NIGHT VISION

Before you use your new night vision product, let’s try to
understand how this device works and what it can and
cannot do:

1. Your night vision device 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
condition, which allows you to see well with your
naked eye!

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…oh,

and another important point – all night vision devices
have green monochrome image – why green? Because
human eye can distinct most details of the viewing

image when presented in green color…other colors do
not show you everything…

3. Another very important notice – since your night

vision device amplifies available light hundreds of times
– please be sure not to turn the unit on during daylight
or in a well-lit room – the image will be way too bright
for your comfortable viewing and it also may
permanently burn the tube inside the unit and will surely
void your warranty. Please note that for the safety of
this device it has lens covers with a little pinhole – to
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. In addition to the lens covers,
we have equipped this unit with a light protection
sensor, located near the front lens, which detects great
amount of light and prevents the unit from being
accidentally turned on during bright light conditions.
