6.1 Чыстка лінзаў

To maintain optimal clarity, regularly clean the lenses of your red dot sight. Use the provided lens cleaning cloth or a soft, lint-free cloth. For stubborn smudges, a small amount of lens cleaning solution designed for optics can be applied to the cloth, not directly to the lens.

• Gently brush off any loose dust or debris from the lens surface.
• Працірайце лінзу кругавымі рухамі ад цэнтра да краёў.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cloths, or excessive force, as this can damage the lens coatings.

• Чысціня лінзаў: Ensure the lenses are clean and free from smudges, dirt, or debris. Refer to Section 6.1 for cleaning instructions.
• Паралакс: While the sight is largely parallax-free, extreme eye positions or very close distances might introduce slight distortion. Ensure consistent eye relief.

7.3 Inaccurate Aiming / Point of Impact Shifts

• Mount Security: Check that the sight is securely mounted to the Picatinny rail and that all screws are tightened. A loose mount is a common cause of accuracy issues.
• Абнуленне: Re-zero the sight if you suspect it has been knocked or if you've changed ammunition types. Refer to Section 4.3.
