[sycamorebirds 6]

hi all,

 

I have been given a tasco 3-9x40 scope which apparentlyhas an illuminated reticle. however the battery has gone flat. I have a spare battery but could some one please tell me (a) where it goes and 9b0 how do i change it.

 

thanks in advance

Not sure if yours is the same, but one my one, on the little "knob" on the top where you adjust the brightness (nearer the eye peice) and it can be undone with a flat head screw driver then just pop the battery out (watch type) with a tooth pick after unscrewing the holder for it.

 

when putting the new one in i have to be bit careful where i position the holder as this affect the switch so it dont correspond to the dial on the knob ...but thats just me being pidantic you cant see the number when you need the illuminated reticle.

Mine is the same, top of knob turns on brightness and changes the colour, hold it further down and it unscrews the battery compartment.
