Attaching the Goggle to Your Head
Release the two Velcro® straps on the rear of the Headset.
Slide your head forward into the headset with your chin in the chinstrap.
Close the two Velcro straps at the rear.
Adjust all straps until the Headset feels most comfortable and secure.
Adjusting the Goggle to the Vertical
Push the side-mounted button (Picture 3, 1), situated to the rear of the attachment screw, inwards.
Push the goggle upwards.
The goggle will now lock in the vertical position.
Press the button again to release.
Turning the Goggle ON and OFF
Never turn the goggle on in daylight conditions with the objective lens caps off (1,10). The pinhole in the objective lens caps allows you to test the
goggle in daylight conditions.
To use the goggle, press the ON button (Picture 1, 3). A green LED indicator (Picture 1,4) will turn on, indicating that the device is on.
To turn the goggle off, press the ON button (Picture 1,3). The image will slowly fade out, possibly taking several minutes. This is normal and is not
a defect. The green LED indicator (Picture 1,4) will not be on when the goggle is off.
To Activate The IR Illuminator
Your Bushnell Night Vision Goggle includes a built-in infrared (IR) illuminator (Picture 1,9). This allows you to see in complete darkness when no
ambient light source is available.
Press the IR button (Picture 1, 5). This will activate the built-in IR Illuminator allowing use in total darkness over limited range.
To turn the IR off after use, press the IR button (Picture 1,5)..
To Focus
Adjust the Eyepiece Focusing Rings (Picture 1, 6) and Objective Lenses (Picture 1, 7) for the sharpest image. When viewing from one object to the next, it may be
necessary to re-focus the objective lenses again.
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
goggles and are not a defect.
Google 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. This night vision goggle contains a light sensor on the right side (Picture 1,8) This sensor is a bright light protection circuit. Do not cover up
this sensor when using in dark conditions. If focusing the unit during the day, (remember to do so with objective lens caps on), you will need to cover
this sensor with your finger or black electrical tape.
Image is not focused.
Adjust the focus on the Eyepieces. You must be at least 8 inches./0.2 meters from the subject you are viewing. If no improvement, clean lenses, they
may be foggy or dusty.
Visibility decreases or disappears.
Night vision devices work by amplifying available light - they need reasonable levels of natural moonlight/IR light to give good results. Bright light
sources such as headlights may cause visibility to degrade or disappear completely. Never point your scope towards such bright light sources or
switch it on in a bright environment/daylight with the lens caps off. If exposed to bright light, protection circuits will turn the scope off automatically
- it can function again after 1 or 2 minutes. Poor atmospheric conditions such as fog or extremely dark environments will decrease the visibility of the
unit. Infra Red light sources, which night goggles are sensitive to, will increase range capability in very low light conditions.
Goggle flashes.
The goggle 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 goggle 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.
