The Blue and Red Dots of F1/F1 Lite Aren’t Overlapped

What You See

When you use F1/F1 Lite, the blue and red laser should fall on the same spot. The overlapping of the two lasers creates a purple-like dot. However, sometimes you may find them separated. This guide will tell you how to align these dots.

How to Fix It

We can adjust the ball head at the bottom of the laser module. To do so, we'll need to go through two steps: auto-focus initialization and ball head adjustment.

 

#1 Initialize Auto-Focus

  1. Connect F1/F1 Lite to a computer and launch XCS.
  2. On the right panel, find "Use autofocus before init".
  3. Click on the word "Init" in green. Wait for the device to complete the initialization.

 

#2 Adjust the Ball Head

  1. Next to the laser outlet, you'll see a ball head and two screws near it.
  2. Loosen the screws a bit to make the ball head movable.
  3. Get a screwdriver and stick it into the bigger hole on the head.
  4. Adjust the ball head until the two laser dots overlap.
