IR ILLUMINATOR OPERATION
CAUTION:
Do not forget that light emitted from the IR illuminator is invisible to the naked eye; however, it
can be easily detected when using night vision devices.
Infrared illuminators are used in areas where the level of light is not sufficient for surveillance. An IR
illuminator can provide an extra source of infrared light, which, although invisible to a naked eye, can
greatly enhance the performance of night vision devices. Turn on the IR illuminator when working in
total darkness. Please remember that the beam emitted by your IR illuminator will lose its brightness
over distance. The built-in IR illuminator is designed to provide additional source of light for reading
maps or other basic, short-range applications; the viewing distance is up to 3m.
You can activate the IR illuminator of your goggles by pushing the operation button a second time after
you’ve turned the unit on. A green LED light will appear when the IR illumination is turned on.
NOTE:
The IR will automatically turn off when the unit’s main power is turned OFF.
OPTIONAL IR810 ILLUMINATOR
IR810 long-range infrared illuminator provides greater viewing capabilities when the environment has
little or no ambient light.
To mount an IR810 Long Range Infrared Illuminator to the Vega, use the optional Dovetail to Weaver
Transfer Piece. Perform the following steps:
1) Install the transfer piece onto one of the Vega rails.
2) Tighten the two fixing screws on the transfer piece.
3) Loosen the IR illuminator fixing screw.
4) Mount the IR illuminator on the Weaver rail of transfer piece and tighten the fixing screw.

The Vega should always be stored in the supplied packaging, particularly in heated and ventilated
rooms. To keep the device operational, please follow the instructions listed previously regarding prep-
arations for storage. The battery should be stored separately from the device and be inserted into the
battery compartment only when the device is being prepared for use. The presence of both acids and
alkalis near the goggles is not recommended.
When stored, your Vega should be protected from exposure to direct sunlight or extreme tempera-
tures.
