In addition, the dial offers an Auto-Brightness setting that automaticallyadjusts to surrounding light conditions, removing the need for manualadjustments. Lastly, the rotary dial allows EOTECH to incorporate Shake-Awaketechnology that puts the optic in sleep mode after a period of inactivity. Thisprogrammable sleep mode can be set to 10 minutes, 1-hour, 12-hours, ordisabled completely. This feature works in all daytime, NV, and auto-brightsettings and preserves battery life, while powering the optic on with only theslightest movement.The EXPS3 HD weighs the same as the legacy EXPS (11.2 oz) and is powered by a single, CR123lithium battery.
