It's motion activated. If you are in a car or sitting down it will be off. Gentle walking might keep it off as well but major movement definitely turns it on.I have a question about the Romeo 1. Does it turn on when you are carrying it in a holster on your hip? I would think the designers would set it up so the motion sensor would keep the optic off when it is in a vertical position (or near vertical position) and turn on when it is moved into a shooting position.
Is this how it works?
Adding to this, it almost seems like the gun needs to be a direction other than pointing straight down. Ive tried to see if my optic is on standing at a match holstered and i don't think ive been able to see the dot.It's motion activated. If you are in a car or sitting down it will be off.
