CHAPTER I
1.1. Presentation
Aimpoint’s Reflex Sights are rugged precision electronic optical red dot
sights developed for civilian, military and law enforcement applications.
Aimpoint sights are designed for the ”two eyes open” method of sighting,
which greatly enhances situational awareness and target acquisition speed.
Thanks to the parallax-free design, the dot follows the movement of the
user’s eye while remaining fixed on the target, eliminating any need for
centering. Further, the sight allows for unlimited eye-relief. The CompM2
is compatible with 1st , 2nd and 3rd generation night vision devices, while
the CompML2 is optimized for applications, which do not require night
vision compatibility. Aimpoint has now introduced the CETechnology, a
radical advancement in red dot sighting performance with over 30 times
longer battery life than the existing XD - sights.

CHAPTER II
OPERATION UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS
2.1. ASSEMBLY AND PREPARATION FOR USE
WARNING: Insure the weapon is unloaded and the safety selector is in

the ”safe” position before attempting to install, remove or perform
maintenance on the sight.
2.1.1. Installing Battery

a) Remove battery cap by turning it counterclockwise.
b) Insert battery with positive (+) end toward cap.
Caution while replacing battery (not necessary when the sight is unused)
Before installing battery cap, inspect that the O-ring is present and not
damaged. Failure to do so could result in water leakage into the battery
compartment.
c) Install battery cap by turning clockwise until snug. Hand tighten
only. Using tools could damage equipment.
d) Verify that red dot is present by turning the rotary switch clockwise.
2.1.2. Installing Ring and Sight on the weapon

Aimpoint’s sights are designed for installation on most types of
weapons. If your weapon does not have or support an appropriate
base(s), please consult your dealer, gunsmith or other qualified source.
a) Assemble the sight to the weapon by using Aimpoint´s wide 30 mm
ring or QR-mount. If other standard 30 mm rings are used, make
sure that the ring(s) covers a length of minimum 25 mm or 1” (two
standard rings could possibly be used).
b) Ensure that the sight is correctly positioned for right or left hand
shooting, see fig 2 and 3.
c) When using lens covers, ensure that they are correctly positioned
and can be opened.
5
NOTE: make sure that you have space between the bottom front part of
the sight and the top of the base/weapon.
d) Finally, make sure that all screws are firmly tightened around the sight.
e) Complete the zeroing (2.2.1).
2.2. OPERATING PROCEDURES
2.2.1. Zeroing
Aimpoint’s sights are delivered in a centered position. Normally this
means that only small adjustments are necessary, providing that the
base(s) are properly aligned.
CAUTION: Do not continue to adjust windage and elevation mecha-
nisms if you encounter resistance.
The elevation adjustment screw is located on top of the sight, while the
windage screw is located on the right or left side, depending on how the
sight has been mounted on the weapon. (Aimpoint sights can be installed
to support either right hand (fig 2) or left hand (fig 3) shooters.)
a) Open front and rear lens covers.
b) Turn the rotary switch clockwise until the red dot has a sufficient
intensity to contrast against the target.
c) Remove the windage and elevation adjustment caps.
NOTE: Each click of the adjustment screw corresponds to a 10 mm

movement of the point of impact at 80 meters, (3 mm at 25 meters, 13
mm at 100 meters and 25 mm at 200 meters or 1/4” at 50 yds, 1/2” at 100
yds and 1” at 200 yds).
d) Insert adjustment tool (coin, screwdriver, knife) or cartridge casing

in adjustment screw slot and turn as follows:
• To move the point of impact to the right, turn windage adjustment
screw counterclockwise (clockwise if screw located on left side).
• To move the point of impact to the left, turn windage adjustment
screw clockwise (counterclockwise if screw located on left side).
6
• To move the point of impact up, turn elevation adjustment screw

counterclockwise.
• To move the point of impact down, turn elevation adjustment screw
clockwise.
e) Confirm zeroing by firing at least three shots at a zeroing target.
Check impact points on zeroing target to confirm accuracy and
repeat above procedure if required.
f) After initial firing, ensure that the mount and sight are secure.
g) Turn rotary switch to OFF position (counterclockwise).
h) Close front and rear lens covers.
CHAPTER III
OPERATION UNDER EXTREME CONDITIONS
a) Extreme heat (moist or dry). No special procedures required.

b) Extreme cold. Extreme cold might shorten battery life. Keep spare
batteries in your inner pockets to keep them warm.
c) Salt air. No special procedures required.
d) Sea spray, water, mud and snow. Ensure that battery cap and two
adjustment screw caps are tight before exposing the sight to sea
spray, mud, snow or before immersing the sight in water. Hand
tighten only. Keep lens covers closed when sight is not being used.
Clean lenses with lens paper/cloth and wipe the sight dry as soon as
possible after exposure to water, sea spray, mud or snow.
e) Dust storms and sand storms. Keep lens caps closed when sight is
not being used.
f) High altitudes. No special procedures required.
CAUTION: The lenses shall never be cleaned with fingers but with lens
paper/cloth. If no lens paper/cloth available :
- To clear away debris (sand, grass etc): blow away the dirt.
- To clean lenses: mist up the lenses and dry them with a clean and soft
piece of cloth.

used under normal conditions.
b) Under severe weather conditions please refer to chapter III.
c) Keep lens covers closed whenever the sight is not in use.
