Holosun Sleep Timer & Shake Awake Explained

- In today's video we examine Holosun's Sleep Timer Adjustment & Shake Awake settings! #holosun #shakeawake
This will apply to all Holosun pistol optics like the 407/507K, 407/507C, 508T, 509T, EPS, and EPS Carry. It applies to both red and green dots, as well as the ACSS variation.
It will not apply to any of the SCS optics because they do not have shake awake.
If you're interested in learning more about Holosun products, check out freedomgorilla.com
In case anybody is lost:
-The Sleep Timer Setting / “Shake Awake” is not part of the Auto-Manual-Lock cycle.
-If your reticle is not turning on/off it is because the Sleep Timer Setting is on Setting 4 (sleep mode disabled).
-To enter, press the “+” for 10 seconds, wait around 30 seconds and hold “+” until it turns back on. Now pressing “-“ decreases the sleep time and “+” increases it. Press “+” and “-“ simultaneously to save this setting now.
My friend, thank you for making a video and putting it on the Internet of something that actually answers the question I was looking for lol. Much appreciated
This was perfect. Had the angle right, concise instruction, and a second once over for clarification. Following
Best video out there to show how the settings works on this sight
Ty glad we could help!
I’m lil slow so this helps a lot I’m excited to take it out Sunday 5.7x28 my wallets empty now light for fn then next is b&t
This helped me a ton finally got around to setting this optic up properly. Thanks a million. 🎉
I had my 407c X2 on my glock 34 for about 8 months before I found this video, great explanation, and great video!
Thank u!
Thanks, you saved me from some huge confusion. Just received my 512T and the manual was telling me to hold the + button for 3 seconds, which is also the instruction to toggle between solar mode and battery only mode.
Good to know: on my 512T, I had to be on battery mode beforehand. This way, the 1st blink at the 3 seconds mark will switch it into solar mode, which is the only mode in which you can configure the Shake Awake.
When I tried holding it for 10 seconds while I was already in solar mode, it switched into battery mode, and the second blink at the 10 seconds mark never came.
Thank you for the video
Actually seeing this helped so much more than the ridiculous manual they sent with the red dot.
Thank you again!
Thumbs up and subbed👍👍👍
Thank you for the sub!
Idk about everyone else’s model but I held down the plus button for 10 seconds then let it blink the number of times the correlate with the plus or minus buttons but DO NOT TURN IT OFF after that. Let it go off on its own according to the time you set
This is the only way it worked for me hopefully more people can see this comment ‼️
Holy shit bro this is the exact optic I purchased and this is the exact video I needed. Thank you so much! I thought my shake awake was broken but it was just on the 4 blink setting! Thanks dude
Glad we could help, thanks for watching!
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
Thank you for uploading this very detailed and concise video. It was extremely helpful.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks, a huge help thought my 407k had messed up that it wouldnt adjust the brightness. I was on sleepmode.
Absolutely interesting and a great explanation. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
THANK YOU! Your video was very easy to understand and very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Just what I needed to know, thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Both of my 510c will never shake awake. I’m going to mess with it later and watch your video again. Thank you.
This is the video the people need and want 👌🏾
Thanks for watching! We appreciate the support 😄
agreed!! 🤙👍
Hello, I have a Holosan EPS rm. The dot looks distorted and crumpled. When you press minus for 3 seconds and move on to the next image, another circle, larger and full of mixed lines, is shown. how can i fix this
Thank you so much!

Very helpful...thank you Sir!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for that! 👍🏻
I wanted to know more about shake awake demonstrated !Thats critical for Concealed carry
I may have missed it but how do you turn or the shake awake function back on after it has been manually turned off?

@@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 that!
Our pleasure!
Thank you
Thank you I just subbed mam🎉
Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
It will not turn off by holding down + and - at same time for Holosun 407K. Can u help please? It’s new.
Thank you!!! Thought I bought a dud. I guess I'm the dud for not cracking open the manual to read smh. Thanks man! Sub'd
Thank u kindly
come faccio ad impostarlo su luminosità automatica?
OK so unrelated question I ordered spare screws for the battery tray from freedom gorilla should I use a smidge of Loctite or am I just not screwing it on tight?
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
My holosun 508t goes to sleep after 10 mins but does not wake up, I have to always push a button for that. Any thoughts?
Doesn’t sound like a setting. Hit up holosun support, they’re awesome and can look into why!
Just got a 407K and for some reason the optic will not turn back on after going into sleep mode it will not turn back on after picking up the sight. Any suggestions?
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 👍
I’m not understanding how to turn shake awake back on. Can I get some advice please! Thank you!
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
If you carry with this optic with shake awake will walking around turn it on or only when you draw it from the holster?
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.
Thanks dudw
So is it shake awake for 10m 1 hour and 12 hours or it takes 10m to sleep i cant get mine to shake awake.
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
What do you press to get into adjustment mode?
The + button on the side, you have to hold it down
I have a 507K, and I mistakenly disabled Shake Awake.
How can I enable Shake Awake? It still auto sleeps after 10 mins.
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
@@freedomgorilla1the 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 have set this so many times, and it just will not sleep. Hold for 10 sec, you will get a blink about about 3-4 sec, then another at 10sec. Then I can move up or down. I want 10 mins, so I set it to 1 blink. Then it's doesn't matter if I turn it off, or if I just leave it as. It will never auto off or shake awake. That feature just has never worked for me. 3 months of trying and still nothing.
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.

Perhaps it's defective. Send it in for warranty work.
Myn would do the opposite, so I now have it on 24/7 lol…
Wouldn't having it on auto kill the battery life when carrying?
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
Need to change sensitivity. It turns on when walking in the holster
I can’t seem to get mine in the sleep time mode. It always blinks once after 3 seconds but never blinks again no matter how long I keep pressing
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
My holosun turns off and doesn’t wanna turn on when I use it like it turns on when it wants but I put anew battery
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
Red or green?
Damn, I just changed my battery
Pretty sure this is all in the owner's manual
It is
@@freedomgorilla1 Google stuff where do UA-cam searches all the time rather than look for an owner's manual, even when I already have the info elsewhere
