Yes the crosshairs are black until you turn it on. Then you can choose red or green each having three different levels of brightness.

Yeah the battery just powers the red and green light the crosshairs are always there.

If I understand your question, if the battery dies, which means the range finding and auto POH are inop, can you put dope on the scope? Yes, you can put dope on the scope for elevation and windage as a normal scope with covered turrets. When you sight the scope in with the gun, the operation with this scope is just like any other. Once you have done that, and you have input the correct information for the electronic calculator, you can then push a button, range the target and the POH lights and you hold dead on with that indicator. Good luck. Capt Tom Pledger, Jr

Yes. After adjusting your power on the eye piece the side focus does the job. I use the scope for 300 yd Benchrest and it has very good optics for its price range.

Yes it does. Honestly it's a fairly quality scope. Be cautious of the size, other than that, and the fact that it gets a little hazey at max zoom, I absolutely love it.

I bought this because of the upper sight can be used should the batteries fail. When you sight in the scope verify with optic, then with bore sight. That being said, it still depends on distance and wind!

If it has the option of an illuminated reticle( which mine does) it will take batteries. I actually dont know which kind. I havent had to change them in the entire 2 years i had it. But i never really use the illuminated function. I can tell you the batteries are the small disk shaped kind. And they go right in the first top turret thats closest to your eye. Sorry i cant be much help. Also the optic came with the batteries.

No. This scope is meant to be moved electrically. My rechargeable batteries last a long time, so it shouldn't be a problem. With the red dot viewfinder its easy to use the hand controller to manually point the telescope where you want it to go.

I did not hook it up to a scope, but according to my volt meter it starts at the output I set it to and holds it very well even when the input changes.

It comes with two small batteries. Both are needed to make it work. The device works very well and makes it much quicker, and cheaper, to set up a scope.

The reticle is diode-generated. It can't be seen if the power is off or the battery dies. But you can co-witness with iron sights in the lower 3rd of the fov. It works out well. And the reticle will appear to move as you move your eye in relation to the scope. So the reticle will appear shift downward to line up with the irons when on. The alignment remains accurate. Doesn't matter when the scope is off. But that's why many shooters have backup sights... Just in case. And the run time on the AAA battery is long. Plus. AAA batts are cheap and abundant. Can't say that about the coin-type batts. The reticle is diode-generated. It can't be seen if the power is off or the battery dies.

My scope has not turned off while using it. I would guess a faulty power source or wiring - I would contact manufacturer for warranty.

Hey man before you purchase be careful these are not the best scopes but they are good for the price. With that being said the battery is a lithium battery 3v

Yes it does work well with and without the power on (red & green). Still surprised at the power this scope has for the price.
1546298
Yes. Have not made any further adjustments to scope since it was zeroed. Scope is very well designed.

Yes it works well. That is one of the big reasons I purchased it. If the battery dies at any time you still have a reticle. It is black so not so good at dusk but excellent during the day.
1044346
yes it works just fine.but when not in use pull the battery out.it will leak and make a mess hope this helped the scope has a on off switch on the side of scope

I'm not positive as I'm not close to my gun right now. But I do know it comes with an extra battery. And the battery life in my opinion is really good. And the scope overall is excellent.
