ABOUT LS-650 MULTIFUNCTION NIGHT VISION
Thanks for purchasing of our LS-650 Multifunctional Night Vision. Comprised of high quality electronics and optics, the
LS-650 Multifunctional Night Vision is a portable digital night vision viewing system that utilizes an infrared sensitive
CMOS sensor, providing edge-to-edge resolution and outstanding image quality. Fully multi-coated optics increase
light transmission and decrease glare. The LS-650 6x50 Multifunction Night Vision monoculars are versatile enough
for many applications including hunting, camping, boating/fishing, caving, paintball, stargazing, rescue/recovery,
security surveillance, law enforcement, and video recording in continuously changing light conditions - from dawn to
absolute darkness. Not only can you view your subject at day and night, you can also record it’s image as a still photo
or video clip, and store it on micro SD card. The LS-650 6x50 Multifunction Night Vision units also include a video
output port (G) (user switchable to NTSC or PAL standard), which allows connection to video or computer equipment
for recording or “live” monitoring. A built-in accessory mounting rail (N) enables the user to attach a more powerful
IR illuminator or other compatible accessories.

HOW DIGITAL NIGHT VISION WORKS
LS-650 Multifunctional Night Vision products collect existing light through the objective lens. The image is then
processed through a digital CMOS sensor module and transferred to the micro liquid crystal display (LCD). Images
viewed on the LCD are magnified 6 times. LS-650 Multifunctional Night Vision models are equipped with a built-in
powerful IR (infrared) illuminator (D) that enables clear viewing in low ambient light conditions or even total darkness,
further more LS-650 Multifunctional Night Vision can also be used in daytime as telescope and there is a crosshair at
the central of the display for aiming and position.

•Pressing and holding the “+” button will rapidly zoom in, until the maximum 3.0x magnification factor is reached
•Pressing and releasing the “-” button will gradually “zoom out” from the subject in view, by 0.1x increments
•Pressing and holding the “-” button will rapidly zoom out, until the digital zoom returns to the starting point of 1.0x
(no digital zoom applied, view represents the original 6x optical magnification)
IR BUTTON (C)
The“IR”button turns on/off the Infrared LED illumination (D) for low light operation, and is also used to
reduce its brightness if necessary.
•Press and release the “IR” button to turn on the infrared LED light (D) when ambient light levels are too low to
provide good viewing quality. The IR illumination will be at “100%” level when first turned on, and the display
will indicate “IR3”. The LS-650 model has 3 IR brightness settings.
•Press the “IR” button a second time to reduce the IR LED brightness level when viewing subjects at close range to
avoid glare or “washout” of the image. The display will indicate “IR2”. Press “IR” again if necessary on the 6xmodel,
to reduce the IR LED brightness to its lowest setting, indicated by “IR1” in the display.

•Press the “IR” button again to switch off the IR LED light. “IR0” will be shown at the lower center of the display.、
Switching off the IR LED when ambient light levels are adequate for viewing without it (full moon, near streetlights,
etc.) will extend battery life and running time. Press the “IR” button once again to switch to DAY Mode-no IR value
will be indicated.
IMAGE BRIGHTNESS BUTTON (E)
The Image Brightness (Sun Icon) button can be used to change the digital imaging frame rate, producing
a brighter image for viewing or recording.
•Pressing the Brightness (Sun icon) button repeatedly will cycle through the available frame rates, beginning with
the default frame rate (fastest), until the last (slowest, brightest) frame rate is reached. After that, the next press
of the button returns back to the original fastest rate. The default, fastest frame rate in Night Mode is 25fps.Pressing
the Brightness button cycles through the other frame rate settings, with the third press returning to the default
again: 25fps>15fps>8fps>25fps>etc.
•In Day Mode, the default frame rate is 30fps. The frame rate cannot be changed in Day Mode, therefore the
Brightness button will have no effect. The display is a color LCD, and images will appear in color in daytime use, or
in strong artificial lighting conditions.
NOTE: selecting frame rates lower than the default 25fps in Night Mode will provide a brighter
image, however the decreased frame rate may cause moving subjects to appear less smooth or
stable when viewed.
