The ATN Night Vision Riflescopes Mounting System allows to change the position of the riflescope flexibly on the weapon in relation to a shooter in combination with the fixed positions already available on the weaver rail. For this purpose in the base of the mounting bracket there is a rail with a fixing projection. There are two grooves in the mounting bracket for mounting this rail. Besides it is possible to change the position of the riflescope additionally by 1/3 of inch. For doing this one needs to about-face the rail.
To change the position of the riflescope on the weaver rail additionally follow the steps mentioned below:
1. Unscrew the two screws, which attach the rail to the mounting bracket.
2. Take the rail out of the groove.

3. About-face the rail in case of necessity.
4. Place the rail into another groove.
5. Fix the rail with the two screws.

NOTE: If the rail does not come out easily, tighten one of the removed screws into the threaded aperture in the middle of the fixing projection of the rail. Rotate this screw, which will in turn push the rail out from the groove.

FocusIng
To focus your riflescope you will need to adjust the diopter first thing. Simply turn the diopter clockwise until it stops. Then, while looking through the diopter at a subject, slowly turn the diopter back counter clockwise until the grain in the image is sharp.
NOTE: We suggest that you focus the diopter during daylight with the cap on.
opERATIon ExTEndIbIlITy
There are three detachable Picatinny rails on the body of the scope for additional lighting, laser and other mission critical tools. The rails fix with two screws as shown on the figure.
IR IllumInATIon
Infra-red (IR) Illuminators are common for night vision technology. The IR light greatly enhances the performance of your ATN Trident Pro scope, while remaining almost totally invisible to the naked eye. In dark environment, power up the ATN Trident Pro. Now, find a scene and examine it without the IR on then with IR powered up. Note the difference in illumination. It is important to remember
3
that the IR illuminator is simply an infra red light source, and like any light source it may loose its effectiveness over a great distance.
To fix the IR illuminator to the riflescope use the picatinny raile of the scope.
The IR illuminator control buttons are located on its side. To switch the Digital IR illuminator on/off press “+” and “-” buttons simultaneously. When the IR illuminator is switched on you can see the green LED lit. By pushing the buttons “+” and “-” you may adjust the IR brightness.
The IR beam is focusable to change the field of coverage. To change the beam width slightly turn the IR lens.
You could change the IR control panel fitting your needs. The wrench included into the set should be used for weakening the fixing nut located on the IR. Rotate the IR placing at in the most convenient position. Tighten the nut with the wrench to fix the new position.

RETIclE
ATN Trident Pro reticle gives a clearly aiming point, even when hard-to-see game blends into the background. Posts and crosshairs center section covers a minimum of the target and allow for less target coverage, making precision shots on small target easy.
The size of illuminated red reticle correspond to 1 yards at
100 yards distance.

clEAnIng ThE EyEpIEcE
You may need to clean the eyepiece of the riflescope from time to time in order to guarantee top performance. When you receive your riflescope you should check for dust on the eyepiece of the unit.
CAUTION: Use only Photographic lens cleaning tissue on these surfaces. Be careful not to scratch or smudge any of these surfaces. When using compressed air to blow dust away, make sure to avoid inverting the can while spraying. This can cause frozen propellant to exit the can, which can cause serious problems with the glass and phosphor screen
