IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT NIGHT VISION TECHNOLOGY

Without getting too technical and confusing, let’s try to understand how this

device works and what it can and cannot do:

1. Your night vision binocular works on the principle of amplifying
(intensifying) available light. The process is called light amplification. A
special tube inside the device does the job – all you have to do is to power
the device on and the tube starts amplifying whatever the light is available at
the moment – therefore it is important to understand that this device is not
suitable for daylight operation, since there is already enough light available
during daytime to see without any additional help. Therefore, the first and

most important rule of any night vision device is – never use it during
daylight or in any bright light conditions where you can see well with
your naked eyes!

2. Your night vision device operates with batteries. Unlike a daylight

binocular, where you see the image due to light traveling through the glass

and the prisms, the night vision device works by projecting the amplified

image onto a screen. While the tube is the crucial component of any night
vision device, the optical parts of the unit are also very important, as they
gather the light into the tube and bring the projected image to your eye.
Since the image is projected on the screen, just like any TV, it has certain
limited resolution…so please do not expect your night vision device to provide
the same crystal clear image, as you see through your daylight binoculars –
after all, you are using this device in the dark environment, where normally

your vision would be very limited…

3. Another very important notice – since your night vision device amplifies

available light hundreds of times – the sensitive tube(s) inside the unit may be
completely ruined if you turn the unit on during daylight or in a well-lit room.
Please note that for the safety of this device it has protective lens covers with
little pinholes so you can test the unit during daytime when you bring your
newly bought unit home, or in the shop before you buy it. Please keep these
lens covers on during daytime – even if the unit is turned off.
