low battery voltage. For an uninterrupted operation keep a fresh battery ready and replace it on time. Bright red indicator reminds the user that the IR illuminator is on (for more details on illuminator see 6.9). In the daytime with lens cap on it is normal to observe a fuzzy image.
Auto shut OFF at bright light The NV207-G2 monocular has a built-in high light sensor located near the IR illuminator (2, Fig. 1). This sensor shuts the monocular off after about 45 second exposure to light exceeding lux.
Technical drawing of US clip mount FIGURE 3 “Swing arm” mount Unit groove Grooved pad Flip button Locking knob US clip mount Using the unit with headgear or helmet The unit is supplied with headgear (5, Fig. 1). Prior to using the headgear adjust its straps so that the headgear fits the head comfortably but firmly and does not slide off when you are moving.
To set comfortable eye-relief (the distance between your eye and the eyepiece), loosen tightening screw (8, Fig. 1) on the headgear and move the unit, then tighten the locking screw. To use the unit with PASGT head and helmet mount unscrew the grooved pad (2, Fig.
Turn off the monocular. Remove the lens cap. Press the lens firmly towards the eyepiece. Do not apply excessive pressure. Make sure that the lens is fixed well on the monocular. To return the monocular back to 1x magnification, pull off the lens. FIGURE 4 NV207-G2 with attached 3x...
6.11 Demist shield and sacrificial window Note: Demist Shield and Sacrificial Window are optional. Sacrificial window protects the objective lens from the abrasive influence of sand and dust in the night time. It should be put on the objective lens like an objective cap with the daylight filter. Demist shield filter protects the eyepiece against fogging.

The unit can be mounted on a rifle with Picatinny mount adapter (MIL-STD-1913). The optical axle of the monocular coincides with the rifle’s Picatinny rail. FIGURE 7. NV207-G2 with Picatinny adapter. Two types of weapon mount adapters are available – Fig.7 and Fig.
The advantages of the ‘Quick Release’ mount are: Quick removal and installation of the device; Foolproof design; FIGURE 8 Quick Release adapter “Accu-torque” screw Latch with spring Increased reliability. 6.15 Using with a daytime riflescope Although the unit does not contain a reticle and thus cannot be used as a riflescope, being mounted on a daytime riflescope or red-dot sight, it enables aiming at night.
6.16 Binocular configuration Two units can be combined into dual channel goggles/binoculars with the help of an optional bridge. Optional lens can be attached to form a binocular 3x system. To form a double-unit system use the dovetail platform (10, Fig.1) located on both sides of the unit.
