2. OVERVIEW
The night vision scope NZT1-M2 is an observational
optico-electronic monocular device intended for examining
distant objects and orientation at nighttime conditions. The
unit utilizes an image intensifier which amplifies available
moonlight, starlight or man-made light. The viewer was
designed to be easy to use, and provide many years of
operation.
Some of the typical activities where the NZT1-M2
Night Vision Telescope will be useful:
• wildlife observation
• nighttime photography
• security
• boating
• search and rescue

Unit flashes
Precautions
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 cap closed
!)
NZT1-M2 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.
Condensation accumulates on the parts.
• Do not touch the optical surfaces with fingers. Doing so
may damage the anti-reflection coating.
• Cleaning of optical surfaces is possible only with
professional camera lens cleaning supplies.
• To clean the exterior of the device, use only a soft clean
cloth.
• Do not take the cover off the lens 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.
It is O.K. to use the scope in cold. However, when the unit is
brought from the cold into a warm environment, it has to warm
up for up to 5 hours (not minutes !). Only then it is allowed to
turn it ON again.
Visibility decreases and / or disappears.
Bright light sources (moon, projectors or headlights) may cause
visibility to degrade or even completely disappear. Move the
scope away from the light source immediately. The image
should be restored in within 2 minutes.
• Do not apply superfluous efforts at work with lens
assembly, agile elements and thread connections.
• 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.
Poor atmospheric conditions such as fog, haze or extremely
dark environments, will decrease the visibility distance of the
unit.

6.3 Operation at night
AT MOON LIGHT
6. OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
Take off the lens cover from the lens (3). Turn on the
device using switch (7). Turning the eye-piece (9) adjust to
achieve the most clear image on the screen. Then obtain the
most clear-cut image of the object focusing with ring (5).
Repeat the steps of focusing if necessary.
NEVER OPERATE YOUR NIGHT VISION DEVICE IN
DAYLIGHT AREAS WITHOUT THE LENS COVER ON!
NEVER DIRECT THE LENS IN THE DIRECTION OF
BRIGHT LIGHT!
As a battery saving measure, the unit has an automatic
delayed shut off. When brightness of the image is being
lowered, press the switch again.
6.1 Pre-starting procedures.
1. Unpack the device. In order to install the battery,
open battery house cover (8), and install the battery.
Check the functioning of the device by switching it on
(click switch 7) and looking through eye-piece (9). 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
batteries if necessary. if everything works, now is a great time
to fill the warranty card.
If brightness of the screen is decreasing, replace the
batteries.
Take out the batteries during long periods of non-
operation.
AT INSUFFICIENT AMBIENT ILLUMINATION
Note: The scope will remain on for up to several minutes after
releasing the ON button. This is normal.
At insufficient ambient illumination use the AP-7
Infra/Red illuminator. Attach AP-7 Infra/Red illuminator unit
using the mount screw (4) to the tripod socket of the telescope
lens NZT, then switch on AP-7 (2). Focusing of the beam is
done by rotation of the lens ring (6). The angle of the beam
can be adjusted as well (5).
6.2 Testing of operation,
The scope can be switched on by short pushes on the
button (7) during 1-2 seconds. The lens cap must be on the
lens (3).
Direct the device on an object placed within 10-20 m
from the viewer. Turning the eye-piece (9) and the lens (3) try
to achieve the sharpest image on the screen of the image tube.
