Mounting the sight closer to the bow may allow a better fit in some bow cases. 5 Using a 1/8 inch hex wrench, secure the mount using the included mounting screws . 6 Tighten the mounting screws to a maximum torque specification of 6.7 N-m (60 lbf-in). NOTE: Do not exceed the bow manufacturer's recommended torque values. Securing the Trigger 1 Position the ranging trigger on the grip of your bow where you can comfortably activate it at full draw. NOTE: You should confirm the trigger and the trigger cable are positioned so they do not interfere with the operation of the bow. Calibrating the Bow Sight The first time you turn on the Xero bow sight, you are prompted to go through initial setup steps. You can view tutorial videos at www.garmin.com/xerotutorials. 1 Select a language. 2 Select a unit of measure. 3 Select Yes to start the pin calibration procedure. 4 Select a ranged pin color (A1i model only). 5 If necessary, select Yes to adjust the pin and rangefinder reticle brightness and follow the on-screen instructions. 6 Set the primary pin (Setting the Primary Pin, page 2). 7 Select Done. 8 Align the rangefinder with the primary pin (Aligning the Rangefinder with the Primary Pin, page 3). 9 Select Done. 10Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the pin calibration procedure and set pins for additional distances. Torque Specifications When adjusting and tightening the mounting screws, you should ensure the screws are always tightened to a maximum torque specification of 2.2 N-m (20 lbf-in.). If you do not have a torque wrench, you can tighten the screws until the screw head makes contact with the mount surface, then tighten the screw an additional one quarter turn. Setting the Primary Pin The primary pin is a fixed point on the device optic that points along the same axis as the laser rangefinder. You can change the primary pin's alignment by adjusting the straight vertical and horizontal adjustments on the mount. After you set the primary pin, you can set additional pins for different distances using the device software. 1 Aim at a target that is a minimum distance of 15 m (15 yd.) away. NOTE: If you set your primary pin for farther distances, such as 30 m (33 yd.), you will have a farther maximum range, but 2 Calibrating the Bow Sight
