DIGITAL NIGHT VISION TECHNOLOGY:
1. Your night vision viewer operates with batteries. Unlike a daylight
binocular, where you see the image due to light traveling through the
glass and the prisms, the digital night vision device works by projecting
the image onto an OLED display screen. While the Image Sensor and the
OLED display are the crucial components of your viewer, the optical parts
of the unit are also very important, as they gather the light into the Image
Sensor and then bring the projected image from the OLED screen to your
eye. Since the image is projected on the display screen, just like any TV, it
has certain limited resolution, so your digital night viewer cannot provide
the same crystal clear image, as you see through your daylight binoculars.
2. Another important point –your digital night vision viewer has option
of full-color, night vision green and black & white image –why? Because,
while full-color image is an excellent choice during daylight, it sometimes
washes out the details in the dark and will not be as effective as
monochrome image during nighttime conditions. The night vision green
color was chosen because green color shows more details than any other
color in the palette and black & white image is especially useful when
reading text or building signs or car plates during nighttime.
3. Your digital viewer is safe to operate during daylight and nighttime
hours. IT IS NOT SAFE FOR YOUR EYES TO LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE SUN
THROUGH THIS PRODUCT! Please note that during daylight you will have
to reduce the brightness level of the unit to prevent the image from
becoming totally washed out. You should also utilize Color Enhancing
Filter, supplied with the unit for daylight operation in order to view more
vibrant colors. (Filter is attached to the front lens and also acts as a
protective lens cover)
4. For more details on how to operate your viewer, please read this
manual completely to ensure proper operation.

commonly available in Electronics/Camera/Convenience stores. NOTE: it is possible
to use rechargeable batteries (CR123R) but please make sure each battery peak
voltage is equal to or less than 4.2V
WARNING: batteries supplied with the unit are not
rechargeable –do not try to charge these batteries!
WARNING: Use only compatible chargers with overcharge
protection to charge any rechargeable CR123R batteries.
To install the batteries, unscrew the battery compartment cover (6), and install two
CR123 batteries into compartment inserting the positive (+) end first. Once the
batteries are inside, replace the cover by rotating it all the way to the end until the
stop (cover must be replaced all the way until the rotation is no longer possible,
especially when using as a riflescope but once rotation stops do not over-tighten
the cap!)

DAYLIGHT COLOR ENHANCING FILTER:
Your digital viewer is equipped with a unique daytime color
enhancing filter, which provides vibrant and accurate colors
rendition during daytime. The filter comes attached to the
objective lens and we strongly recommend keeping it on during
daytime use. During nighttime you will need to remove the filter
(by unscrewing it counter-clockwise).
TURNING THE UNIT ON AND OFF:
To turn the unit ON, press the POWER Button (4) momentarily once. The LED Power
Indicator located on the back of the unit should light up in green color. Look
through the eyecup (8) –you should see the Welcome screen for a few seconds,
followed by image. Even if the image is not yet sharp, the unit is operating. To turn
the unit OFF, press and hold the POWER Button for 2 seconds. The image will

activated. To connect the Power Bank, open the Connection Area (11) rubber cover
by gently pulling it outward and then swing it counter-clockwise to the right and
locate the Micro-USB connector (11-b). Connect the small end of the USB cable
(included) to the connector and then connect the large end of the cable into Power
Bank output. You may need to activate the power bank first, prior to turning the
viewer on.
FOCUSING THE UNIT:
To obtain the sharp image, you must first rotate the Ocular (Eyepiece) Focusing Ring
(5) in either direction, until you notice in which position you can see the on-screen
display icons well. After that, rotate the Objective Lens Focusing Wheel (1) focusing
at the object you are trying to view until the image is at its best. You may have to
repeat (fine-tune) the process again, until the image is sharp and clear. Once the
clear image is obtained, you will no longer need to adjust the eyepiece, just rotate
the front objective lens to adjust the distance to the object you are viewing.
MENU CONTROLLER / MENU FUNCTIONS:
Your digital viewer features a unique and
user-friendly adjustment called Menu
Controller (9). It incorporates various
operating functions and makes navigating and
adjusting menu functions fast, easy and
natural without having to take your eyes off
the eyepiece in the field. It is especially useful
when using in the dark conditions where
button location may be particularly difficult.
Controller activates the Main Menu by
pressing onto it for approx. 2 sec.

5:30pm and so on. As with the date, changing hours and minutes is done by
rotating the Controller and moving between hours and minutes is done by pressing
onto it. Once the time is adjusted you may choose to change the date format to
MM/DD/YYYY or YYYY/MM/DD according to your preference. Once you are
finished setting date and time, you can exit the menu by pressing Controller (9) for
approximately 2 seconds. Once set, the time will be displayed on the bottom of the
OLED image display.
IMPORTANT: in order to preserve the set date/time do not remove the dead
batteries from the unit until you are ready to replace them with the new set, then
replace the old batteries with new set as quickly as possible and the date/time will
be preserved.
USING INFRARED ILLUMINATOR:
Your digital viewer is equipped with a built-in powerful Infrared illuminator light (7).
This light operates in a spectrum, which is normally invisible to a human eye,
however with the help of the Image Sensor,
located inside the unit, you will see a beam of
light when looking though the ocular lens. Since
the Image Sensor does not actively amplify the
available light, you will need to utilize the IR
illuminator often in the nighttime conditions.
WARNING: Your IR illuminator is a Class-3R laser product. NEVER LOOK DIRECTLY
INTO THE IR ILLUMINATOR LENS WHILE THE ILLUMINATOR IS ON!

10
To turn the Infrared illuminator ON, press the Infrared illuminator button (4)
momentarily –the IR icon on the bottom of the display will light in pink color and
red LED light indicator (10) located next to the eyepiece will light on, indicating the
IR illuminator is operating. The illuminator intensity can be further increased by
pressing the IR button (4) second and third time (momentarily). The IR icon in the
image display will change colors from pink to orange to red, indicating the three
different power levels. After the red level (3rd and most powerful) the next
momentary press on the IR button will turn the IR off completely. The red LED light
indicator (10) will disappear when the IR illuminator is properly turned off.
When using the infrared illuminator it is important to remember that like a
flashlight, it is brightest when used in short distances. As the distance increases,
the intensity of the infrared light fades away. The illuminator lens can be focused by
rotating the front lens barrel (7). This allows for the IR beam to be widened (shorter
effective distance) or narrowed (longer effective distance).
Accessory IR illuminators are available (models LN-EIR850-2, LN-EIR940-2 or LN-
ELIR-2), which can be mounted into the single (black) bottom accessory mount
socket. The thread is a standard ¼” type and will accept any accessory with
mounting screw of that size. If the black bottom mount is utilized for tripod
mounting, you can utilize any of the two gold sockets. Please note that due to the
monocular shape a special riser plate will be required to mount our illuminator
(please e-mail us at [e-mail] and request this riser plate if your
extended range illuminator did not come with it).
IMAGE COLOR OPTIONS:
IMAGE COLOR CAN BE QUICKLY CHANGED BY MOMENTARY PRESS ONTO
MENU CONTROLLER
-Normal mode displays images in full-color. This is preferred mode for
daytime use as well as when enough artificial light is present (inside a well-
lit room). If used during nighttime the overall sensitivity of the image
sensor will be significantly reduced.
-B&W mode displays images in black and white. This mode is particularly
useful during nighttime city setting when it might be important to read the
street signs or automobile plates or similar situations where highest
contrast between light and dark colors is necessary.
-Green mode allows you to experience image as seen with traditional
“tube” night vision devices. This mode is best utilized at nighttime in the
field / forest settings
-Amber mode unique state-of-the-art color minimizes incoming light glare
and provides extra contrast allowing to perfectly see the smallest details.
Excellent for nighttime settings, but is also very useful in daylight during
both: bright sunshine or cloudy days where extra contrast is desired

11
IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ!
Due to the inherited limitations of any digital image sensor, video refresh rate will
be significantly slower during nighttime, resulting in visible image lag/delay when
using your monocular in the dark. It is important to take the following steps to
minimize this effect and ensure the best possible image and video recording quality:
-During nighttime and in any dark condition always activate built-in IR
illuminator –it will provide extra light needed for the image sensor to
“speed up” its refresh rate and image delay will be minimized.
-During nighttime you need to remove the daylight color enhancing filter –
it will block most of the Infrared light from the built-in IR illuminator
resulting in very dark image.
-Always try to utilize a quality tripod for any video recording done at
nighttime. This will ensure steady placement and will minimize image delay
when filming a moving object.
BRIGHTNESS ADJUSTMENT:
Your digital viewer is equipped with dual image brightness control. An automatic
picture optimization sensor adjusts the image according to the available ambient
and artificial light. In addition a manual Image Brightness Button (2) allows you to
fine-tune the image brightness to the most comfortable level. Please note that
during daylight you will need to tone the brightness down to avoid image flickering
and/or washout and to preserve the battery life. During nighttime you could
increase the brightness all the way up, however when utilizing built-in or external IR
illuminator, you may still need to tone the brightness down. Each momentary press
onto the IMAGE Button (2) will increase brightness by one level until it reaches
maximum level –then it will reset to the lowest brightness setting.
TAKING PICTURES AND RECORDING VIDEOS:
Your digital viewer has the ability to take High-Resolution pictures and record HD
videos onto the external Micro-SD card. 8GB card is included with your unit and it is
already installed into the SD-card slot. The Micro-SD card can be upgraded up to
128GB, which is especially useful if you plan to record a lot of videos See RE-
FORMATTING 64 & 128GB CARDS TO FAT32 FORMAT on page-14 for important
instructions.
Your monocular has a multi-use CAMERA button (3). It can be used to record video
and capture still images. You can switch the function of this CAMERA button by
activating the Main Menu (long press onto Super Controller (9)) and selecting Mode
function and then select either Video for video recording or Photo for still image
capture. Please refer to Page-6 for instructions on how to use Super Controller
and Menu options.
To take a still image, focus the unit onto the object you are viewing and with a
steady hand firmly press the CAMERA button (3) once. The display will give a

12
countdown (2-1) in the upper left corner and then image is taken and is
automatically stored onto the SD card. All still images are taken at 4032x3024
resolution (12.2MP)
To record a video, focus the unit onto the object and press CAMERA button (3)
once. The system will start recording. To stop recording, press CAMERA button
once again. During recording it is still necessary to re-adjust the focus if you wish to
record different objects, located at different distances. There are 4 different video
recording resolution options:
1. FULL-HD 1080P / 30FPS: Blue-Ray quality recording. Best for recording in
daylight with color filter on when highest video resolution is necessary.
Also good for recording at nighttime without the color filter, when
monocular is stationary on a tripod and no sudden movements are
expected
2. HD 720P / 60FPS: Excellent for daytime and nighttime recording.
3. HD 720P / 30FPS: Daytime and nighttime recording.
4. WVGA 480P / 60FPS: DVD quality recording, great for space saving mode
where large amount of video is expected
IMPORTANT: once your micro-SD card reaches its capacity, video recording and
still image taking will no longer be possible and “SD Card” will be displayed,
indicating it is time to either replace the card or empty your current card. This
feature acts as a safeguard to prevent accidental over-writing your existing video
and photo files.
IMPORTANT: If you see “Memory Error” message displayed, your micro-SD card
is either bad, or, if you have a 64GB or 128GB card, it is not operating in FAT32
format. Please refer to page-14 for re-formatting instructions.
DATA VIEWING AND DATA TRANSFER OPTIONS:
It is possible to view the images and videos directly on the unit’s micro-display. To
do so, while the unit is operating access the main menu by pressing the Menu
Controller for 2 seconds. Enter “Mode” menu and choose “Playback”. As always,
scrolling between functions is done by rotating the Controller and function
selection is done by short-pressing the Controller. Once in the Playback Mode you
will be able to switch between photos and videos by rotating the Super Controller
and short-pressing Controller will activate any video file. To exit the Playback Mode
simply press Controller for 2 seconds.
You can connect the unit directly to the computer via USB connection by utilizing
the micro-USB connector (11-b). To do so, connect the micro-USB part to the unit,
then connect the standard USB part to the computer. Device does not need to be
powered. It will power up once connected. Look through the eyepiece –words

RE-FORMATTING 64GB & 128GB MICRO-SD CARDS TO FAT32
FORMAT:
Any micro-SD card above 32GB needs to be re-formatted from EXFAT format to
FAT32 format, which is the format of the night vision monocular (and many other
consumer electronics). Please note that FAT32 is the most widely used format and
is also considered the most reliable format.
In order to re-format the card you must run it through a 3rd party provider. We
suggest using Disk Partition. While nearly all of the providers would want you to
buy their upgraded versions, you can just download their basic free version and it
would be sufficient to re-format the card. Disk Partition seems to be the most
simple and hassle-free provider we could find:
https://www.disk-partition.com/download.html
Download the “Standard Free” version and follow all the download
instructions.
Once downloaded, open the program and insert the micro-SD card into the
computer.
Highlight the correct disc by single-click and then choose on the bottom
left side of the menu to “Format Partition” (alternatively right-click on the
highlighted disc and choose the same function). A pop-up window will
appear. You can label your partition (such as “Luna Optics Monocular” or
any other name you desire (it’s optional) and then make sure to select
“FAT32” as the File System. Then click “OK”.
Once the format is finished, click on “Apply” located in the most upper left
corner. You must select “Apply” otherwise the formatting is not finished.
You card is now formatted, but before you can use your 64/128GB card in
our digital night vision product you must also format the card inside the

15
product. To do so, insert the card into its slot (11-c), turn your monocular
on and through the menu find and select “Format”, then select “OK”.
Once the card is formatted inside the device it is now ready to use.

1. This item was designed for use on the following calibers only:
oAirsoft guns
oBB and Pellet guns
oMost rimfire caliber weapons (.17WMR; .22LR; .22WSM and other
rimfire cartridges)
oCenterfire calibers limited to .223REM; 5.45x39 (AK74 round) and
similar with total recoil energy of 4.5 or lower.DO NOT USE THIS
DEVICE WITH ANY CALIBER WITH RECOIL ENERGY OF OVER 4.5
2. Know and observe all Federal, State and Local laws, regulations and
restrictions concerning possession and use of daylight and/or night vision
riflescopes. Luna Optics Inc cannot be held liable for unlawful and/or unauthorized
possession or use of this device.
ACTIVATING RETICLE / CHOOSING RETICLE TYPE AND ITS COLOR
Your device ships from the factory with default mode where aiming mark (reticle)
is not visible. To activate the reticle go to the main menu and scroll until “Reticle”
and then short-press the Super Controller to enter this menu chapter. You will see
the factory default reticle. Now you can rotate the Super Controller in either
direction to select the type of reticle (there are 5 types available). Once you select
the preferred reticle type short-press Super Controller and you will exit the menu.
The selected reticle will now be visible on the screen.
Once the reticle is activated you may now select its color. There are 7 colors
available. Once selected the color you like simply short-press the Super Controller

ATTACHING DEVICE TO THE WEAPON
Your monocular can be attached to any standard Picatinny Rail via the included
weapon mount (10). NOTE: mount design may be slightly different from the one
pictured, as updates are constantly made to improve its function.
First, attach the mount to
the bottom of the
monocular, using the 3
screws (12) as shown on
picture here. If you plan to
use the device as a
12
13
10

16
riflescope for an extended period of time, put a small drop of Loctite 242
(Blue) on the screws’ threads prior to attaching the mount to the
monocular. This will prevent the screws from becoming loose over time.
Do not use Loctite Red or similar permanent solutions!
Once the mount is securely attached to the monocular housing, loosen the
Retainer Screws (13) to the point where mount can easily go over the
Picatinny rail and clamp over on the other side and attach the scope on
your weapon, as you would any riflescope, allowing for the proper eye-
relief. Do not tighten the Retainer Screws all the way until proper and
comfortable eye-relief is set. NOTE: the scope has a suction cup type
eyepiece, which helps to protect your eye from any effect of recoil, so it is
necessary to install the scope at such distance where your eye is touching
the outer rim of the rubber eyecup during weapon shouldering and aiming.
Once the correct placement is chosen, secure the scope on the rail by
tightening the Retainer Screws.
Please pay
attention to the
Retaining screws
back-end tips
making sure
they are seated
fully in the side
groove of the
mount (as
shown on the
picture here).
Now tighten the
retainer screws.
If necessary use
a small Allen
wrench key by inserting it into Retainer Screws small holes which will give
you extra rotational strength to tighten the screws. Once rotation is no
longer possible STOP –do not over-tighten! If you plan to use this scope on
the particular rifle for a long time or permanently add a small drop of

17
Loctite 242 (Blue) on the Retainer Screws threads, which will prevent them
from becoming loose over time.
Your scope is now ready to be sighted (zeroed).
ZEROING THE SCOPE
Prior to any adjustment you must secure your rifle in a vice or similar
position where it cannot be easily moved.
IMPORTANT: make sure that once the reticle adjustment process starts,
your weapon is not physically moved until the process is over.
Once rifle is secure, go through the following process step by step –do
not skip any steps or jump through the steps:
1. Go to the main menu via the Menu Controller and select RETICLE
ADJUSTMENT and then select On
2. Next screen will feature an area with yellow borders, which represent
the maximum reticle adjustment area. Reticle can be moved anywhere
within the border area.
3. Place the initial shot while aiming your reticle at the bulls-eye of the
target. Observe the actual location of the target where bullet went
through. Do not move your rifle.
4. You now need to move the reticle from its current position to the
actual bullet impact position. To do that make sure the reticle is still
aimed directly at the bullseye and then short press the Menu
Controller button to freeze the image. Once the image is frozen, the
small green “x” will appear in the middle of the reticle and X=0 / Y=0
values will be visible to the right side of the yellow box. X = represents
the horizontal (windage) adjustment and Y = represents the vertical
(elevation) adjustment. By default letter Xwill be highlighted in red
color first, meaning the horizontal movement is ready for adjustment.
Move the reticle by rotating the Menu Controller wheel either
clockwise of counterclockwise, depending on which direction you
need to move the reticle, until green “x” is located directly under or
over the bullet impact hole. Now short-press the Menu Controller and
letter “Y” will become highlighted in red color meaning you can now
adjust the vertical movement of the reticle. Rotate the Menu
Controller until the green “x” is positioned exactly over the bullet hole.
If the small green “x” is at the exact point of the bullet impact, then
proceed to the next step by short-pressing the Menu Controller once
more to highlight in red “P1” in the upper right corner of the screen
and proceed to step-5. If further reticle adjustment is still needed
then short-press the Menu Controller again to highlight either “X” or
“Y” in red and make further adjustments in the same manner as
described above
5. When P1 is highlighted in red you are ready to save the adjustment in
the system. P1 stands for “Profile 1”. To save the profile make sure P1

18
is highlighted in red and then press the Menu Controller for 2 seconds.
The profile will be saved and reticle will now appear in the new
position on the screen (position where you moved it during
adjustment).
6. At this time you can take follow up shots aiming at the bullseye of the
target and make sure that bullet impact is within acceptable distance
from the bullseye. If the bullet impact is still not on the target, you can
repeat the zeroing process again and when saving as the same profile
(P1) the system will ask if it is OK to change the initial adjustment –
select OK and the new adjustment will be saved under the same
profile.
There are total of 5 profiles, (P1, P2, P3, P4 and P5) which can be
saved independently and then loaded from the menu. This
allows you to zero the scope for either up to 5 different
weapons, or at 5 different distances or for up to 5 different
calibers/bullet types (or any combination thereof). To switch
between different profiles during adjustment rotate the Menu
Controller and observe the Profile number in the upper right
corner of the display.
SELECTING RETICLE ADJUSTMENT PROFILES
Once the reticle profile is saved it stays saved unless you choose to replace
it during a new adjustment, or return to factory settings by selecting
Default Settings from the main menu. Do not select Default Settings if you
wish to keep your reticle profile settings!
To select (load) a reticle adjustment setting (profile), activate main menu,
then select RETICLE ADJUSTMENT, then select Saved Adjustment, then
select which Profile number you wish to load and then select load. If you
wish to delete the profile, instead of loading it, select delete at this time.
RETICLE AND SCOPE USE SPECIFICS
Please note and remember the following specifics of using this
particular device as a riflescope:
Since this device is not a dedicated riflescope, the reticle will
not be visible during video recording playback.
This device was originally designed as a handheld monocular
and is therefore not suitable for any caliber with recoil energy
above 4.5. It includes most 5.56NATO cartridges, which have
higher recoil energy than the civilian .223REM caliber.
Therefore, if you are using this device as a riflescope on an AR-
15 platform or on a bolt-action rifle that accepts not only

19
.223REM round, but also 5.56NATO round, please avoid using
5.56NATO round while this device is mounted on the weapon.
TROUBLESHOOTING:
1. Unit does not turn on and the light indicator is off:
a) please check if the batteries are inserted correctly
b) please make sure the batteries are fresh
2. The light indicator is working, but you cannot see the image:
You may be turning the unit on in a dark area without utilizing the IR
illuminator. Please also remove the Daytime Color Filter.
3. Unable to obtain sharp and clear image:
a) you may need to repeat the process of rotating the ocular and
objective lens several times until you get a good feel of it
b) You may be viewing an object that it too close –the minimum
focusing distance is approximately 80cm or 2.6ft
4. During image magnification adjustment color suddenly changes or Main Menu
activates:
You have accidentally pressed onto the Super Controller either
momentarily (color change) or for more than 1sec (Menu
activation). Press onto it again for approximately 2 seconds and
Menu will disappear.
5. I’m trying to turn the IR illuminator on and instead the unit shuts down:
You are holding the Power/IR button for more than 1 sec. In order
to turn the IR illuminator on, you must press the button only
momentarily.
6. I’d like to use a 64GB or a 128GB micro-SD card, but it’s not working or is not
recognized:
Your 64GB or 128GB micro-SD card must be re-formatted to FAT32
format. Please refer to page-14 for re-formatting instructions
