Mounting your scope
The X-Sight 5 has a 3.5-inch eye relief (90 mm), and can be mounted using 30 mm mounting rings. ATN has provided two standard rings and one L shape ring. The L shape ring is for those instances when you need extra eye relief for certain rifles. First, choose your preference of rings and position and mount the bottom portions of your rings to your rail for optimal eye relief. Place the scope on the bottom half of the rings you just mounted, verifying you have sufficient eye relief for your platform. Place the top portion of your ring over the mounted bottom portion, make sure the holes align and the screws turn easily. Apply equal torque to all screws with the provided Allen wrench. Make sure your rings are tight on your rifles rail and will not come loose due to recoil.
For mounting the X-Sight 5 on the Picatinny rail:
- Loosen the fixing screws on the sides of the mounting rings.
- Place the rifle scope on the Picatinny rail so that the projection of the rail, which is in the base of the ring, enters the recess in the rail.
- Tighten the fixing screws of the mounting rings.
CAUTION!:
Be sure your weapon is not loaded. Use safe weapon handling procedures at all times.
NOTE:
Please do not over tighten the Fixing Screws when attaching the rings to your rail, we recommend using 30 in-lbs (Nm 3.39).

RAV CALIBRATION
RAV (Recoil Activated Video) is a fantastic feature that allows you to set your scope to record your video when you fire your weapon. But as there are many types of calibers and platforms our standard RAV sensitivity may not be enough.
IE small calibers that have little recoil, which fails to activate RAV. With this option you are able to adjust the sensitivity of your scope in order for it to recognize the light recoil and activate RAV.
NOTE:
For best results you should only Calibrate RAV at a shooting range. ATN endorses safe and responsible recreational shooting, and does not recommend RAV calibration at home regardless of state law.
Open the Shortcut Carousel and navigate to the Wrench Icon. Scroll to Profile/Zero and then Select Current. Use the Down Button to navigate to RAV calibration. Press the Right Button to enter RAV calibration. You should see a velocity rating in the upper left corner ( __. __ ft/s or m/s ) followed by “1, 2, 3”. The First circle is blinking denoting actively searching for input. While having the RAV calibration active fire a round down range. You should see example (9.4 ft/s) or something similar, as it will depend on the caliber and your platform.
Once you get the first number press the center OK button to save. Repeat this process with only your desired input until there is a check mark on all numbers. If an error has been encountered either with ammunition, loading, or any other possible malfunction, simply press the FUNCTION 1 button to leave RAV calibration. Afterwards, please repeat the process. Once this has been accomplished your scopes RAV is calibrated to your caliber, grain, velocity, and platforms felt recoil.
By following this process, you should be able to use RAV with the ammunition and platform used during the calibration process.
NOTE:
We have conducted tests to 22 Air rifle and 22 Long Rifle successfully increasing the sensitivity of RAV.
Zeroing
NOTE:
Before Zeroing your scope, please make sure the correct lens type is selected. You can check this by going to the System Settings and selecting Settings. You will see the subcategory Device Type. Please make sure you select the lens type of your scope.
This lets the system know which Scope you are actually using (example: X-Sight 5 3-15 or 5-25).
To Zero in your scope you will need to go to the Profile/Zero section of the System Settings, or select it from the Shortcut Carousel.
To enter the System Settings, open Shortcut Carousel with OK button and select the wrench icon with RIGHT or LEFT buttons, then enter the PROFILES/ZERO tab and select Current or Other, then select Zero reticle. Or select the Zero Reticle shortcut from the Shortcut Carousel and push the OK button to enter the menu.
Before you begin the Zeroing process you will need to either create a new Profile or utilize an existing one. We recommend to create a new one to understand the process better.
Under the Profiles/Zero Category you will find Current, Other, Import from SD card, Export to SD card. Select Other. There you will see Profile 1 and Create New Profile. You can select Profile 1 and edit it, or create a new one and make changes to it. Once you select a profile, press the OK button to load it. Once the profile is loaded, it becomes your current profile.
Profiles are primarily used in order to utilize your scope on various weapons. This way, when moving your scope from one gun to the next, you can simply select the Profile that you have already created for the particular gun you are using. Multiple profiles are also used to zero in the scope, on the same gun, but at different ranges. For example, one Profile may be called AR 50 yards and another AR 200 yards. Allowing you to create two separate profiles to better fine tune your shooting solutions for both shorter and longer range shooting.
In order to change the profile name to what you want, open the ATN Connect 5 app and connect your Phone/Tablet to your scope.
To zero your rifle with the ATN device, follow the next few steps.
Zeroing Scope:
In the System Settings, Select the Profiles/Zero Tab. The main Subcategories of the Profiles/Zero are Current, Other, Import from SD card and Export to SD card. Select Current, by pressing the OK button. There you will see Zero Reticle.
We suggest you fill out all the ballistic info, to the best of your ability, before proceeding to Zero. This will save you time when you want to use the Ballistic Calculator at a later time.
Proceed to Zero the Reticle. Press the OK button to select Zero Reticle. You will see on your screen a cross hair reticle. While keeping the gun as steady as possible, fire a round. Use the key pad to move the Red cross hair to the point of impact. While keeping the White crosshair in the same place you where aiming. Once you have placed the Red crosshair on the POI, press the OK button. A dialogue box will appear with options. Select Save & Exit.
NOTE:
Although you may not need more then one shot to Zero in your scope, we do recommend that you repeat the process several times to make sure that you truly are Zeroed in. As you gain experience in Zeroing in your scope it should take you no time at all to Zero it.
NOTE:
In order to fine tune your zero, select the Zero Reticle once more. Press the OK button and select Zoom. Zoom in all the way and fire the weapon. If your POI is not where you aimed, move the Red reticle to the POI and Exit & Save. This will ensure your POI is the same on optical (base) and maximum magnification.
NOTE:
It is normal for your scopes X/Y coordinates to change when switching resolutions. This will apply to not just changing the resolution while in day mode but also when switching from day mode to night mode as the resolutions are different. The reason you will see the coordinates change is due to how many pixels are being used by your scope in that setting. This does not affect your zero when switching resolutions.
When writing down your X/Y coordinates for future use, write down the resolution you are in as well.
LASER RANGEFINDER MODELS
Using the integrated Laser Rangefinder will give you precise measurement of distance to target, up to 1000 yards.
NOTE:
Once the distance is measured, the value will be automatically inte- grated into your Ballistic Calculator and used for the ballistic calculations.
While on the Homescreen Press the FUNCTION 1 button to activate the Laser Rangefinder (LRF). The LRF reticle will appear and the laser emitter will start sending impulses. The reticle has slightly open center where the laser impulse will be impacting the target between 100 meters (109 yards) and infinity:
Keep the scope as steady as possible while having the rangefinder reticle on your Target. The laser will send impulses towards your target and when it is able to successfully measure the distance will update the value in the center bottom of your Homescreen. Once the reticle of the LRF disappears, the measurement session is finished.
Distance entry
Allows you to input or correct the distance manually. Choose the Distance Entry option to launch this function.
Change distance value using the Keypad buttons. To accept the new distance, press the OK button.

ZERO RANGEFINDER
NOTE:
Precise LRF zeroing has been performed in the assembly facility using a special setup. Any changes in the LRF zeroing could affect the accuracy of the measurements.
If your version of the X-Sight is equipped with a LRF, it opens an interface to zero the LRF reticle with the laser beam. Although it is zeroed at the asseьbly facility, if you want to do some corrections to the zeroing, the procedure can be performed as follows:
- Pick an appropriate setup for the zeroing.
During the day, it is recommended to perform the zeroing only indoors, since the intensity of the direct daylight will drown the laser impulses and will make it extremely difficult to see the impact point.
If you are performing the zeroing at 10 m. (11 yards), pick a darker place/object where the laser impulses impacts will be visible. Any garage, corridor, warehouse or big open space indoors will do.
If you are doing the zeroing at 100 meters (109 yards), pick a time of the day when it will be dark enough, so that the impulse impacts will be visible while in Night Mode. We recommend performing it at dusk/down or at night.
- Open the Shortcut Carousel and turn on Night Mode.
- Go again to SETTINGS -> PROFILES/ZERO -> ZERO RANGEFINDER and select it.
- The laser of the LRF will start sending pulses constantly and you will be able to see where they hit, depending on the environment illumination and the reflectivity of the objects.
If your environment is darker, the laser reflection will be visible further away.
- Using the direction keys, move the reticle of the LRF:
When aiming at an object at 100 meters (109 yards): Make sure the laser impulses impact the part of the reticle as illustrated below:
When aiming at an object at 10 meters (11 yards): Make sure the laser impulses impact the part of the reticle as illustrated below:
Make sure the brightest point of the beam is located as shown in the image!
- Confirm the changes
After You have performed the zeroing, test if the impulses are going exactly where the reticle is located. You can do that by measuring at the border between two objects that are at different distances and check when the laser measures the front object and when the back object. In Night Mode you will be able to see where exactly the laser is impacting.
