WARNINGS:
• This product contains natural rubber latex which may cause allergic reactions! The FDA
has reported an increase in the number of deaths that are associated with an apparent sensitiv-
ity to natural latex proteins. If you are allergic to latex, it is a good idea to learn which products
contain it and strictly avoid exposure to those products.
• The light from the unit infrared (IR) illuminator is invisible to the unaided eye when used in
total darkness. However, the light can be detected by other Night Vision Devices (NVD).
• To reduce the risk of detection by another NVD, avoid prolonged activation of the IR illumina-
tor.
• The IR light is more detectable by an NVD when used in smoke, fog and rain. Avoid prolonged
activation of the unit IR illuminator in these conditions.
• The intensifier’s phosphor screen contains toxic materials. Please note the following:
— If the intensifier tube breaks, be extremely careful to avoid inhaling the phosphor screen
material. DO NOT allow the material to come in contact with your mouth, eyes, or any open
wounds on the skin.
— If the phosphor screen material comes in contact with your skin, wash it off immediately
with soap and water.
— If you inhale or swallow any phosphor screen material, drink a lot of water, induce vomit-
ing, and seek medical attention as soon as possible.
CAUTION:
• The Nyx-7 is a precision electron-optical instrument, and must be handled carefully at all
times to prevent damage to the device and danger to the user.
• To protect the intensifier tube, do not remove the lens cap of the Nyx-7 when the unit is be-
ing operated in daylight conditions, or when the device is not in use.
• Use of the Nyx-7 in brightly lit conditions may damage the unit’s intensifier tube.
• Bright light sources such as firelight, headlights, searchlights, etc. can damage the Nyx-7.
Avoid exposing the unit to these types of light sources.
• DO NOT attempt to force the controls past their stopping points, as this may cause damage
to the mechanisms.
• Before replacing the intensifier tube, confirm that it is no longer covered by warranty.
• Thoroughly clean and dry each component of the Nyx-7 before placing them in the storage
case.
NOTES:
• The equipment requires some ambient light (moonlight, starlight, etc.) to operate.
• Performance of the device in nighttime conditions depends on the level of ambient light in
the environment. Please remember the following:
— The level of ambient light is reduced by the presence of clouds, shade, or objects that
block natural light (trees, buildings, etc.).
— The equipment is less effective when operated in shadows and other darkened areas.
— The equipment is less effective when operated in rain, fog, sleet, snow, dust or smoke.
— The equipment will not “see” through dense smoke.
• The IR illuminator is intended for increased illumination, as needed, when viewing at a close
distance of up to 3m.
• For the purpose of returning defective components, retain all packaging materials.
