CAUTION:
The PVS-7 is a precision optical instrument. To prevent damage to the unit, it should always •
be handled carefully.
Do not scratch the external lens surfaces or touch them with your fingers.
•
To protect the image intensifier, keep the lens cap securely fitted over the objective lens •
when the device is not in use, or when it is being used in daylight conditions.
The IR illuminator produces light that is invisible to a naked eye, so that it can be used in con-
•
ditions of extreme darkness. However, the IR light can be detected by other NVDs.
Use of rubber eyecups for extended periods of time may cause skin inflammation. If any
•
symptoms develop, consult a doctor immediately.
NOTES:
Do not test the device in daylight conditions for more than ten (10) minutes, even with the •
daylight filter/ lens cap on.
To protect the device from damage, do not direct it at bright light sources (fire, automobile
•
headlights, lanterns, etc.).
The purpose of the built-in IR illuminator is to provide additional illumination when neces-
•
sary while viewing scenes at close distances (up to 3 meters).
The unit is equipped with an Automatic Shut-off System. When the goggles are removed
•
from the head mount or helmet mount while turned on, they will turn off automatically. To
turn the unit on after automatic shut off, you will need to rotate the operation knob to the
OFF position first and then return it to the ON position.
To avoid physical danger to the user and damage to the equipment, carefully read and un-
•
derstand the following equipment limitations:
The equipment requires some ambient light (moonlight, starlight, etc.) to operate. —
Performance of the device in nighttime conditions depends on the level of ambient light —
in the environment. Please remember the following:
The level of ambient light is reduced by the presence of clouds, shade, or objects that •
block natural light (trees, buildings, etc.).
The equipment is less effective when operated in shadows and other darkened areas.
•
The equipment is less effective when operated in rain, fog, sleet, snow, dust or smoke. •
