FOCUSING
1) Adjust the diopters. For the best possible image resolution, you must first adjust the eyepieces (di-
opters). Turn the diopter adjustment rings clockwise until it stops. While looking through the eyepiec-
es, observe the scene and slowly begin turning the diopter adjustment rings counterclockwise until
the image becomes clear and sharp.
2) Adjust the focus of the lenses. To focus your Ninox at different distances, simply rotate the objective
lens focus rings.
TESTING PROCEDURES
CAUTION:
Do not test the device in daylight conditions for more than 10 minutes, even with lens protec-
tive cap on.
To check device operation in daylight or in an illuminated room observe the following procedures:
1) Verify that the battery is inserted into the battery compartment in accordance with polarity mark-
ings on the goggles’ body.
2) Verify that the objective lenses are closed securely.
3) Activate the unit by pushing the operation button, but without removing the protective caps. While
looking through the eyepieces of your Ninox, observe the scene. Verify whether or not the green light
is indicating that correct IIT operation is occurring.
OPERATION IN NIGHTTIME CONDITIONS
CAUTION:
Avoid exposing the goggles to bright light sources. Bright light emitted by fires, automobile
headlights, lanterns, projectors, etc. will cause serious damage your Ninox.
1) Visually estimate the illuminance level in the viewing area. Operation with the objective lens caps
off is safe when the illuminance level is less than 1 lux; at an illuminance level of 1 lux, you will
barely be able to read a newspaper, even after your eyes have adapted to the low light conditions.
2) Verify that the battery is inserted into the battery compartment in accordance with the polarity
markings on the goggles’ body.
3) Remove the front lens caps.
4) Activate the unit by pushing the operation button. A green light indicating correct IIT operation will
appear after a momentary delay.
