Warning!
After transportation or keeping the device at temperature lower than -
25°C (-13°F), the device must be warmed up to ambient temperature,
from -20°C (-4°F) to +40°C (104°F) during 2-3 hours.
Precaution
Phantom 150 is a precision optical instrument equipped with
electronics.
Therefore, it should be handled with due care.
• Keep your device away from direct sunlight, impacts, dust,
moisture, and sudden changes of temperatures.
• Do not touch the optical surfaces with fingers. Doing so may
damage the anti-reflection coating.
• Cleaning of optical surfaces is possible only with professional
camera lens cleaning supplies.
• To clean the exterior of the device, use only a soft clean cloth.
• Do not take the cover off the lens if not necessary.
• Keep away from heating appliances and central heating.
• Make sure to switch off the unit during periods of non-operation
and when storing the device for long period of time.
• Do not apply superfluous efforts at work with lens assembly, agile
elements and thread connections.
• Due to considerable optical magnification of the eye-piece some
small structures inside the tube coating in the form of dark and/or
white points may be seen in the field of view which does not affect
the serviceability of the device;
• The resolving power (resolution) may change in the direction from
the center towards the perimeter of the field of view. This is an
inherent feature of the image tube type utilized in the device. We
would recommend to place the scene of observation in the center of
the field of view.
• Make sure to remove the battery during periods of non-operating
and when storing the device for long period of time.

6. TROUBLESHOOTING
The monocular does not work.
Check that the battery is installed properly.
Check the charge of the batteries.
Replace if it is weak.
The image does not appear in focus.
Bring the inspected object to the center of the image. Turning the eye-
piece focusing lever (3) adjust to achieve the clearest image on the
screen. Then obtain the most clear-cut image of the object
The image doesn’t appear in focus. Bring the inspected object, if the
view still does not seem in focus, clean the lenses; they could be foggy
or dusty.
Unit flashes
It is normal for the unit to flash within the first 2 minutes of activation.
If the flashing continues afterwards the following is a possible cause:
bright environment (even with the cap closed !)
Condensation accumulates on the parts.
It is O.K. to use the monocular in cold. However, when the unit is
brought from the cold into a warm environment, it has to warm up for
up to 5 hours (not minutes !). Only then it is allowed to turn it ON
again.
Visibility decreases and / or disappears.
Bright light sources (moon, projectors or headlights) may cause
visibility to degrade or even completely disappear. Move the scope
away from the light source immediately. The image should be restored
in within 2 minutes.
Poor atmospheric conditions such as fog, haze or extremely dark
environments, will decrease the visibility distance of the unit.
