Does this sight automatically turn on with movement or do you have to turn it on to use it

Sight will automaticly shut itself off. Slight movement does turn itself back on. I have had the same battery for over 1 1/2 years and it works flawlessly.

There is a switch on the side to select 1. On all the time 2. Off all the time and 3. Comes on when motion is detected. In the motion detected mode, the light will stay on a minute or so with no new motion detected or stay on with continuous motion detected. A great feature is that it can tell when a room light is already on and doesn't come on at all. The unit is very sensitive and if pointed toward the doorway of a room will turn on every time someone passes. To fix that we simple angle the unit away from the doorway so that it only turns on when someone is actually in the room.

Once it is set, it will go off when it detects movement. No need for a remote.

Yes it does. When activated, you will not be able to see the reticle without night vision goggles because it becomes infra red.Beware of cheap knockoffs. These will not have a QR barcode on the bottom side of the sight and when the night vision button is pressed, the reticle will often turn green instead of disappear.I own one of these sights and I love it! Kinda hurts to say you spent $500 on it, but it is worth every penny. Although I will probably never use the nightvision, I bought it just in case. The ones with night vision are also more waterproof. All the info can be seen on eotech's website Yes it does.

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.

This light does not react to motion. It has an ambient light sensor that prevents it from turning on when the sun is up, etc. To make it turn on under all conditions, simply cover the light sensor with some black electrical tape. The older versions of this light had a dark plug included for you to use, but LOA stopped including this in their packaging years ago.

The firing pin pushes against the back of the sighter when the trigger is pulled, pushing in a switch that activates the laser. Some pistols keep the firing pin depressed, keeping the light on(I.E. Ruger). Some pistols retract the firing pin, turning off the light(I.E. Sig). I guess with a rest, you could sight in the bore usingthe trainer.

well it's very unique and a feature that compelled me to buy several of these in various configs. The thing is with most red dot or illuminated reticle scopes you have to turn them ON and OFF. The on part is easy. But if you forget to turn it off, when you need it, it's going to be dead. MST turns the FireDot on INSTANTLY upon motion like when you address the weapon. It turns off after 10 mins of no motion. It's an amazing feature and one I am surprised that more oems don't implement.

Sir - this is a passive optic requiring NO electronics, NO batteries it slides onto a picatinny rail or weaver mount. My sight fit very tightly onto the picatinny rail of my defender shotgun. I had to tap it on with a rubber mallet before tightening the set screws. When you look thru the sight there is a horizontal crosshair line that runs atop a target centering triangle. There are elevation & windage (up/down; right/left) adjustment to "sight in" the optic!

When I used mine it was auto motion, I did not ever have to switch anything. Maybe there is a switch I never found.

Make sure the "buttons" on the batteries are pointing toward the inside of the sight. I Stacked mine with the buttons pointing up then sat the sight on top of them and slid it to the edge of the table, putting my finger on the edge and flipped the sight over and screwed the switch cap on. This will make sure the batteries didn't flip over when I was putting them in. If that doesn't work, you might have bad batteries or a bad switch. Hope this helps. When you get it working, it's a pretty good sight. Real good in low light, you can see it for a long way off.

Hi George, Its motion activated, thats the only thing I use it for, If it is staying on for some reason then there is a defect

The red dot has to be turned on with a good battery for the reticle to be visible. In the off position or with a dead battery there is no reticle

It is a choice on the menu. You have either normal mode or turn on motion mode.

Yes it does. I just have to make sure the red dot is pointed right at the flag, and I'm getting accurate distances. The best way to use it is to hold it up to your eye (I wear glasses and no need to take them off). Pull the trigger once to line up the dot and then again. I sometimes repeat it to make sure it picked up the right spot I was aiming. Overall I'm extremely happy with it. Have used it about 10 rounds and battery still going strong.

If you leave it on,the sensor will turn off automatic after a preset time and will turn on when the scope is moved.
