charge for best performance. It is safe to use rechargeable batteries with the Photon RT.

To install the batteries:

1. Turn the knob on the cover of the battery container (10) 90 counterclockwise to the open position.

2. Pull out the battery container using the lug on the bottom left of the cover.

3. Insert the batteries into the battery container. Make note that the battery polarity matches the positive and

negative symbol marked on the walls of the container.

4. Insert the battery container back into the battery compartment. Make sure the container is inserted properly so

that the container’s contacts match up with the contacts inside the battery compartment.

5. Turn the knob on the battery container 90 clockwise to lock it in place.

Note: the battery charge icon on the display will show current charge level of the batteries. When the batteries are near depletion the battery indicator

light will turn red and ash.

Warning! Remove the battery container from the device during storage and transportation. To prevent short circuit and overheating, store and carry

the battery container in the supplied pouch. Not following this safety procedure can cause batteries to quickly lose charge and possibly overhea

potentially damaging the product, and any personal items stored with the battery container.

EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY

The Sightmark Photon RT can be powered by an external power supply such as a 5V power bank or even your

personal computer.

To connect the Photon RT to external power:

1. Connect the provided microUSB cable to the USB port (8) on the riescope.

2. Connect the other end of the USB cable to a power bank or PC.

3. On the riescope’s display two icons will appear, plug icon (power) and computer icon (storage device). Select

the plug icon by rotating and pressing the controller to select.

4. The battery icon on the display will switch to the plug icon. The riescope is now operating using the external

power only.

Note: When AA batteries are in the unit and an external power source is used, the unit operates on the external power source only. When the unit is

disconnected from a power bank or external power supply, the Photon will automatically switch to internal batteries. When using rechargeable AA

batteries in the Photon RT, plugging the Photon RT into an external power source DOES NOT recharge the batteries in the unit.

MOUNTING

The Sightmark Photon RT riescope requires 30mm scope rings (not included) for mounting. Mount the scope

per the scope ring manufacturer’s instructions. Do not perform a nal tightening of the rings prior to checking

eye relief and reticle alignment. Initially the riescope should still be able to move for and after and rotate when

installed in the rings.

To achieve maximum eye relief:

1. Turn the Photon RT on and focus the image. Set the riescope far forward in the rings and slowly move the

riescope closer to your eye. Stop moving the riescope once a full eld of view is visible.

2. Next rotate the scope to vertically align the crosshair. Use a reticle leveling tool if available.

3. Once alignment is complete, tighten the mounting ring’s screws evenly so the gap is even on both sides of the

scope. Do not over tighten.

Warning! If the riescope is not setup correctly with proper eye relief and is mounted too close to the shooter’s eye, it’s rearward motion due to rearm

recoil may cause injury to the shooter. To zero the scope, see section “One Shot Zeroing”.

ON/OFF ACTIVATION

The Sightmark Photon RT controls are located on top of the unit for easy access.

To power the unit on:
