TESTIng PROcEDuRES
cAuTIOn:
Do not test the scope in daylight conditions for more than 10 minutes, even with the protective
lens cap on.
To check device operation in daylight or in an illuminated room, follow these steps:
1) Verify that the battery is inserted into the battery compartment in accordance with polarity mark-
ings on the monocular’s body.
2) Verify that the objective lens is securely closed.
3) Without removing the protective lens cap, activate the unit by pushing the Power button. While
looking through the eyepiece of your unit, observe the scene. Verify that the green light indicating
correct IIT operation is illuminated.
OPERATIOn In nIgHTTIME cOnDITIOnS
cAuTIOn:
Avoid exposing the goggles to bright light sources. Bright light emitted by fires, automobile
headlights, lanterns, projectors, etc. will damage your Prime.
1) Visually estimate the illuminance level in the viewing area. Operation of the device with the objective
lens cap removed is safe when the illuminance level is less than 1 lux; at an illuminance level of 1 lux, you
will barely be able to read a newspaper, even after your eyes have adapted to the low light conditions.
2) Verify that the battery is inserted into the battery compartment in accordance with the polarity
markings on the monocular’s body.
3) Remove the front lens cap.
4) Activate the unit by pushing the Power button. A green light indicating correct IIT operation will
appear after a momentary delay.
5) Observe the scene and focus your Prime.
6) Turn the unit OFF when you are finished using it. The green glow will disappear from the eyepiece.
7) Secure the objective lens cap over the objective lens
IR IlluMInATOR OPERATIOn
cAuTIOn:
Do not forget that light emitted from the IR illuminator light is invisible to the naked eye; how-
ever, it can be easily detected when using night vision devices.
Infrared illuminators are used in areas where the level of light is not sufficient for surveillance. An IR illumi-
nator can provide an extra source of infrared light, which, although invisible to the naked eye, can greatly
enhance the performance of night vision devices. Turn on the IR illuminator when working in total darkness.
Please remember that the beam emitted by your IR illuminator will lose its brightness over distance.
You can activate the IR illuminator of your monocular by pushing the IR button. A red indicator light will
appear when the IR illuminator is turned on.
You can change the field of coverage by adjusting the IR beam. To focus the beam, rotate the IR illumi-
nator lens until the desired field of coverage is reached.
nOTE:
The IR will automatically turn off when the unit’s main power is turned OFF.
