NOTE. In order to ensure the longest operation time of the device
and full power of the IR illuminator (using one set of batteries) it is
recommended to use Alkaline batteries, which ensure the most
stable performance.
b. Testing of operation
During the bright time of the day:
Turn on the on/off switch (13). Lens cap (12) must be on. Direct
the device at an object placed within 10-20 m from the viewer.
Turning the focus ring (10), eye-piece (3) and the brightness
control (9) try to achieve
the sharpest image on the screen of the
image tube.
CAUTION!
The device is not supposed to be directed at a bright source of light:
bright lamps, the sun, welding and etc – it may result in the
reduction of the light gain of the device. In order to avoid the
fatigue of photo-cathode it is not allowed to leave the active device
motionless in the excessively bright environment (dawn, dusk,
daylight, etc.) for more than 30 minutes.
c. Operation at night
AT MOON LIGHT: Take off the lens cover (12). Turn on the
device-using switch (13). Turning the eyepiece (3) adjust to
achieve the most clear image on the screen. Then obtain the most
clear-cut image of the object focusing with ring (10). Repeat the
steps of focusing if necessary.
AT INSUFFICIENT AMBIENT ILLUMINATION: use the
Infra/Red illuminator (6) activated by rotating switch (8) clockwise.
Select one of three positions of the switch for different power
settings (10, 25 or 75 mW). Furthermore, turn the brightness
control knob (9) for a brighter image.
If brightness of the screen is decreasing, replace the batteries.
Take out the batteries during long periods of non-operation.
Do not forget to switch the device off after end of WORK!

- Place the scope on the rail of the rifle in such a position when
your eye coincides with the edge of the Eyepiece Guard or in
case of a large caliber (for example, .375 H&H Mag) your eye
should be situated at the distance of 2-5cm from the edge of the
Eyepiece Guard. The device should be located in the position
which allows comfortable observation without stretching
forward;
- Place inserts (4,5) in the apertures of the rail (3). The insert (4)
is placed with a projection (B) looking downwards in the
nearest slot on the rail of the rifle. If there is no such a slot, the
insert (4) is placed with a projection (B) looking upwards. It is
recommended to place the inserts at the maximum possible
distance from each other;
Place clamps (6) and clamp screws (7) in the inserts (4,5). Tighten
screws (6,7) in order to obtain hard fixation. When necessary the
excessive front part of the rail (3) can be removed.
Adaptation has been completed and the device is ready for use as a
hunter’s scope.
c. Variant III – side rail for East European (Warsaw Pact) rifles.
Side rail can be used for the installation of DN 310 on a hunting
rifle with side rail.
The appearance of the device with a side rail is shown below:
It is recommended to contact NEWCON OPTIK for installation of
the side rail.
ATTENTION! In case you use other type of binding, to eliminate
the phenomenon of shooting point displacement, device binding
should be advised with Newcon Optik, because usually such
displacement is caused by unqualified installation.
