Operation - ATN Night Storm User Manual

ApplIcATIoN
the night Storm night vision monocular is a complex opticoeiectronic system for individual
use. the device consists of the objective lens assembly, eyepiece and the body. the body
contains an image intensifier tube assembly with an integrated high voltage power source and
the three volt battery housing. 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 housing
cap.
Objective lens protective cover is intended to protect 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.
the scope is equipped with the Automatic Shut-off System. this system tracks when the
scope is not used (the controls are not touched for 60 minutes continuous) and shuts the unit
off automatically.
NOTE: Do not test the scope in daylight conditions even with the daylight filter/lens cap on for
more than ten (10) minutes.
