INDUSTRY CANADA ICES-003 COMPLIANCE
This device meets the CAN ICES-3 (B)/NMB-3(B) standards requirements.
SAFETY SUMMARY
- Read and follow all instructions
- Read all warnings
- Only use the attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer
- All service must be provided by the manufacturer
WARNING:
- This product contains natural rubber latex, which may cause potentially fatal allergic reactions! If you are allergic to latex, it is important that you strictly avoid exposure to products that contain it.
- Always make sure your firearm is unloaded before you place the scope on the firearm. Reconfirm that the chamber is empty if you stop the procedure then resume later. Safe handling rules should be followed at all times.
- If a scope is mounted too far to the rear, the eyepiece can injure the shooter’s brow. Shooting at an uphill angle also increases this hazard because it shortens the distance between the brow and the rear of the scope. For this reason, AGM scopes are engineered to provide generous eye relief. Therefore, when mounting your scope, we recommend positioning it as far forward in the mounts as possible to take full advantage of this generous eye relief. With hard-recoiling rifles, serious injury or even death can result from eyepiece impact with the shooter during the recoil process when discharging the firearm. Be certain that your installation provides sufficient eye relief for the recoil generated by your rifle before shooting the firearm.
NOTE : Give special attention to this warning when shooting uphill and/or from a prone position. These shooting conditions can dramatically reduce eye relief. PLEASE maintain maximum eye relief when shooting heavy recoiling and/or magnum firearms. THE USER ASSUMES ALL RESPONSIBILITY AND LIABILITY FOR HAVING THE AGM RIFLESCOPE PROPERLY MOUNTED TO A FIREARM AND USING THE AGM RIFLESCOPE PROPERLY. ALWAYS CHECK THE CONDITION OF YOUR MOUNTING SYSTEM PRIOR TO USING YOUR FIREARM.
WARNING :
- The proper usage of the device is important for safe operation!
- Therefore carefully read this manual!
- If the device was left in storage for a longer period of time, before use, check its functionality
- Disassembling of the device is prohibited, except in authorized repair centers.
- Please remove the batteries from the battery compartment before connecting the device to your PC, or it may cause computer damage.
- The external optical surfaces should be clean at all times. Touching the optical surfaces with bare hands is not recommended.
- Sand and seawater can damage the optical coatings!
- Do not point the device directly at the sun!
- Image performance is dependent on scenery and atmosphere conditions. Contrast in the same image may vary as a function of the time of day due to the effect of the sun. For example, at sunset objects will have absorbed different levels of heat resulting in greater temperature differences and better contrast.
- When left in storage for a longer period of time, batteries have to be removed and stored in polyethylene bags to prevent contact with metal. (It is recommended to recharge the batteries every two to three months.)
- When carrying or transporting the device, put the protective lens cap on!
- Condensation can cause fogging of the optical surfaces! Condensation occurs when the temperature or humidity changes as follows:
- When moving the device from a cold to a warm place or vice versa;
- In places with high humidity.
When equalizing the temperature of the device with the environment, the
condensation disappears. Use a towel to remove moisture.
NOTES:
- The detector spectral band provides better visibility through smoke, dust, rain, smog, etc.
- Infrared radiation does not travel through glass. As a result, the riflescope does not detect objects if they are behind glass windows or other barriers.
WARNING:
Clean the lens surfaces with the lens tissue or a dry cloth!
LEGAL NOTICE
Before attaching to weapons, check the regional legal regulations in the area
of application. The attachment to a weapon is always the sole responsibility
of the user.

INSTALLING THE RATTLER ON A PICATINNY/WEAVER RAIL
WARNING:
Always make sure your firearm is unloaded before you place the scope on the
firearm. Reconfirm that the chamber is empty if you stop the procedure then
resume later. Safe firearms handling rules should be followed at all times.
The Rattler comes fully assembled with a Picatinny/Weaver mount. The mount is
attached to the scope with two screws.
To install the Rattler on a Picatinny/Weaver rail, perform the following
(Figure 2-6):
- Unlock the clamping device of the scope mount by pushing down on the lever holder (A) and unlocking the lever (B).
- Install the scope on the Picatinny/ Weaver rail so that the stop (C) slides into the transverse slot on the rail.
- Affix the scope to the rail by locking the lever (B).
- Verify that the clamping device is firmly holding the Rattler. If necessary, adjust the clamping device’s lever-cam lock as detailed in part 2.1.17 (Clamping Device Adjustment).
CLAMPING DEVICE ADJUSTMENT
To adjust the mount’s clamping device, do the following:
-
Remove the Rattler from the weapon.
-
With the clamping device unlocked (as shown in Figure 2-6), push the cam (E) towards the arrow, which will cause the nut (D) to slide out of its hole.
-
To tighten/ loosen the clamping device, push down on the cam (E) and turn the nut (D) CW/ CCW respectively, in one-two increments (see note below). Much like when the cam (E) is released, backward-moving spring will cause the nut (D) to slide back into its hole.
