Focusing the EP-8 / Setting the Diopter
1. Begin with the magnification ring set at 1X. 2. Keep both eyes open and ensure proper eye relief, ensuring there’s no shadowing around the edges of your view. 3. Gradually rotate the ocular ring to align the peripheral view with the internal view seen through the optic. 4. Continue adjusting until you achieve a flat, distortion-free image and a crisp, clear reticle. 5. Ensure there’s no deviation in the image from the peripheral to the internal view — this is the hallmark of a true 1X magnification setting. This calibration process ensures that your EP-8 delivers optimal performance, providing you with a genuine 1X magnification experience.
Variable Power Adjustment
1. Begin with the magnification ring set at 1X. 2. Rotate the magnification ring until the indicator aligns with the desired power level marked on the ocular housing. 3. Gradually increase the magnification for a closer view of your target. The EP-8 scope offers a versatile range from 1X for quick acquisition to 8X for honing in on distant details.
ARKEN EP-8 Throw Lever
1. Begin by locating the raised tab on the magnification ring of your EP-8 scope. 2. Take the provided Throw Lever and screw it into the threaded hole in a clockwise direction. Ensure it is snug but avoid over tightening, as this can lead to thread or slot damage. 3. With the Throw Lever in place, you now have an extension for your magnification adjustments. This enhancement allows for rapid and precise changes.
