Vortex Strikefire red dot issue

[robab]

Hi guys
Have a vortex strikefire 2 on my ar. The dot is green. It used to be red which I prefer. I hold the button to change to red but no luck. I really don't want to send it back and wait then zero it again etc. any thoughts.

Strikefire or Strikefire II?

With the Red/green model you don't press and hold to turn green. You just click the power button quickly once. Press and hold is only on/off.

It's a strike fire 2 and I've tried quickly pressing the button as per the instructions. Perhaps I'll just send back.

Contact them first, see if they can help. If not, try to request a shipping label.

Try a fresh battery.

Make sure you don't have the night switch on.
It appears as a low-intensity dot.
