WARNINGS:
When used in total darkness, the light from the unit’s infrared (IR) illuminator is invisible to •
the unaided eye. However, the light can be detected by other Night Vision Devices (NVD).
To reduce the risk of detection by another NVD, avoid prolonged activation of the IR illumi-
•
nator.
The IR light is more easily detected by an NVD when used in smoke, fog and rain. Avoid pro-
•
longed activation of the unit’s IR illuminator in these conditions.
The intensifier’s phosphor screen contains toxic materials. Please note the following:
•
If the intensifier tube breaks, be extremely careful to avoid inhaling the phosphor screen —
material. DO NOT allow the material to come in contact with your mouth, eyes, or any
open wounds on the skin.
If the phosphor screen material comes in contact with your skin, wash it off immediately
—
with soap and water.
If you inhale or swallow any phosphor screen material, drink a lot of water, induce vomit-
—
ing, and seek medical attention as soon as possible.
