SAFETY SUMMARY
• Read and follow all instructions
• Read all warnings
• Only use the attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer
• All maintenance must be done by the manufacturer
WARNING:
This product contains natural rubber latex, which may cause potentially fatal allergic reactions! If
you are allergic to latex, it is important that you strictly avoid exposure to products that contain it.
WARNING:
The intensifier’s phosphor screen contains toxic materials.
Please note:
• 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 vomiting, and
seek medical attention as soon as possible.
WARNING:
• When used in total darkness, the light from the unit’s infrared (IR) illuminator is invisible to the
naked eye. However, the light can be detected by other Night Vision Devices (NVD).
• To reduce the risk of detection by another NVD, avoid prolonged use of the IR illuminator.
• Light from the IR illuminator is more easily detected by other NVDs when used in fog, smoke,
and rain. Avoid prolonged use of the IR illuminator in these conditions.
• Do not use contaminated eyecups. If it is contaminated, it must be replaced.

CAUTIONS:
The FoxBat night vision bi-ocular is a precision electro-optical instruments and require careful
handling. Please follow the below instructions of safe use:
• Do not disassemble the unit.
• Keep the unit clean; protect it from moisture, sudden temperature drops and shocks.
• Be careful not to touch the glass surfaces. If you leave fingerprints on, or contaminate the glass
surfaces, use only clean and soft materials to clean it.
• Protect the unit from excessive lighting. Do not turn the bi-ocular on in daylight with the front
lens cap off. Do not point the bi-ocular at the bright light source (a fire, car headlights, lanterns,
street lamps, room lights, etc.).
• Do not test the device in daylight conditions even with the daylight filter/lens cap on for more
than ten (10) minutes.
• Do not leave the unit in the ON position during breaks in operation.
• Remove the battery from the unit when it will be stored for more than 3 days. Failure to do so
may damage the unit.
EQUIPMENT LIMITATIONS
To avoid injuries and equipment damage from using the FoxBat, carefully read and consider the
following equipment limitations.
• The equipment requires some night light (moonlight, starlight, etc.) to operate. The level of
equipment performance depends upon the level of light.
• The amount of night light is reduced when passing through the clouds, while operating under
trees, under the shadows of houses, etc.
• The device is less effective when peering into shadows and other darkened areas.
• The device is less effective in viewing through rain, fog, sleet, snow or smoke.
• The equipment will not “see” through dense smoke.
• Its protection system cuts off the image intensifier when ambient light level continues to
exceed of 40 lux for 10 seconds or more.
• Under starlight conditions, low contrast environments (such as snow-covered territory, sandy
deserts, large bodies of water or grassy hills) degrade visibility thereby disguising or masking
changes in terrain.
• Under too low-light conditions the device loses some of the resolution it has under full moon
conditions.
