II Product overview
1. Product features
Patent No：004596146-0001（Europe）201830003244.4（China）patent in America is
applying
Binoculars are equipped, in which one is the objective lens of the viewfinder and the other is
the infrared night vision light of fill-in light. It is equipped with 2-inch color display, featuring
high-definition camera, video and easy shooting of long-range target, time lapse function,
stamp GPS information on picture and video. It can connect an external TV or monitor for
real-time monitoring and synchronization. Black lightless observation distance is 400 meters,
and it supports 32G Micro SD card.

2. Product advantages
In the civilian area, the product can replace the traditional low-light night vision device, and has
a particularly significant advantage: It can be used day and night . It can take color
photos/videos at daytime and black and white photos/videos at night. The image brightness
is regulated through the circuit with good infrared ability. In the black conditions, it can be up to
400 meters effective observation distance. It can record the pictures, the video time is accurate,
and it has long-range real-time infrared monitoring and a long service life.
Ordinary low-light night vision device can’t be used during the daytime; otherwise the night
vision tube will burn. The effect is poor with low resolution, the effective resolution is only 24
line pairs, it is not sensitive to infrared, and plus infrared it is maximally up to 40-50 meters.
Internal high voltage boosted circuit is prone to failure, and its reliability is poor and glass tube
is fragile. Low light tube is not high temperature resistant and so the life is short, and the
magnification is small.
3. Applicable and use
(The illegal use is prohibited; otherwise, you must bear your own responsibilities.) Hunting
and animal observation enthusiasts should take the pictures at a long distance. Security patrol,
reconnaissance inspection tour and law enforcement evidence
For nature reserves, forestry, wildlife protection, research institutes, forest farms, wetlands,
forest parks and other wildlife surveillance, field observation rescue, mountain cave tourism
adventure enthusiasts and outdoor tourism, they should take pictures at the high places.
Journalists and other remote observation shooting evidence
Long-distance shooting of the emergency relief, electricity, railways and other risky industries.

★Precautions
The left figure indicates that the Micro SD card is not inserted. Please shut down
before the card is inserted.
1. Correctly insert Micro SD card (TF card). Micro SD card can support up to 32G. When
operating the instrument, do not arbitrarily remove the TF card and battery!
(Before using the Micro SD card, format the card firstly to ensure that the card is not locked,
and according to the card slot icon of the machine body, pay attention to the positive and
negative sides. "Click" sound indicates the correct installation. Press the card when the car is
taken out. Do not pull it out directly!
2. Use big brand and high-quality 4 or 8 AA batteries, i.e. No. 5 alkaline batteries or
rechargeable batteries. Do not use the old and new batteries together or different brands of
batteries, pay attention to the positive and negative electrodes, and remove the batteries when
they are not used for a long time to prevent the liquid corrodes the battery compartment. If the
battery compartment is corroded due to leakage, no warranty is provided. You can use mobile
power supply 5V1A ~2A as the power supply instead of the battery.
Power consumption（Test based on new Energizer Battery, Battery life is different
according to battery capacity and surrounding of use, etc）

3. For the all-optical glass lenses with multi-layer coating, prevent oil fouling. Please use a soft
cloth to wipe it from the middle to two sides!
4. Water resistance: IPX4. It cannot be immersed in water so as to prevent any damage
against instrument circuit. When upgrading the software, ensure that the power is on in the
upgrade process!

SETUP AND BASIC OPERATION
1) LOAD BATTERIES OR CONNECT POWER BANK
Turn the battery compartment cover in a counter-clockwise direction to remove it, and insert 4 AA batteries as
indicated inside the battery compartment. Lithium AA batteries are recommended for maximum running time,
but alkaline or rechargeable NiMh AA batteries may be used as well. DO NOT MIX BATTERY TYPES, OR
NEW AND OLD BATTERIES. Remove the batteries if the unit will be stored for a month or longer between
uses.
Connect a USB cable between USB port and power bank( 5V-6V)
2) REMOVE THE LENS COVER, ADJUST DISPLAY (EYEPIECE) FOCUS FOR YOUR VISION
Press the Power button to turn on the unit. A battery level icon is displayed at the top right corner of the screen.
While looking through the eyepiece at the LCD display screen, rotate the eyepiece (eye-cup) until the
display icons or edges of the display screen appear sharp to your eye. Adjust the eyepiece spacing by

sliding the eyepieces closer together or farther apart. Remove the lens cover from the front of the objective
lens. Remove the lens cover from the front of the objective lens. Note: since the device uses digital night
vision technology (not analog “Gen 1”, etc.), the unit cannot be damaged by exposure to normal indoor or
outdoor light levels-however, you should avoid pointing it directly at the sun or other very bright light
sources to avoid overloading the sensor.
3) TURN ON IR LIGHT (IF NEEDED), ADJUST OBJECTIVE LENS FOCUS FOR SUBJECT DISTANCE
If the image is too dark to easily view (in most building interiors, and outdoors when away from artificial lighting),
press the IR button to turn on the Infrared LED light. If the image is too bright after turning on the IR light (when
viewing at close range), press the IR button again to reduce the IR light level. If the image is still too dark after
turning on the IR light, try pressing the Image Brightness button once or twice to lower the frame rate of the
digital sensor. If the image is not sharp, rotate the center Focus knob to change the focus until the subject
appears sharp. Do not re-adjust the Display (Eyepiece) Focus (as set in Step 2), unless the display icons are
un-sharp.
OTHER OPERATIONS
zAUTO POWER OFF
If a button has not been pressed for 10 minutes, the display screen will drop to 50% brightness level. If no
button is pressed within one minute after that, the unit will power off to extend battery life. Pressing any button
quickly any time before the unit turns off will return the screen to full brightness level and reset the auto off
countdown process, without changing any other settings
zICON OVERLAY ON/OFF
The user has the option to control how the icons are displayed on the LCD screen. Normally, when any button
is first pressed, ALL icons are displayed for 5 seconds, but no change to the unit’s settings is made (the
Record and IR buttons is an exception-image capture begins immediately the first time “Record” is pressed,
and the IR light turns on at the first press of “IR”). If the same button is pressed again, the button performs its
function, and the display icons remain visible for 10 seconds after the last press, before turning off
automatically. To display all icons constantly, press and hold the IR button for 3 seconds. Repeat to switch
back to auto icon overlay (only visible for 10 sec. max following the use of a button)
zUSING THE DIGITAL ZOOM
Press the “+” button (B) to zoom in. Press the “-” button (B) to zoom out. Hold the button down to zoom in/out
rapidly. The Digital Zoom icon at the lower left corner of the display will indicate the magnification factor, from
1.0x to 5.0x (in 0.1x increments).
zSELECTING PAL OR NTSC VIDEO OUTPUT
The Video Output jack is set to NTSC format (30fps TV standard in the USA, Canada, Mexico, etc.) by default.
To select PAL video output (25fps) format as used in other countries, connect the unit to your video device
first, then hold both the IR button and Image Brightness buttons down for 5 seconds while viewing the display
through the eyepiece. When the display changes to “PAL”, release buttons. To switch back to NTSC video
output format, hold both buttons for 5 seconds until the display indicates “NTSC”, then release the buttons.
Note: The “Auto Off” feature is disabled when using the Video Output jack.
