ITEM NO. CONTROL FUNCTION
1 POWER SWITCH
Switches the IR illuminator on/off and adjusts for radiated power.
Four ON positions are located between the two OFF positions, and
are each marked with a different-sized spot. The larger the spot, the
greater the radiated power.
2 LENS FOCUS
Adjusts for IR beam divergence. Adjustment range is covered with
approximately one turn of the lens.
3.3 OPERATING PROCEDURES
3.3.1 OPERATING THE BIT
CAUTION:
DO NOT force the equipment controls past their stopping points.
CAUTION:
Although the Bit is highly resistant to damage from light overload, DO NOT point it, either pow-
ered or un-powered, directly at the sun or any other source of high intensity light that the un-
protected human eye cannot tolerate (such as welding arc). To prevent exposure to these types
of sources, never leave the equipment unsupervised with the objective lens cap removed.
Operating procedures are as follows:
1. Remove the Bit from the carrying case.
2. Remove the objective lens cap.
3. Point the equipment at an object.
4. Activate the Bit by turning the turn-pull switch to the ON position. After approximately 3 sec, video
of the scene should appear.
5. Adjust the Bit for your eyesight by turning the eyepiece focus ring CW up to the stop, and then CCW
until the display and symbols are as clear as possible. Bring the object into focus by turning the ob-
jective focus ring (CW for long-range focus, CCW for close-range focus).
