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 the
option of full-color and numerous monochrome images –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.
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 embedded into the front lens cover)
4. For more details on how to operate your viewer, please read this
manual completely to ensure proper operation.

INSTALLING THE BATTERIES:
Your device operates on two 3V Lithium type batteries, known as CR123A
type 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.
Furthermore, rechargeable batteries are not recommended due to
significantly shorter operating time!
WARNING: batteries supplied with the unit are not
rechargeable –do not charge or recharge these batteries!
To install the batteries, unscrew the battery compartment cover (6), and
install two CR123A 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 (do not use force or over-tighten!).
DAYLIGHT COLOR ENHANCING FILTER:
Your monocular is equipped with a unique daytime
color enhancing filter, which provides vibrant and
accurate colors rendition during daytime use (digital
image sensors are known to distort colors and provide
an unnatural color image). The filter is embedded in the
protective lens cover, and we strongly recommend
keeping it on during daytime use. During nighttime you will need to remove
the lens cover/filter by grasping the extended rubber knob and gently pulling
the cover off. Take care not to accidentally remove the filter from the rubber
cover. To replace the cover, align it with the lens barrel and gently push onto
the rubber parts along the edges only (never press directly onto the red filter).

TURNING THE UNIT ON AND OFF:
Your night vision unit has push-buttons. To turn the unit ON, press the POWER
Button (4) and hold it for 3 seconds. The LED Power Indicator (10) located on the
back of the unit will briefly light up in green color and then the image can be seen
through the eyecup (8). Even if the image is not yet sharp, the unit is operating.
To turn the unit OFF, press and hold the POWER Button for 3 seconds. The image
will disappear if you turn the unit off correctly. We suggest always replacing the
daytime color filter / protective lens cover after the unit is turned off and no
longer in use.
IMPORTANT: When turning the unit ON or switching between various modes
(Video, Photo etc.) or when operating the unit with Wi-Fi stream activated, it is
normal to see some image flickering in the display. This is normal and does not
affect the unit. If the flickering does not disappear once the affecting functions are
no longer active, please re-start the unit. If conditions persist, please contact us at:
info@lunaoptics.com for assistance.

OPERATING FROM A 5V/2A POWER BANK: BEST POWER OPTION
Your digital viewer can also operate from the commonly available 5V USB Power
Bank chargers. Please make sure the output of the Power Bank is at least 2A, as
less powerful output may fail to power the unit especially when the IR illuminator
is activated or during video recording / Wi-Fi connection. 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. There is no need to
remove batteries when using the power bank.
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 on 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.
SUPER CONTROLLER / MENU FUNCTIONS:
Your monocular features a unique and user-
friendly adjustment called Super 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
dark conditions where button location may
be particularly difficult. The Super Controller
activates the Main Menu by pressing onto it
for approx. 2 sec.
Once activated, all Menu navigation is done the following way:
-Scrolling through the menu contents: rotate the Super Controller in
either direction (each click scrolls the menu by one step)
-Selecting and confirming function: short press onto the Super Controller
-Return from selected function to Main Menu: Long-Press onto Super
Controller (2 sec)
-Exiting the Main Menu: Long-Press onto the Super Controller (2 sec)

replace the old batteries with new set as quickly as possible and the date/time will
be preserved.

10
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 nighttime conditions.
WARNING: Your IR illuminator is a Class-3R
laser product. DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY INTO IR
ILLUMINATOR LENS WHILE THE ILLUMINATOR
IS ON!
To turn the Infrared illuminator ON, press the Infrared illuminator button (4)
momentarily –the blue IR)icon on the bottom of the display will appear on the
lower left corner of the display, 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 blue icon will change to IR))and IR))). After
the 3rd and most powerful level, the next momentary press on the IR button will
turn the IR off completely. The blue IR icon will disappear from the display when
the IR illuminator is properly turned off.
IMPORTANT: whenever operating IR illuminator please note that batteries
working time will be significantly diminished, especially when IR is on the 2nd and
3rd power levels. This is due to the high-power consumption of the IR diode.
Whenever the conditions allow, consider using IR on the 1st (lowest) power level
and only utilize 2nd and 3rd power levels when absolutely necessary.
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).
IMAGE COLOR OPTIONS:
IMAGE COLOR CAN BE QUICKLY CHANGED BY MOMENTARY PRESS ONTO
MENU CONTROLLER
-Daytime Color (default mode) displays images in full color. This is the
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 and, as you

11
must remove the daytime color filter during nighttime (once the filter is
removed, the image colors will no longer have true reproduction).
-B&W Monochrome displays images in monochrome black and white. This
mode is particularly useful 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. This mode is the most
preferred for virtually any nighttime activity.
-NV Green Phosphor allows you to experience image as seen with
traditional “intensifier tube” night vision devices. This mode is best
utilized at nighttime in clear field/rural settings.
-NV White Phosphor allows you to experience image as seen with
traditional white phosphor “intensifier tube” night vision devices. This
turquoise-like hue is best utilized at nighttime in city/urban settings.
-Amber, this unique and state-of-the-art color mode may be used in a
variety of nighttime conditions when the highest detail of the object is
required. It provides excellent sharpness and contrast similar to B&W
mode. This color mode is also very useful for dark and rainy days, as well
as for dusk and dawn conditions and for conditions where
direct/projection light is present, for example automobile headlights, as it
helps to mitigate the light glare.
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, when you cannot see many
details, 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 a 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.
ELECTRONIC IMAGE STABILIZER (EIS)
Your monocular is equipped with an Electronic Image Stabilizer (EIS)”, which helps
compensate for some shake during viewing and video recording. To activate, enter
Main Menu, then enter Settings –highlight EIS icon and turn it on. Once active, a
white Hand icon will appear on the left bottom corner of the image display, and it
will turn blue when image stabilization is active.

12
IMPORTANT: when EIS is activated image Zoom will no longer be possible and
system will be fixed on 6x optical magnification. If you must utilize Zoom, you will
need to turn EIS off.
TAKING PICTURES AND RECORDING VIDEOS:
WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND MOUNTING YOUR DEVICE ONTO A STEADY
TRIPOD WHEN RECORDING VIDEO OR TAKING STILL IMAGES –
PARTICULARLY WHEN WATCHING DISTANT OBJECTS AND/OR UTILIZING
ZOOM FUNCTION
Your digital viewer has the ability to take High-Resolution pictures and record HD
videos onto the external Micro-SD card. 16GB or 32GB 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-15
for important instructions.
Your monocular has a multi-use CAMERA button (3). It can be used to record video
and capture still images. Single short press on the Camera button activates still
image capture. Long press activates video recording (video recording counter
starts). During video recording any single short press captures still image (photo
icon briefly appears next to the video recording count).
To take a still image, focus the unit onto the object you are viewing and with a
steady hand gently press the CAMERA button (3) once. The display will
momentarily freeze the image and it is then automatically stored onto the SD card.
All still images are taken at 5360x3008 resolution (16.1MP)
To record a video, focus the unit onto the object, then press and hold CAMERA
button (3) for several seconds. The system will start recording. To stop video
recording, press and hold the CAMERA button for 2-3 seconds. During recording it
is still necessary to re-adjust the focus if you wish to record different objects,
located at different distances. There are 5 different video recording options:
1. QHD (Quad-HD resolution) at 30FPS: When highest video resolution and
crystal-clear image is necessary both: daytime or nighttime. Provides
brilliant image details, very close to 4K, without sacrificing the nighttime
sensitivity. Best choice for viewing video files on 4K TVs.
2. 3MHD / 30FPS: Very close in quality to QHD but allows for more video
files to be stored on memory card. Excellent choice for those who plan to
watch the video recording on 4K TV or monitors but wish to save more
space on memory card.
3. FHD 1080p / 60FPS: best mode for recording moving objects (animals,
birds, sports etc.) as well as when tripod mounting is not possible. Choose
this resolution for both: nighttime and daytime action recording.
4. FULL-HD 1080P / 30FPS: Blue-Ray quality recording. Best for recording in
daylight with color filter on and when mounted on tripod.

13
5. HD 720P / 30FPS: best choice for smaller size video recording files. Allows
for more video files to store on a memory card and still provides excellent
image when viewed on 720p or higher resolution HDTV.
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-15 for re-formatting instructions.

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

15
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
