable for left, as well as right-handed users. The magnifier has different mounting heights so you can opt for the most appropriate one for your setup: Vortex says it “stands up to hard use in the field”, as it is designed to withstand harsh weather conditions and the highest levels of recoil and impact.
