WARNING

take into consideration the following information and restrictions in order to avoid damag-

ing the device and to ensure a long service life and failure-free operation:
• Performance of the device in nighttime conditions depends on the level of ambient light in

the environment. Some light (moonlight, starlight, etc.) is required for the device to provide an

image.

• Ambient light level is reduced by the presence of clouds, shade, or objects that block natural

light (buildings, trees, etc.).
• The device loses its effectiveness when operated in shadowed areas.
• The effectiveness of the device is adversely affected by weather conditions such as rain,

snow, sleet, or fog, and environmental conditions such as smoke or dust.
• The device resolution level is reduced in environments with very low light sources. The vis-

ibility will degrade significantly under starlit conditions, particularly in low contrast environ-

ments such as deserts, large areas of uniform vegetation, etc.
• The device is equipped with a protection system that will automatically disable the image

intensifier tube when the illuminance level stays above 40 lux for over 10 seconds.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

1) Unscrew the battery compartment cap on the front side of the goggles body.
2) Insert the CR123A battery into the battery compartment in accordance with polarity markings.
