Caution
(1) Do NOT look at the sun through the riflescope. It will permanently damage your eye. This precaution applies to all optical devices, such as cameras and binoculars.
(2) The riflescope is effectively sealed against moisture and dust. You may use your scope safely either in the rain or in dusty climates. To preserve the appearance of the scope, we recommend that it be dried and
cleaned prior to storage. Use a soft cloth for cleaning metal surfaces and use photographic lens tissue to clean the scope's lenses.
(3) Never leave the device in the sun for extended periods without the Eyepiece/Objective cap. The objective lens and eyepiece can function as a burning glass and damage the interior components.
(4) When not in use for an extended period, please remove the battery from the body.
(5) If the battery compartment cover is damaged, or if it emits a strange sound due to dropping or some other cause, remove the battery immediately and stop using.

When setting the reticle for hunting, you should determine your standard range and then adjust the reticle based upon that target distance. For targets which vary from that standard distance, according to personal
preference, you may simply adjust the position of the reticle in relation to your target, or you may wish to use the procedure for trajectory compensation.
We hope that you will enjoy your new Nikon M-223 Riflescope for many years to come. Enjoy using it, and above all, always follow safe shooting procedures.

3. Instructions
(1) Focusing
1 Look through the eyepiece with your eye positioned about 10 cm (4 in) away from the eyepiece to see the BDC 600 (Fig. 3-1)
or Illuminated BDC 600 with Dot (Fig. 3-2). Be sure your eye is positioned with proper alignment and with proper eye relief,
otherwise the view will “black out.”
2 Point the objective end of the scope at the sky (do NOT point it at the sun) or at a plain unpatterned wall.
3 Turn the eyepiece adjustment counter-clockwise and then turn it clockwise until the reticle appears sharp.
(2) Magnification
• The M-223 Riflescope has variable magnification. For details, see “2. Specifications”.
To change powers, rotate the power selector ring until the desired magnification appears adjacent to the power index dot.
