TESTING PROCEDURES
CAUTION:
Do not test the scope 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:

Verify that the battery is inserted into the battery compartment in accordance with polarity
markings on the goggles’ body.
2) Verify that the objective lens is closed securely.
3) Activate the unit by pushing the operation button, but without removing the protective caps. While
looking through the eyepiece of your Vega, 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 Vega.
1) Visually estimate the illuminance level in the viewing area. Operation with the objective lens cap
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.
