The mounting ring is sold separately — please refer to the actual product for compatibility. NOTE:
Ensure both the riflescope base and the rail surface are clean. Use a lint-free cloth to remove dust or debris before installation. NOTE:
Do not overtighten the screws to avoid damaging the mounting system or the riflescope body.
DEVICE OPERATION
POWER SUPPLY
The riflescope is powered by a dual-battery system — one built-in rechargeable battery and one removable 18650 battery (included in the package).
You can also charge the device directly via the USB Type-C port.
NOTE:The riflescope can operate with a single battery, but for extended operation, it is recommended to use both batteries simultaneously.
INSTALLING THE BATTERY
- Open the cover of the external battery compartment located on the right side of the riflescope’s center section.
- Insert the provided 18650 battery, ensuring it is installed according to the polarity markings on the device housing.
- Close and tighten the battery compartment cover securely.
Use only high-quality, button-top 18650 batteries to ensure proper contact and avoid power interruptions under recoil.
CHARGING THE DEVICE
You can charge the riflescope through the Type-C port using the included data cable.
The battery level indicator is displayed on the status bar when the device is powered on. Charge the unit promptly when the level is low to ensure proper operation.
Charging Guidelines:
- Maintain a battery temperature between 32°F and 140°F during charging.
- Always use the original charging cable supplied with the device.
Charging Steps:
- Open the rubber cover protecting the Type-C port.
- Connect the provided Type-C cable to the port and a power source.
Charging Indicator States:
- Red and green flashing alternately – Charging error.
- Red light on – Charging in progress.
- Green light on – Fully charged.

OPTICAL RANGING MODE (FOR NON-LRF MODELS)
This feature allows manual range estimation using the reticle’s reference marks or on-screen scale. It is available only on riflescope models that do not include a built-in Laser Range Finder (LRF). For LRF-equipped models, see Laser Ranging Mode.
The optical ranging mode estimates the distance to the target by adjusting two horizontal reference lines so that they align with the top and bottom of the target’s silhouette.
The system then calculates and displays the approximate distance based on the selected target type and apparent size.
Steps
- Press and hold the Control Wheel to open the Main Menu.
- Rotate the Control Wheel to highlight Ranging and press to open it.
- Rotate the Control Wheel to move the blue lines until they touch the top and bottom edges of the target.
Once aligned, the system will display the estimated distance between the target and the riflescope.
NOTEThe accuracy of optical ranging depends on the steadiness of the device and the size assumptions of the selected animal profile. For higher precision, use models equipped with the integrated LRF.
LASERRANGING – MEASUREMENT CONSIDERATIONS (FOR LRF MODELS)
The Laser Range Finder (LRF) measures the distance between the riflescope and a target by detecting the reflected laser beam. For optimal accuracy and performance, several environmental and physical factors must be considered.
Suitable Measurement Targets
The LRF is designed to measure distances to targets with different levels of surface reflectivity:
- High Reflectivity: Road signs, metal surfaces, or bright reflective panels.
- Medium Reflectivity: Building walls, rocks, or painted surfaces.
- Low Reflectivity: Trees, utility poles, animals, or dark matte objects.
Targets with extremely low reflectivity (e.g., water, glass, or shiny black surfaces) may not return a measurable signal.
Factors Affecting Ranging Accuracy
- Target Reflectivity: The higher the reflectivity, the greater the effective measurement distance.
- Target Shape and Size: Small, narrow, or irregularly shaped objects provide less reflected laser energy, reducing accuracy and range.
- Measurement Angle: Accuracy is highest when the target surface is perpendicular to the laser beam. At steep angles, reflection is weakened, causing potential measurement errors or loss of reading.
- Environmental Conditions: Atmospheric factors such as fog, rain, snow, smoke, haze, or direct sunlight can scatter or absorb the laser signal, reducing range performance.
Optimal Conditions for Accurate Measurement
- Target with medium reflectivity (e.g., wall).
- Target surface perpendicular to the laser beam.
- Weather conditions: Clear skies, without direct sunlight or heavy atmospheric interference.
For consistent accuracy, avoid aiming at water, glass, or moving objects, and perform measurements under stable environmental conditions.

This ensures you never miss a key moment without needing to manually press record.
Steps
- Press and hold the Control Wheel to open the Main Menu.
- Rotate the Control Wheel to select RAV.
- Press the Control Wheel to toggle the feature:
- On — The riflescope will automatically record when recoil is detected.

The RAV function may not trigger with low-recoil calibers or when using suppressors.
FUNCTIONALITIES
The Functionalities menu provides access to additional tools and features that enhance the operation and user experience of your riflescope.
These options allow you to customize interface elements, enable useful widgets, and optimize the device for different field conditions.
Table 4.2.10 Functionalities menu
| Icon | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
 |
Zoom Step | Defines the increment used when changing digital zoom levels. Smaller steps allow for smoother, more precise adjustments, while larger steps enable faster zoom changes. |
 |
Laser Ranging | The LRF Mode defines how the Laser Range Finder operates when measuring distances to a target. To
ensure accurate readings, always keep the riflescope steady and avoid aiming at reflective or uneven
surfaces.
Laser radiation can cause eye injury. Never look directly into the beam or observe it through optical devices. |
 |
Compass | When the compass feature is active, the current heading is displayed at the top of the screen. Сompass calibration: To begin compass calibration, rotate the riflescope along all three axes within 20 seconds, ensuring each axis completes at least one full 360° rotation. Once the rotation phase is complete, the device will display a pop-up prompting you to point the riflescope north. After aligning the device and confirming the north direction, the calibration process will finalize, and the system will return to the main menu. |
 |
Burning Warning | When the system detects a potential overheating risk for the sensor, a warning message will appear on the screen and the shutter will automatically close to prevent damage. RECOMMENDATION Avoid aiming at extremely hot objects for long durations. |
 |
Pitch & Roll | Displays device tilt and inclination relative to the horizon. These indicators help maintain proper
leveling of the riflescope, improving long-range shot consistency.
TIP Use this feature to ensure accurate zeroing and stability when shooting from uneven terrain. |

WI-FI CONNECTION SETUP
After enabling Wi-Fi, the riflescope creates its own wireless hotspot, allowing you to connect a smartphone or tablet and access live view, media files, or control features through the ATN mobile app.
Connection Procedure
- On your smartphone, open the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android) and search for “ATN Connect 6” to download and install the application.
- Press and hold the Control Wheel to open the Main Menu.
- Rotate the Control Wheel to select Settings > Wi-Fi, then press the Control Wheel to enter.
- Enable Wi-Fi. The device will broadcast its hotspot with the following credentials:
- Wi-Fi Name (SSID): You can find it on the label attached to the lens cap, or by navigating to Main Menu → Settings → Wi-Fi Password.

- Then launch the ATN Connect 6, choose the device, and follow the on-screen prompts.
The Wi-Fi password can also be changed directly through the ATN Connect 6 mobile app in the Settings section.
Switching Wi-Fi Band
In the Wi-Fi Settings menu, select Wi-Fi Band and rotate the Control Wheel to choose between:
- 2.4 GHz: Longer range, more stable connection in open areas.
- 5 GHz: Faster data transfer speed and lower latency for close-range use.
