WARNING
Before working on your ROMEO5™ X/XDR sight always ensure that the firearm is unloaded with the safety on.

OPERATION

Installing the Battery
The AAA battery compartment is located on the front (below the objective) side of the sight. Remove the battery cap by rotating the cap in the counter- clockwise (CCW) direction. Insert the AAA battery with the positive (+) terminal facing out-ward. Reinstall the battery cap by rotating the cap in the clockwise (CW) direction until finger tight.

Note – failure to properly tighten the battery cap could lead to intermittent LED illumination or allow moisture into the battery compartment.

Turning Sight On and Off / Illumination Control

• The illumination control is located on the top of the sight for easy, ambidextrous access. Press and hold either the (+) or (-) button for longer than 1 second to turn the sight on. To turn the sight off press and hold either the (+) or (-) button longer than 1 second to turn the sight off.
• Once the aiming dot or circle dot reticle is illuminated, you can increase the apparent brightness by pressing and releasing the (+) button; or decrease the brightness by pressing and releasing the (-) button.
• For the ROMEO5XDR model, press and hold both the (+) and (-) buttons simultaneously to toggle back and forth between the dot or circle dot reticle. Release the buttons to select a reticle.
• The sight features MOTAC and will automatically turn off after approximately 120 seconds of non-use. As soon as the sight senses motion it will automatically power back onto the last saved setting.
• The sight has 10 illumination settings; 8 daytime and 2 night vision.

MOUNTING THE SIGHT

• The integral riser mount comes with a modular base and spacer. The unit is shipped without the spacer so the sight is set to 1.41” height or absolute co-witness. This height places the typical iron sight on an AR / MSR or Carbine at the center of your optical axis. This allows the user to directly co-witness the aiming dot with the iron sights.
• Install the sight by loosening the cross-slot Torx bolt with the T10 tool by rotating the Torx head CCW. Install the sight on your rail and re-tighten in the CW direction to hand tight plus a ¼ turn or approximately 15 – 20 in-lbs.

The ROMEO5X/XDR was designed for use on most types of firearms that utilize the MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny Rail or Weaver style rails. Because the ROMEO5 has infinite eye relief, the sight can be mounted anywhere on the rail based on user preference.

ADJUSTING THE SIGHT HEIGHT

• Some users prefer a 1/3 lower co-witness sight height which is 1.63” from the top flat of your rail to the optical axis of your sight. This places the iron sights in the lower 1/3 of the sight window. To install the included spacer plate, turn the sight upside down and remove the 4 screws using the T10 Torx tool. You may need to use a longer tool for more torque in order to break the thread-locker on the mount to body screws. Remove all 4 screws by rotating CCW. Insert the spacer plate and re-install using the longer screws provided in the box.
• Insert the spacer plate between the base and the housing and reinstall the 4 Torx screws. It is recommended to use Loctite Blue 242 to ensure none of the screws back out under recoil. Torque the (4) screws to 8 in-lbs.

SIGHT ADJUSTMENTS

• Windage and elevation adjustments are located on the rear top and rear right side of the sight.
• Elevation adjustments – the elevation adjustment is on the top of your sight. To raise the point of impact turn the adjustment CCW with a flathead screwdriver. Each click is equal to 0.5 MOA. To lower the point of impact turn the adjustment CW.
• Windage adjustments – the windage adjustment is on the right side of your sight. To shift the point of impact to the right turn the adjustment CCW with a flathead screw-driver. Each click is equal to 0.5 MOA. To shift the point of impact to the left turn the adjustment CW.

MAINTENANCE

• Cleaning – Keep your lenses clear by using a soft cloth or lens pen. The best way to maintain image quality is by keeping your lens surfaces clear of dirt and dust that can cause scratches.
• Always use your bikini lens cover to ensure that the outer lens surfaces remain scratch free during transport.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Point of Impact (POI) changes between groups:

• Check that the mount is affixed tightly to the rail of your firearm.
• Check and clean your firearm.
• Check for variations in ammunition.

Intermittent LED Dot Illumination during live fire:

• Re-tighten the battery cap.
• Replace the battery or remove the battery and clean the battery compartment and battery surfaces.
