Quick Start
GET FAMILIAR WITH THE DEVICE
HOW TO FOCUS YOUR NIGHT VISION DEVICE
In a LIGHTED environment:
Step 1 Install Battery (battery not included).
Step 2 DO NOT REMOVE the LENS CAP.
The pinhole in the lens cap lets through a small amount of light.
Removing lens cap in daylight could damage the unit.
Step 3 Rotate the EYEPIECES clockwise until they stop.
Step 4 Press POWER button to turn device on.
Lens caps should still be installed on the device.
Step 5 Look through the EYEPIECE.
Look at an object across the room, and rotate EYEPIECE until object comes into focus.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are the projected images always green using Night Vision technology?
Night Vision phosphor screen is purposefully engineered because the human eye can differ-
entiate more shades of green than other colors.
How should I care for my Night Vision device?
Do not operate in lighted conditions, device is for use in the dark.
Do not drop the device. The internal intensifier tube is made of glass and is sensitive to impact.
Why do you focus both the front (Objective lens) and Eyepiece (Ocular)?
You do not see through the Night Vision device, like a day binocular. Rather you see the
phosphor screen on the back of the tube. The objective lens focuses the image on to the front
of the intensifier tube. That image is then converted into electrons. The electrons strike the
phosphorous screen converting electrical energy into a visible image. The eyepiece focuses
your vision on to the image on the phosphorous screen.
What is the effective range of Night Vision?
Maximum range is up to 700 ft. depending on the model. The maximum viewing distance
depends on the environmental conditions. Overcast conditions, fog or rain will reduce the
effective distance you can see. The Infrared Illuminator will increase viewing range, espe-
cially in areas of complete darkness where there is no ambient light.
What is the maximum effective distance of the Infrared Illuminator?
75 to 125 yds. The farther the object, the less intense the infrared light will be on the target.
Are Night Vision devices safe?
Night Vision products include shield-encased image intensifiers. The infrared illuminator uti-
lizes light emitting diodes (LED’s) operating in the infrared range and will not harm your eyes
like a laser.
Recognize that the image produced on the phosphorous screen can be very bright. Staring into
a very bright light causes the pupil to constrict. Your eye needs time to adjust to ambient light.
When can I expose the unit to light?
For demonstration purposes there is a pinhole in the lens cap, which enables you to power on
the unit in the light. The lens cap can be taken off during daylight, but the unit has to be off.
What is Generation 1? How does it differ from other Generations of Night Vision devices?
Generation 1, 2, 3 and 4 all employ electron bombardment technology. All of these technolo-
gies convert light into electrons and reproduce the image on a phosphorous screen.
Generation 1 produces a higher resolution image than Generation 2.
Generation 3 and 4 are used by the United States Military and are very expensive.
Generation 2, 3 and 4 use a fiber optic device and/or special chemicals to further amplify light.
