If the view still does not seem in focus clean the lenses; they could be  
foggy or dusty.  
NEVER disassemble the unit. This device contains high  
voltage elements, which may be hazardous to your health!  
Unit flashes  
NEVER expose the opened objective lenses of the activated  
unit with a switch in the night (‘N’) position to daylight. (Note:  
1st generation units remain active for a few minutes after  
switching the unit off). If you test the night channel during  
daytime, caps must cover the objective lenses. There is a tiny  
hole in the lens caps to provide enough light for such testing.  
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.  
NEVER aim active unit at intense light sources (i.e. lights,  
headlamp, campfires, the moon, etc.). You can harm your eyes  
in daytime and spoil the device in nighttime.  
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 reverse the batteries polarity.  
Visibility decreases and / or disappears.  
NEVER connect the unit to external power sources  
ALWAYS keep the objective lenses covered when not in use  
ALWAYS store in a warm dry place when not in use  
ALWAYS remove battery when not in use for a long period  
Bright light sources (moon, projectors, or headlights) may cause  
visibility to degrade or even completely disappear. Move the binocular  
away from the light source immediately. The image should restore in  
within 2 minutes.  
Poor atmospheric conditions such as fog, haze or extremely dark  
environments will decrease the visibility distance of the unit.

2. OVERVIEW  
Adjust the focus and interpupillary distance as was described in  
paragraph 6.2. In case of insufficient lighting when observing an  
object, which is located not far from you, turn on the infrared  
illuminator by pressing and holding the ‘IR On’ button (11). As  
soon as the ‘I/R On’ button is released the infrared illuminator  
turns off.  
The day / night binocular BDN 7x50 is an observational  
optical-electronic device, intended for examining objects and  
orientation in both day and nighttime or under twilight conditions. The  
unit utilizes 2 (two) image intensifiers, which amplify available  
moonlight, starlight or synthetic light. The binocular was designed to  
be easy in use and provide many years of operation.  
Note: The illuminator lights on only if the unit has been  
already switched on by the button (7).  
Note: If you look directly at front of the binocular when I/R  
illuminator is on it appears as a red dot at a size of a lit cigarette.  
The illuminator can be also detected using night vision device.  
Therefore, if you need to remain undetected, use the illuminator  
with caution.  
Note: The unit automatically turns off after few minutes. This  
feature can be used to economically utilize the batteries power by  
periodically switching on and off the device during operation.  
If brightness of the screen decreases, replace the batteries. Put  
protective lens caps back on the lenses after operation. If you don’t  
intend to use the device during long time remove the batteries  
from the battery compartments to avoid any damage of the device  
in case of occasional leakage of electrolyte from the batteries.  
Some of the typical activities where the BDN 7x50 Day / Night  
Binocular can be useful:  
law enforcement  
wildlife observation  
security  
search and rescue  
hunting  
Features  
Daytime channel provides clear observation through high quality  
glass optics;  
Nighttime channel comprises two image intensifiers, one for each  
eye, thus providing stereo vision;  
7. TROUBLESHOOTING  
Built-in infrared illuminator allows observations in total darkness  
(i.e. basement, cave or dark room);  
The binocular does not work.  
Independently adjustable eyepieces;  
Inter-pupilary distance adjustment;  
Check if the batteries are installed properly.  
Check the charge of the battery. Replace if they are weak.  
Lightweight and comfortable;  
Soft rubberized foldable eyepieces make the viewing more  
comfortable for glass wearers;  
The image does not appear in focus.  
Water-resistant;  
Works with standard AA batteries.  
Bring the inspected object to the center of the image. Turning the  
eyepieces (8) adjust the focus trying to achieve the clearest image  
on the screen. Repeat the steps of focusing if necessary

Warning! After transportation or keeping the device at  
temperature lower than -25°C (-13°F), the device must be warmed  
up to ambient temperature for at least 2 hours.  
6. OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS  
WARNING!  
Precautions  
NEVER TURN ON THE NIGHT VISION CHANNEL IN  
DAYLIGHT AREAS WITHOUT THE LENS COVERS ON!  
NEVER DIRECT THE LENSES IN THE DIRECTION OF  
BRIGHT LIGHT!  
BDN 7x50 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.  
Cleaning of optical surfaces is possible only with professional  
camera lens cleaning supplies.  
6.1. Pre-starting procedures. Unpack the device. In order to use  
the device at night, unscrew the battery house covers (4), and install  
the batteries. Observe the correct polarity indicated on the housing.  
Close the battery house cover.  
Do not touch optical surface with fingers. Doing so may  
damage the anti-reflection coating.  
6.2. Daytime operations. Move the switch (5) to the Day  
position (letter “D” is visible). Open the lens covers (1). Aim the  
device to any distant object and try to achieve the sharpest image by  
eyepieces rotating. Each eye adjusts independently. Adjust the  
interpupillary distance by folding and unfolding the device around the  
central hinge until two images merge into one. If you wear glasses fold  
the eyepiece rubber guards (9) to obtain closer focus distance.  
6.3. Night channel testing. Check the functioning of the device  
by switching it on (press and hold button 7) and looking through the  
eyepieces (8). (Make sure the lens caps are on in a daytime). If the  
batteries are installed and function properly, you will see greenish-lit  
screen. If the screen is not lit, check the batteries. Replace the batteries  
if necessary. If everything works, now it is a great time to fill the  
warranty card.  
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.  
Do not apply superfluous efforts at work with lens assembly,  
agile elements and thread connections.  
Due to considerable optical magnification of the eyepieces some  
small structures inside the tube coating may be seen in the field of  
view in the form of dark and/or white points, which does not affect  
the serviceability of the device  
At night, 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 intensifier tube type  
utilized in the device. We would recommend placing the scene of  
observation in the center of the field of view.  
Note: The unit will remain on for up to several minutes after releasing  
the power button. This is normal.  
6.4. Nighttime operations. Take off the lens covers (1) from the  
lenses (2). Turn the device on by pressing and holding the ‘On’ button  
(7). Aim the device to an object placed within 8-15m from you.
