OPERATION
Battery Installation (g. 1.1)
Squeeze the 2 wings on the battery compartment cover together to release the cover. Install two AA batteries (not
included) correctly according to the polarity diagrams inside the battery compartment and replace the cover.
DO NOT MIX BATTERY TYPES, OR MIX NEW AND OLD BATTERIES.
Remove and store batteries when the device is not in use.
Power and IR Control (g. 1.7)
Powering up and adjusting IR (Infra-Red illumination) intensity can be controlled by turning the switch located at the
back of the device housing (g. 1.7). Rotate the switch to the right. The switch will produce a tactile click when power-
ing on and o.
To activate the IR and adjust IR brightness simply continue to rotate the power switch to the right until it cannot be
rotated any further.
Note: since the Digital Sentry 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.
CAUTION : Not recommended for rie/ammo >370 G-force.

Diopter Focus (g. 1.5)

Holding the monocular up to your eye with the power on, rotate the eyepiece (g. 1.5) until the edges of the LED
display become sharp.
Objective Focus (g. 1.2)
Holding the monocular up to your eye with the power on, rotate the front objective lens (g. 1.2) until the image in
the eld of view becomes sharp.
Ensure that the subject is at least 3 feet away.
Focus will require adjustment depending on the distance of the subject.
For the best possible user experience keep the objective lens clean and free of lint, oil or dirt. The lens can be cleaned
with a clean dry lint-free cloth.
For dried or stuck-on dirt use a lightly moistened lint-free cloth can be used with clean water or a glass / lens cleaning
solution.

Accessories (g. 1.4)
The Digital Sentry comes with a head / helmet mount adapter and a weapon mount adapter.
To mount the accessory adapters, line up the screw hole with the screw and tighten. Be careful not to cross-thread
the screw. - If the screw becomes tight but the mount is still loose, it is not properly mounted. Loosen and realign.
When properly installed there should be no free play between the mount accessory and the monocular housing.
