voltage, which may be hazardous to your health!
Unit flashes
• NEVER expose the opened objective lens of an active unit in
daylight. (Note: 1st generation units will still remain active for a
few minutes after switching the unit off). At daytime objective
lens must be covered by caps. There is a tiny hole in the lens
caps to provide enough light for daytime operation. It is allowed
to turn on the unit at daytime, but the lenses must be covered by
caps.
It is normal for the unit to flash within the first 2 minutes of activation. If the
flashing continues afterwards the following is a possible cause: bright
environment (even with the caps closed!)
Condensation accumulates on the parts.
It is O.K. to use the unit in cold. However, when the unit is brought
from the cold into a warm environment, it has to warm up for up to 2
hours (not minutes!). Only then it is allowed to turn it ON again.
• NEVER aim active unit at intense light sources (i.e. lights,
headlamp, campfires, the moon, etc.)
Visibility decreases and / or disappears.
• NEVER reverse the polarity of a battery
Bright light sources (moon, projectors or headlights) may cause
visibility to degrade or even completely disappear. Move the
binoculars away from the light source immediately. The image should
be restored in within 2 minutes.
• NEVER connect the unit to external power sources
• ALWAYS keep the objective lenses covered when not in use
Poor atmospheric conditions such as fog, haze or extremely dark
environments will decrease the visibility distance of the unit.
•
•
ALWAYS store in a warm dry place when not in use
ALWAYS remove battery when not in use for a long period

Due to considerable optical magnification of the eye-piece some small
structures inside the tube coating in the form of dark and/or white points
may be seen in the field of view which does not affect the serviceability
of the device
The resolving power (resolution) may change in the direction from the
