There is a lift on that cross bow right? It should click and raise the scope up or lower. If not check out the HHA optimizer for it. Its a great addition to any crossbow!

1 to 10 should be for brightness. sight the top red dot in for 20 yrds and the next two should be on at 30 and 40 yrds thats how my scope on my excalibur is.

I'm not a fan of the red dot scopes. My shooting was horrible with it. I switched to a normal rifle scope and my groups improved 1000% percent. On my X-Bow the Red Dot scope sat really and I had not solid rest on the butt stock of the X-Bow. So my consistency in shooting it was horrible. My arrows were grouping 8-12".
Once I switched to a regular rifle scope I could barley keep the bolts from touching each other.
