NEVER expose the opened objective lens of an active unit in  
daylight. (Note: 1st generation units will still remain active for a  
few minutes after switching the unit off). At daytime objective  
lens must be covered by caps. There is a tiny hole in the lens  
caps to provide enough light for daytime operation. It is allowed  
to turn on the unit at daytime, but the lenses must be covered by  
caps.  
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 caps closed!)  
Condensation accumulates on the parts.  
It is O.K. to use the unit in cold. However, when the unit is brought  
from the cold into a warm environment, it has to warm up for up to 2  
hours (not minutes!). Only then it is allowed to turn it ON again.  
NEVER aim active unit at intense light sources (i.e. lights,  
headlamp, campfires, the moon, etc.)  
Visibility decreases and / or disappears.  
NEVER reverse the polarity of a battery  
Bright light sources (moon, projectors or headlights) may cause  
visibility to degrade or even completely disappear. Move the  
binoculars away from the light source immediately. The image should  
be restored in within 2 minutes.  
NEVER connect the unit to external power sources  
ALWAYS keep the objective lenses covered when not in use  
Poor atmospheric conditions such as fog, haze or extremely dark  
environments will decrease the visibility distance of the unit.

WARNING!  
NEVER OPERATE YOUR NIGHT VISION DEVICE  
DAYLIGHT AREAS WITHOUT THE LENS COVERS ON!  
IN  
Precautions  
NEVER DIRECT THE LENS IN THE DIRECTION OF  
BRIGHT LIGHT!  
BN-5 is a sophisticated 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.  
Pre-starting procedures.  
6.1 Unpack the device. In order to install the battery, first  
open the battery house cover (2), and install the battery. Observe the  
correct polarity indicated on the housing. Close the battery house  
cover.  
6.2 Check the functioning of the device by switching it on  
(push and hold button 4) and looking through eye-pieces (5). (Make  
sure the lens caps are on while operating during the day). If power  
supply and the batteries are O.K., you will see greenish lit screen. If  
the screen is not lit, check the batteries. Replace the battery if  
necessary. If everything works, now is a great time to fill the warranty  
card.  
Cleaning of optical surfaces is possible only with professional camera  
lens cleaning supplies.  
Do not touch optical surface with fingers. Doing so may damage the  
anti-reflection coating.  
To clean the exterior of the device, use only a soft clean cloth.  
Do not take the covers off the lenses 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.  
Note: The unit will remain on for up to several minutes after  
switching the power off. This is normal.  
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.  
Testing of operation:  
Direct the device on an object placed within 8-15m from the viewer.  
Turning the eye-pieces (5) try to achieve the sharpest image on the  
screen of the image tube. Adjust the distance between the eyes by  
folding the binoculars until 2 images will merge into 1.
