BATTERY INSTALLATION
Your NV 5x60 runs on one battery - CR123A. To install, unscrew the battery compartment cover,
insert the battery into the battery compartment so that the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the battery
match the markings inside the compartment, replace the battery cover carefully. Do not over tighten.
USE AND TESTING
Your NV 5x60 operates using one battery - CR123A. Make sure it has been installed according to
instructions found in the battery installation section of this manual.
• If you wish to test your night vision device in a lighted area, be sure the lens cap is in place prior to
pressing the "ON" button. The lens cap has a pinhole opening to admit a small amount of light for testing
purposes.
• Move into a dark area before activating the NV 5x60 unit.
• Remove the lens cap (1).
• Activate the device by pushing the "ON" button (3).
• If the subject to be viewed is in the completely dark area, including low3light shadow areas, activate
the infrared illuminator by pressing the "IR" button (2) located next to "ON" button.
• Direct your NV 5x60 device at an object at a distance approximately 100 m. (110 yds). Adjust the
eyepiece and objective lens diopter setting to focus the unit by rotating the eyepiece (4) and objective lens (5).
After the adjustment, do not rotate the eyepiece irrespective of the distance and other conditions.
• Direct your NV device at the subject to be viewed and adjust the final focus by rotating the objective
lens (5) focusing ring until the image quality is optimal.
• The green LED indicates that the light amplifier unit is on. The red LED indicates that the IR
illuminator is on. Do not store your NV when any of the indicators are lit. When you finish using your NV
device, turn off the entire unit including the IR illuminator and light amplifier. Return the lens cap to the
objective lens.
CAUTION!
Your NV 5x60 can be used in extreme cold. However, when the unit is brought back into a warm
environment, you must wait approximately 5 HOURS before using the unit again. Failure to do so may result in
damage as a result of condensation accumulating on the internal circuitry of the unit.
MAINTENANCE
Maintaining the NV 5x60 is simple:
• Clean the lens with professional lens cleaning supplies intended for use with multicoated optics.
• Blow any dust or dirt off the lenses using dry, compressed air.
• Clean the NV 5x60 housing with a soft, clean cloth.
STORAGE
Always store the NV 5x60 (in its case) in a dry, well-ventilated area away from heating/air
conditioning vents (or other heating devices). Temperature should be +10°C. Humidity should not exceed 70%.
Remove the battery if the device is to be stored for longer than 2 months.
TROUBLESHOOTING
• The scope will not turn on...
Check that the battery is installed properly. Install the battery according to the (+) and (-) polarity,
ensuring that the markings on the battery and battery compartment correspond with one another. Check the
battery contact to ensure it is clean and free of corrosion; if necessary, clean the contact. Make sure that the
external contact lug is not broken. If necessary, replace the battery as it may be depleted. Also, be sure that the
power is in the "ON" position when trying to turn on the scope.
• Distinct black dots appear on the screen...
These dots are minor cosmetic blemishes resulting from tube production processes and do not
interfere with the reliability or performance of the scope.
• The scope flickers, flashes or "snows"...
The scope may flicker or flash when used in a bright environment; to correct this, place the cap over
the objectivelens and enter a dark environment. The scope will restore itself to a natural functioning state in
several minutes or hours, depending on how long the scope had been exposed to the light. The scope may
