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 is a Generation I device.

Your Night Vision device is ideal for a variety of professional and recreational uses including the following:

• Wild Life Observation

• Astronomy

• Boating / Marine Use

• Police / Law Enforcement

• Search and Rescue

• Security

• Property Management

Your Night Vision device offers the worlds’ only Built-In Dual Beam Infrared Illuminator for short and long distance viewing! This allows you to choose how you wish to disperse the infrared light. Using low beam simply spreads the infrared beam of light out in all directions. If you desire to send a pinpoint of infrared light to an object far away, use the high beam infrared light. Switch between High and Low by pressing the button (4) located above the eyepiece.

Direct the device at an object at a distance approximately 100 yards and rotate the eyepiece (5) to give the best quality image. After the adjusting, do not rotate the eyepiece any longer irrespective of the distance and other conditions. Direct the device at the subject to be viewed and adjust the final focus by rotating the objective lens focusing ring until the image quality is optimal.

GETTING STARTED

Installing Batteries

This device operates on two AA batteries. To install, unscrew the battery compartment cover located on the bottom of the unit. Insert the batteries into the battery compartment so that the (+) and negative (-) terminals of the batteries match the markings inside the compartment. Replace the battery cover carefully – do not over tighten.

Use and T

esting This device operates on two AA batteries. Make sure they have been installed according to the instructions above.

If you wish to test your night vision device in a lighted area, be sure the objective lens cap is covering the objective lens (1) prior to pressing the “ON” button (2). The objective lens cap has a pinhole opening to admit a small amount of light for testing purposes.

If testing or using the device in the dark, remove the objective lens cap and activate the device by pushing the “ON” button (2).

Set the preliminary focus adjustment by placing the adjusting mark (located on top of the objective focusing ring) opposite the letter “N” in the word “Normal”(7).

If the subject is to be viewed in a completely dark area where no ambient light source (such as moonlight) is available, activate the Infrared Illuminator by pressing the Infrared Illuminator button (3) located next to the “ON” button.

Spots In The Image

You may see spots in the image. These vary from device to device and are cosmetic blemishes inside the device. These are normal for Night Vision devices and are NOT a defect.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Scope will not turn on.

Check that the batteries are installed properly. Replace the batteries with new ones. Check the battery contacts to ensure they are clean and free of corrosion. Check that the power is in the “ON” position.

Image is not focused.

Adjust the focus on the Eyepiece (5). Adjust the Objective Lens Focusing Ring. If still no improvement, clean the lenses; they may be foggy or dusty.

Visibility decreases or disappears.

Bright light sources such as headlights may cause visibility to degrade or disappear completely. Turn the Power OFF (2) 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.
