Bushnell 06-1729/03-01 - Manual

Congratulations on the purchase of your Bushnell Night
Vision Product. 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 particular
product is a Generation I device.
GETTING STARTED
Installing Batteries
• Open the Battery Compartment Cover.
• Connect a 9V battery to the connector and place it inside the compartment.
• Close the Battery Compartment Cover.
Using The Power Button
• Never turn the scope on in daylight conditions with the lens cap off. The
pinhole in the lens cap allows you to test the scope in daylight conditions.
• To use the scope, depress and hold the Power Button located near
the eyepiece.
• After you release the Power Button, the image will slowly fade out. This is
normal and is not a defect.
To Focus
• First, remove the Lens Cap.
• Adjust the Objective Lens Focusing Ring to infinity.
• While looking at a distant object (at least 36 ft. away), adjust the Eyepiece
Focusing Ring for the sharpest image.
• Once the Eyepiece Focusing Ring is adjusted, you need only adjust the
Objective Lens Focusing Ring as needed.
To Activate The IR Illuminator
• Your Bushnell Night Vision Product includes a built-in infrared illuminator. This
allows you to see in complete darkness when no ambient light source is
available.
• Pressing the momentary power button also activates the infrared illuminator.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Spots in the Image.
You may see spots in the image. These vary from scope to scope and are
cosmetic blemishes inside the scope. These are normal for Night Vision scopes
and are not a defect.
Scope 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.
Press and hold the power button firmly and completely.
Image is not focused.
Adjust the focus on the Focusing Eyepiece. Adjust the Objective Lens Focusing
Ring. You must be at least 1 ft. (30.5 cm) from the subject you are viewing.
If still no improvement, clean the lenses; they may be foggy or dusty.
(See To Focus).
Image is very faint or dim.
Replace the battery in the Illuminator with a new one.
Visibility decreases or disappears.
Bright light sources such as headlights may cause visibility to degrade or
disappear completely. Release the Power Button and turn the scope 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.
Scope flashes.
The scope may flash when used in a bright environment. It may also flash
during the first few seconds of use in dark environments.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
• When not using for an extended amount of time, remove batteries and store
the product in a dry location.
• Avoid turning the product on in extremely bright light conditions.
• Handle this product like you would a camera. Though Bushnell Night
Vision products are durably constructed, the image intensifier tube consists of
glass and is subject to breakage.
• Keep the optics clean. We recommend using a camera cleaner kit to
clean the outside of the objective and eyepiece lenses. Follow the
directions with the kit.
• Do not disassemble this product. Unauthorized disassembly not only voids
the warranty but may also cause damage from the lack of special tools
and techniques.
