APPLICATION
The Night Jaguar is the latest in Night Vision binoc-
ulars, A comfortable ergonomic design makes the
Night Jaguar one of the best-looking Night Vision
Binoculars on the market. However, since looks
aren’t everything we used two top of the line 1st
Gen+ light intensifier tubes with super fast optics to
make the Night Jaguar not only a great looking unit
but the bestfunctioning 1st Gen binocular there is.
NOTE: When installing the battery one should keep
in mind that the polarity of the battery should coincide
with the diagram on the body next to the battery hous-
ing cap.
Objective lens protective cover is intended to pro-
tect the objective lens from dust and scratches. It
also will act as a daylight filter, allowing you to test
the scope in daylight or other bright light situations.
The pinhole in the center of the protective cover
allows the user to check the operation ability of the
device in daylight conditions.
NOTE: Do not test the scope in daylight conditions
even with the daylight filter/lens cap on for more than
ten (10) minutes.
OPERATION
• Take the monocular out of the case.
• Install the battery into the housing with the polar-
ity order as shown on the scope. Battery Type: 3
Volt Lithium, #CR123A.
• To turn unit it on/off push the button on top of the
unit marked O/l with the protective lens cover still
attached to the lens. Do not turn the unit on in
the daytime without the protective lens cap
on. You should see green glow in the eyepiece.
You may notice a persistent green glow for up
to five (5) minutes after you have turned the unit
off. This is normal for the 1st Gen Light intensifier
tube.
• Observe the scene and adjust the diopters for
optimal image clarity.
• You may now enter a dark environment or simply
shut the lights off in order to darken the room.
• Next, remove the lens cap/daylight filter. You
should not have to readjust the diopter.
NOTE: We suggest that you focus the diopter during
daylight with the filter on.
INFRA-RED
ILLUMINATOR
Infra-red (IR) illuminators, are common to night
vision. The IR light greatly enhances the perform-
ance of the Night Jaguar while remaining almost
totally invisible to the naked eye. The IR illuminator
on the Night Jaguar is located next to the front lens.
New Dual Infra-red illuminator system with two dis-
tinct infra-red illuminator modes:
Wide-angle mode or Super Long Range mode.
The wide-angle mode is designed to scan short
distance, total darkness areas without overpower-
ing your viewing scene. The Super Long Range
mode allows you to see in total darkness up to 150
yards away!
It is important to remember that the IR illuminator
is simply an infra red light source, and like any light
source, it may loose its effectiveness over a great
distance.
To turn on/off the Wide angle IR push the button
marked IR1 and release. To turn on the Super-long
range IR hold down the button marked IR2, to turn
off release the button. When holding down the IR2
button, the wide range IR will switch off.
NOTE: The IR will automatically turn off when the
unit’s main power switch is turned off.
STORAGE AND CARE
• If the device is not to be used for extended period
of time (more than 10 days) remove the battery.
• Avoid touching lenses. If fingerprints or traces of
dirt or dust appear, clean their surface with a Pho-
tographic lens cleaning tissue.
• Keep lens cap/daylight filter on when not in use.
• The Night Jaguar is not harmful to the user or the
environment.
• Do not disassemble except to clean the front lens
and eyepiece: it will void your warranty.
• Evaluate the monocular function by looking
through it in a lit environment with the daylight
filter lens cap on. Never use in daylight without
the daylight filter lens cap on.
• Never point the Night Jaguar at a bright light
source.
• Adverse atmospheric conditions such as fog,
smog or haze and a lack of ambient light (moon
or starlight) may diminish the effective viewing
distance.
