NOTE:
The IR illuminator is designed to provide additional illumination (when needed) while viewing
scenes or targets from a short distance (up to 3m).
1. To activate the IR illuminator, turn the monocular on. Pull the IR illuminator out and flip the function
switch (A) CW from ON to the IR position. A red light will appear in the eyepiece to indicate that the IR
illuminator is operating.

3.3.3 AIMING IR LASER OPERATIONS
CAUTION:
When operating the device in extremely dark conditions, the light from the unit’s IR laser will be
invisible to the unaided eye. However, the light can be detected by other NVDs.
The Nyx-14 PRO is equipped with a built-in aiming IR laser for active target acquisition. The IR laser is
intended for use at night (under moonlight, starlight conditions, etc.), in poor visibility, and in changing
light conditions.
To activate the laser press and hold the IR laser button. To turn laser off release the button.
3.3.4 OPERATING UNDER CHANGING LIGHT CONDITIONS
If the ambient light level exceeds the limit of 100-300 lx for more than 10 s, the Nyx-14 PRO automatic
protective system will shut off the intensifier tube. If a mission must be carried out in changing light
conditions, the user can shut down the protective system manually by placing the pivot plate (A) onto
photoreceiver window.
CAUTION:
DO NOT forget to open the photoreceiver after completing your mission.
