My “shake awake” doesn’t work, it’s on setting 1; when i shake it or draw my canik the optic doesn’t turn on. Is it meant to? I figured that’s what shake awake meant

Glad it was helpful!

@@freedomgorilla1 i got a question about why my 507k won't enter sleep mode. it's been in one spot for 20 mins and isn't in sleep mode, any explanation?

Thanks for watching

Our pleasure!

Thanks for watching!

It’s up to you. They don’t come Loctited from the factory but we do hear of ppl losing them. So maybe a dab of purple Loctite isn’t a terrible idea

Doesn’t sound like a setting. Hit up holosun support, they’re awesome and can look into why!

First thing I would try is a new battery. I’ve heard of it happening before. If a new battery doesn’t work, reach out to Holosun support and they’ll be able to help out!

Remove battery,clean w/alcohol 👍

There are 4 sleep modes: 10 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours and no sleep mode. It seems that you are stuck in the 4th mode (no shake awake). Get it back into the setting function mode for sleep and hit the minus (-) button to cycle backward to the sleep time out you want (unlike that red dot setting which cycles from auto -> manual -> lock and back again).

I have the same issue and I have done everything you re saying above and still after setting it to 1 (10 mins) the dot never appears. It’s to days now I’m trying. I think mine it’s defective

Any movement will turn it on, but generally they have a 50k hour battery life on setting 6 which is basically 5.5 years of continual use

There was a video in which the guy put his sight on the table while it was off. When he approached his finger to just touch it, the sight was back on. It's super sensitive.

The + button on the side, you have to hold it down

Thank u kindly

The manual is truly part of the problem, as the steps in the manual don't match this process to the letter. Matter of fact, they need to redo the manual and include the link to this video for assistance on the setting!

Great question - Shake awake is meant to save the battery life when not in use. When you're carrying you'd want the dot to already be on incase you had to use it. If the battery usage is a concern, a lot of commenters say they swap out the battery once a year. Depending on what setting you have the dot on it should last between 20k-50k hours, which is more than enough to swap it out yearly

It could be that it’s in the “off” mode for shake awake, following the video should help you fix it. When shake awake is enabled, it should instantly turn on when you pick it up

​@@freedomgorilla1 Could be that I am just an idiot - But you didnt mention a off mode for shake awake and how tonget it out of said off mode. Just a mode where it just is always on. Man my red dot shuts off as it should, but I cant get it to shake awake

If it auto sleeps after 10 minutes then it is enabled. Shake awake just means the 507k will turn off the dot until you pick up the pistol then it auto turns on

@@freedomgorilla1​​⁠the 507K won't turn on after moving around until I press +/- button.. How do I get it to turn on automatically? TY.

@@freedomgorilla1any update here? My 507K won't shake awake on unless I manually press the +/-.

I had the problem too. I fixed it by shutting the whole unit off. Apparently, this is the reset needed to get everything working, to access the sleep mode.

@@esabzb That worked! Thank you

@@davemiller505 Dave, I'm glad that helped. I bought the last unit in the store, which was being used as the demo. I wasn't sure what sleep mode it was in. Once I reset it, I found that it was still in the default 10 minute sleep mode, which is exactly where I left it. Ray

If a new battery didn’t work, hit up their support and do a warranty claim 😃

@@freedomgorilla1 it did work but like 16hrs later when I put a new battery.at night it turned off randomly and when I clicked it to turn it on it didn’t wanna turn on until it hit sunlight then it turned on

When in doubt, remove the battery, wait 30 seconds, and put it back in. Press + or - to turn on. Shake awake and 10 min sleep is enabled by default from Mfr.

Same issue for me. Have a found a solution?

@@matthewtrevino4787 Yep I sure did. I just started over. Took out battery, followed instuctions again but you know when you're suppose to gold the button for 10 sec? Well it does a flash at 3 seconds, then it does another later. thatt leads you to believe it's 10 sec, but it isn't hold it for a full 10 secs. At the end don’t press the + and - signs to “set it” after selecting the time delay. Just put it down somewhere where you can walk up to it after however long you set it for to turn off. This way whe you go up to it, and just look through it without waking it up, you can see it's off. I set my on the bed ass up leaned against a pillow. Sure enough it was off. However because the dot can be hard to find, move your head around without toching it to make sure it actually is turned off. Then if it is, pic it up and see if turns off. GL

Perhaps it's defective. Send it in for warranty work.

Myn would do the opposite, so I now have it on 24/7 lol…

It is

@@freedomgorilla1 Google stuff where do RU-vid searches all the time rather than look for an owner's manual, even when I already have the info elsewhere
