Bushnell Night Vision products are comprised of high quality image intensifier tubes and optics. Bushnell Night Vision products amplify existing light, allowing you to see in dark conditions too dark for the naked eye.

HOW NIGHT VISION WORKS

Bushnell Night Vision products collect and amplify existing light through the objective lens, which is then focused on the image intensifier. Inside the intensifier, a photocathode is “excited” by the light and converts the photon energy into electrons. These electrons accelerate across an electrostatic field inside the intensifier and strike a phosphor screen (like a green monochrome TV screen) which emits an image that you can see. It is the acceleration of electrons, which provides gain and enhances the image. This is a Generation I (analog) night vision device. Your Night Vision device is ideal for a variety of professional and recreational uses including the following:

• Boating / Marine Use

• Police / Law Enforcement

• Property Management CAUTION: As with any analog night vision device based on light intensifier tube technology, DO NOT REMOVE THE LENS CAPS AND OPERATE THE DEVICE IN BRIGHT LIGHT (DAYLIGHT). Turning on the device's power with the lens covers removed in brightly lit environments (outdoors or indoors) can potentially damage your night vision unit, beyond repair if the light level is very high and/ or exposure time is extended. The objective lens caps have a pinhole opening to admit a small amount of light for testing purposes.6 GETTING STARTED Installing Batteries This device operates on two AAA batteries (alkaline or lithium). To install, rotate the battery cover in a clockwise direction, to the "open" position as shown in the lower right photo. Insert the batteries into the battery compartment so that the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the batteries facing you match the markings above the OPEN arrow ("-" on left side, "+" on right side). Replace the battery cover carefully, rotating it counter-clockwise back to the closed position. Use and Testing Make sure the batteries have been installed according to the instructions above. If you wish to test your night vision device in a lighted area, be sure the objective lens caps are covering both objective lenses prior to pressing the “ON” button. The objective lens caps have a pinhole opening to admit a small amount of light for testing purposes. If testing or using the device in the dark, remove the objective lens caps and activate the device by pushing the “ON” button. The power indicator LED above the battery cover will light. To focus, select an object at the approximate distance for the area that you intend to view. Adjust each eyepiece diopter setting until the image appears the sharpest for your eyesight. After your initial diopter setting, the front (objective) lenses are now utilized for focusing: adjust the front lenses clockwise when you need to focus on closer objects, counter clockwise for more distant objects. If you are unable to focus on very close objects, the eyepieces may then be used as well for fine adjustments only. Battery Cover Closed Position Battery Cover Open Position Power Indicator7

POWER BUTTONIR BUTTON

IR ILLUMINATOR EYEPIECE DIOPTER OBJECTIVE LENS (MAIN) FOCUS Using the Infrared Illuminator Your Night Vision device offers a Built-In Infrared Illuminator. This allows you to see in complete darkness where no ambient light source, such as moonlight, is available. If the subject is to be viewed in a completely dark area, activate the infrared illuminator by pressing the IR button. In brighter areas turn off the IR illuminator by pressing it again to maximise battery life.8 CAUTION: This device can be used in extreme cold weather. However, when the unit is brought back into a warm environment, you must wait approximately 5 hours to allow it to adjust to the change in temperature before using the unit again. If this is not done, damage could occur due to condensation that may have accumulated on the internal circuitry of the unit. Spots In The Image You may see spots in the image. These vary from device to device and are very small cosmetic blemishes inside the intensifier tubes. These are normal for "Gen 1" analog technology Night Vision devices and are NOT a defect. TROUBLESHOOTING Device will not turn on. Check that the batteries are installed properly. Replace the batteries with new ones. Check the battery contacts to ensure they are clean and free of corrosion. If the power indicator LED is lit, make sure the objective covers are removed before viewing in dark conditions. Image is not focused. Adjust the Eyepiece diopter rings for your vision. Use the Objective Lens focusing controls to adjust for subjects at different distances. If still no improvement, clean the lenses; they may be foggy or dusty. Visibility decreases or disappears. Bright light sources such as headlights may cause visibility to degrade or disappear completely. Turn the Power OFF and turn the binocular away from the light source. The unit will restore itself in 1 or 2 minutes. Conditions such as fog or extremely dark environments will decrease visibility. Image flashes. The image may flash when used in a bright environment. It may also flash during the first few seconds of use in dark environments.9
