WARNING!  
Never operate your night vision device at daylight without  
the lens cover on! Never direct the lens to bright light!  
5.1. Prior to use  
- Unpack the device.  
- Switch (9) and (7) (Fig.1) must be in the OFF- position.  
- Attach the hand strap if necessary.  
- Remove battery compartment cover (5) by sliding it out;  
- Insert 2 AA batteries in the battery compartment observing  
correct polarity as shown at the bottom of the battery -  
compartment  
- Close the battery compartment cover (5).  
- PYGMY 2M is ready for operation  
5.2. Testing of operation  
Turn on the device-using switch (7). Lens cap (4) must be on.  
Direct the device to an object placed within 10 – 20 m from  
the viewer. Image will appear in green. Achieve the sharpest  
image on the screen by rotating the eyepiece (3). For close  
focusing rotate the front lens (2)  
6
 
5.3. Operation at night  
AT MOON LIGHT: Take off the lens cap (4). Turn on the  
device using switch (7).  
AT INSUFFICIENT AMBIENT ILLUMINATION  
Turn on the device using switch (7). Turn switch (9) into ON  
position. The IR illuminator ON-indicator (8) should glow.  
When finishing the observation, turn slide switch (9) into OFF  
position. The indicator (8) should not glow. Turn the power  
supply switch (7) into OFF position. Close the objective lens  
with lens cap (4).  
When the device is not in use for a long time remove batteries  
from the battery compartment. This will prevent damage of  
contacts in the battery compartment from possible leakage of  
the batteries.

6. STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE  
Warning! After transportation or keeping the device at  
temperature lower than -25°C (-13°F), the device must be  
warmed up to ambient temperature from -20°C (-4°F) to  
+40°C (104°F) during 2-3 hours.  
Precautions: PYGMY 2M is a sophisticated precision optical  
instrument equipped with electronics. Therefore, it should be  
handled with due care.  
Keep your device away from direct sunlight, impacts,  
dust, moisture, and sharp changes of temperatures.  
Do not keep the device at temperatures higher than 50oC  
(122oF).  
Do not touch the optical surfaces with fingers. Doing so  
may damage the anti-reflection coating.  
Do not take the cover off the lens if not necessary.  
Avoid shocks and sharp jolts.  
Make sure to switch off the unit during periods of non-  
operation.

Due to the considerable optical magnification of the  
eyepiece some small structures inside the tube coating in  
the form of dark and/or white spots may be seen in the  
field of view. This does not affect the functional ability of  
the device.  
The resolution may vary from the center towards the  
perimeter of the field of view. This is an inherent feature  
of the image tube type utilized in the device. We  
recommend placing the scene of observation in the center  
of the field of view.  
Clean optical surfaces with professional camera lens  
cleaning supplies only.  
To clean the exterior of the device use a soft clean cloth.  
Keep away from heating appliances and central heating.  
Remove the batteries when storing the device for long  
period of time.  
Do not apply excessive force to lens assembly, agile  
elements and thread connections.  
Repairs can only be done by the manufacturer.

7. TROUBLESHOOTING  
7.1. The monocular does not work.  
Check that the batteries are installed properly.  
Check the charge of the batteries. Replace batteries if  
necessary.  
7.2. The image does not appear in focus.  
Bring object to the center of the image. Turning the eyepiece  
(3) and the objective lens (2) obtain the most clear-cut image.  
If the image still does not seem in focus, clean the lenses; they  
could be foggy or dusty.  
7.3. Image flashes  
It is normal for the unit to flash within the first 2 minutes of  
activation. Flashing may continue longer if unit is exposed to  
bright light. This may happen even with the cap closed!  
7.4. Condensation accumulates on the parts.  
When the unit is brought from cold into a warm environment,  
it has to warm up for up to 5 hours. Only then it is allowed to  
be turned ON again.  
10  
 
7.5. Visibility decreases and / or disappears.  
Bright light sources (moon, projectors or headlights) may  
cause visibility to degrade or even completely disappear.  
Move the scope away from the light source immediately.  
The image should be restored in within 2 minutes.  
Poor visibility, such as fog or haze, or extremely dark  
environments, will decrease the observation distance.
