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.
