Image is not focused.

Adjust the focus on the Focusing Eyepiece. Adjust the Objective Lens Focusing Ring. You must be at least 1 ft. (30.5 cm) from the subject you are viewing. If still no improvement, clean the lenses; they may be foggy or dusty. (See To Focus).

Replace the battery in the Illuminator with a new one.

Visibility decreases or disappears.

Bright light sources such as headlights may cause visibility to degrade or disappear completely. Release the Power Button and turn the scope away from the light source. The unit will restore itself in 1 or 2 minutes. Conditions such as fog or extremely dark environments will decrease visibility.

Scope flashes.

The scope may flash when used in a bright environment. It may also flash during the first few seconds of use in dark environments.

Congratulations on the purchase of your Bushnell Night Vision Product. Bushnell Night Vision products are comprised of high quality image intensifier tubes and optics. Bushnell Night Vision products amplify existing light, allowing you to see in dark conditions too dark for the naked eye.

HOW NIGHT VISION WORKS

Bushnell Night Vision products collect and amplify existing light through the objective lens, which is then focused on the image intensifier. Inside the intensifier, a photocathode is "excited" by the light and converts the photon energy into electrons. These electrons accelerate across an electrostatic field inside the intensifier and strike a phosphor screen (like a green monochrome TV screen) which emits an image that you can see. It is the acceleration of electrons, which provides gain and enhances the image. This particular product is a Generation I device.

GETTING STARTED

Installing Batteries

• Open the Battery Compartment Cover.

• Connect a 9V battery to the connector and place it inside the compartment.

• Close the Battery Compartment Cover.

Using The Power Button

• Never turn the scope on in daylight conditions with the lens cap off. The pinhole in the lens cap allows you to test the scope in daylight conditions.

• To use the scope, depress and hold the Power Button located near the eyepiece.

• After you release the Power Button, the image will slowly fade out. This is normal and is not a defect.

To Focus

• First, remove the Lens Cap.

• Adjust the Objective Lens Focusing Ring to infinity.

• While looking at a distant object (at least 36 ft. away), adjust the Eyepiece Focusing Ring for the sharpest image.

• Once the Eyepiece Focusing Ring is adjusted, you need only adjust the Objective Lens Focusing Ring as needed.

To Activate The IR Illuminator

• Your Bushnell Night Vision Product includes a built-in infrared illuminator. This allows you to see in complete darkness when no ambient light source is available.

• Pressing the momentary power button also activates the infrared illuminator.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Spots in the Image.

You may see spots in the image. These vary from scope to scope and are cosmetic blemishes inside the scope. These are normal for Night Vision scopes and are not a defect.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

• When not using for an extended amount of time, remove batteries and store the product in a dry location.

• Avoid turning the product on in extremely bright light conditions.

• Handle this product like you would a camera. Though Bushnell Night Vision products are durably constructed, the image intensifier tube consists of glass and is subject to breakage.

• Keep the optics clean. We recommend using a camera cleaner kit to clean the outside of the objective and eyepiece lenses. Follow the directions with the kit.

• Do not disassemble this product. Unauthorized disassembly not only voids the warranty but may also cause damage from the lack of special tools and techniques.
