IR IlluMInATOR OPERATIOn
cAuTIOn:
Do not forget that light emitted from the IR illuminator light is invisible to the naked eye; how-
ever, it can be easily detected when using night vision devices.
Infrared illuminators are used in areas where the level of light is not sufficient for surveillance. An IR illumi-
nator can provide an extra source of infrared light, which, although invisible to the naked eye, can greatly
enhance the performance of night vision devices. Turn on the IR illuminator when working in total darkness.
Please remember that the beam emitted by your IR illuminator will lose its brightness over distance.
You can activate the IR illuminator of your monocular by pushing the IR button. A red indicator light will
appear when the IR illuminator is turned on.
nOTE:
The IR will automatically turn off when the unit’s main power is turned OFF.

The Prime DC should always be stored in the supplied packaging, particularly in heated and ventilated
rooms. To keep the device operational, please follow the instructions listed below regarding prepara-
tions for storage. The battery should be stored separately from the unit and be inserted into the battery

near the monocular is not recommended.
When stored, your Prime DC should be protected from exposure to direct sunlight or extreme tem-
peratures.
MOnOculAR clEAnInG PROcEDuRES
1) Gently remove any dirt from the monocular’s body using a clean, soft cloth.
2) Wipe external surfaces down (with the exception of optical surfaces) with a clean cloth moistened
with pure water.
3) Dry all wet surfaces with a different clean, dry cloth.
4) Carefully remove any dirt from the optical surfaces using a lens brush.
5) To avoid scratches, optical surfaces must be cleaned using a clean cotton swab that has been slight-
ly dampened with pure alcohol. The glass should be wiped in circular motions starting from the center
and moving out towards the edge, without touching the barrel. Change the cotton swab as soon as it
becomes dirty.
