CAUTION:
• The PVS-14 and 6015 are precision optical instruments and must be handled carefully at all
times to prevent damage.
• Be careful when leaving the helmet mount in the flipped up position or removing the helmet
mount from the helmet, damage can result.
• Do not scratch the external lens surfaces or touch them with your fingers.
• Wiping demisting shield with lens paper while wet or with wet lens paper can damage the
coating.
• To protect the image intensifier, keep the lens cap on the objective lens when the monocular
is not in use or when checked out in daylight conditions.
• The IR illuminator is the light that is invisible to the unaided eye for use during conditions of
extreme darkness. However, the light from the illuminator can be detected by others when us-
ing night vision devices.
• If you use the rubber eyecaps for a long period of time, you may suffer skin inflammation. If you
develop any symptoms, consult a doctor immediately.
NOTES:
To avoid physical and equipment damage when using the PVS-14 and 6015, carefully read and
understand the following safety precautions.
• The equipment requires some night light (moonlight, starlight, etc.) to operate. The level of
performance depends upon the level of light.
• Night light is reduced by passing cloud cover, while operating under trees, in building shad-
ows, etc.
• The equipment is less effective viewing into shadows and other darkened areas.
• The equipment is less effective through rain, fog, sleet, snow or smoke.
• The equipment will not “see” through dense smoke.
• At operating temperatures below -20°C (-4°F), alkaline batteries are not recommended, as
operating life will be severely reduced. Lithium-iron disulfide 1.5V AA batteries or equivalent
should be used below -20°C (-4°F).
• The purpose of the illuminator is to view at close distance up to 3 meters when additional il-
lumination is needed.
