CAUTION:
• The Spark is a precision electron-optical instrument, and must be handled carefully at all
times to prevent damage to the device and danger to the user.
•	 To	protect	the	intensifier	tube,	do not remove the lens cap of the Spark when the monocular 
is being operated in daylight conditions, or when the device is not in use. 
•	 Use	of	the	Spark	in	brightly	lit	conditions	may	damage	the	unit’s	intensifier	tube.
•	 Bright	 light	 sources	 such	 as	 firelight,	 headlights,	 searchlights,	 etc.	 can	 damage	 the	 Spark.	
Avoid exposing the unit to these types of light sources.
•	 DO	NOT	attempt	to	force	the	controls	past	their	stopping	points,	as	this	may	cause	damage	
to the mechanisms. 
•	 Before	replacing	the	intensifier	tube,	confirm	that	it	is	no	longer	covered	by	warranty.
•	 Do	not	store	the	equipment	with	the	battery	still	inserted.
•	 Clean	and	dry	each	component	of	the	Spark	thoroughly	before	placing	them	in	the	storage	
case.
NOTES:
•	 The	equipment	requires	some	ambient	light	(moonlight,	starlight,	etc.)	to	operate.	
•	 Performance	of	the	device	in	nighttime	conditions	depends	on	the	level	of	ambient	light	in	
the environment. Please remember the following:
— The level of ambient light is reduced by the presence of clouds, shade, or objects that block 
natural light (trees, buildings, etc.).
— The equipment is less effective when operated in shadows and other darkened areas.
— The equipment is less effective when operated in rain, fog, sleet, snow, dust or smoke.
— The equipment will not “see” through dense smoke.
•	 The	IR	illuminator	is	intended	for	increased	illumination,	as	needed,	when	viewing	at	a	close	
distance of up to 3m.
•	 The	Spark	is	not a weapon sight. However, it can be used in conjunction with a collimator dot 
sight or laser aiming device.
•	 For	the	purpose	of	returning	defective	components,	retain	all	packaging	materials.
