I just rceived this sight today and cant find this feature, (Mechanical Rheostat Feature to adjust pin brightness). Can somebody explain it to me?

Do you see the fiber optic running around the sight? There is a circular piece that you can twist to cover up the fiber optic cable to dim the sight. Hope this helps!

the rheostat is located on the sight housing in front of the pin. the housing rotates and as you rotate it clockwise (to screw it in) is dims the pin brightness. it does this as it covers more and more of the fiber optics that surround the housing to reduce the amount of light going throughthe fiber optics and into the pin. just grab the front of the housing and give it a couple of turns and you will see the brightness go down.

There is a black ring around the sight. You screw that in and out to allow more light to get thought to the fiber. So if you were to hold the sight and spin what would be the front of it, it will more in and out exposing/ covering the green fiber

The entire sight ring slides out exposing more of the fiber optic wraps to the sunlight. Hard to describe, but easy to do... Hope that helps.

You've found it. It's a 3-position switch. I don't have it in front of me, but the options are something like OFF, WHITE or COLOR CHANGING mode.

Upon receiving the item, please check inside the plastic ziplock bag to see if it came with a silver pin. This pin is use to activiate the sensor light. Insert the pin inside the tiny hole on the light housing and push it, you will hear a slight "click". This means that the light has been activated. You're good to go. If this procedure does not work, return it. You might have a defective product.

I think they have redesigned this light- mine arrived today and I charged it up per instructions before first use and just tried it out. The light is trigger operated now instead of the dial control that is mentioned in earlier reviews. Pull the trigger once and it comes on at the brightest setting (really bright), pull it again and it goes to a lower brightness setting which would be good for up close work. The light stays on until you pull the trigger again, so yes, it will stay on until you turn it off.

You can change the sensitivity for Rex. That way it doesn't go off at every pin drop in a neighboring apartment.

One additional point. One good thing...There is a status indicator that shows when there is interaction/interference from any source and how much (the more interference the more the status light blinks...where there is none, it stays off)...I actually used it like a homing device to find the right area with the least amount of interference. Without it, I probabably would have pulled my hair out trying to locate the sources of interference.

Hi,I don't know. My light is temperamental but responds when I tighten the casing. Try jiggling it. mask

Simple, just keep in low position the little suitch(slide) located right up from the botton (push)to activate the discharge, you will see a red light when is 0n.hope this will answer your question

yea i noticed that in the onset, Sometime even when i changed the brightness manually it would stay the same. I restarted my machine and some pending updates were installed i don't kno if that fixed it but it has not happened since.

After setting mine up I noticed only two small holes, to turn on the system. Other than that, there doesn't seem to be any way of "adjust / modify" the light. Instructions said nothing about this adjustment either. Hopes this helps.

That happens sometimes. Hit shift (2nd) and the arrow up to increase the brightness. Keep doing that until you can see the numbers.

Sorry, but I have no idea. I bought this online, paid to have it installed, and hated it!!! (no default clock function - idiotic dancing display default instead!). So I had it removed and sold it for an expensive loss....

I had the same problem, I changed the battery (It's a CR2032 'button' battery.... available online for about 40 cents each) Once I put a fresh battery in it was fine. That was just a week ago, so I'll see how it goes. If it acts up again I will move the pins to channel 2 or 3 (less crowded area). Keep me posted, Don

That Is normal, you just adjust until you find the right light setting. I have several mag lights and they all do the same.

Not sure. You can only adjust top pin (by shifting entire sight housing up and down) and second pin (using micro adjustment dials). The rest fall into place as you adjust the second pin.

My apologies I have not opened and installed the package yet. If there is an indicator light I would assume it is only to represent "ON" and "OFF" states. In my application this will be hard-wired to a set wattage and will be controlled by wall mounted Leviton electronic timer "switch". Since it will be installed in the toe-space, a light on the unit will not make much difference. I hope this helps.

Push down & turn it to the rright, I haven't had any problems, bought mine in Aug.
