!WARNING!
Do not operate this device until you
are familiar with the contents of
this manual. Keep this manual in a
safe place for future reference.
This Night Vision Device should
only be used during night or low
light conditions. It contains a light-
sensitive image intensier tube
that can be damaged if exposed to
excessive light. To prolong tube life
and avoid damage, do not turn the

tective cover.
This Night Vision Device is
equipped with a built-in IR illumina-
tor that can be seen by other Night
Vision Devices when it is turned on.
Use this feature with caution.
This device will not show the dif-
ference between colored lights. It
produces only a green viewing im-
age. When color differentiation is
needed, verication with unaided
eyes is recommended.
All Image Intensied Devices re-
quire some light to operate such
as moonlight or ambient starlight.
Night vision devices will not pen-
etrate smoke, fog, rain, or heavy
snowfall. Cloud cover and tree
shadows will reduce the effective-
ness of this device.
Do not operate this Night Vision
Device in a potentially explosive
environment near gasoline fumes
or other volatile materials. This is a
high voltage electrical device.
Do not disassemble, puncture, re-
charge, or expose the battery to
re or high temperature. Doing so
may result in an explosion and re-
sulting chemical burns. When the
device is not in operation for a pro-
longed period, remove the battery
from the device and keep it sepa-
rately in a cool and dry place.
