1. BRIEF DESCRIPTION  
SIB 16x40GR Gyro Stabilizing Binoculars is a modern,  
universal optical device designed for observation and tracking of  
distant objects and serve both amateur and professional needs:  
Observation aboard aircraft, land vehicles, boats or other  
moving platforms  
Law enforcement and security  
Search and rescue  
What This Warranty Does Not Cover:  
Military  
Space  
NEWCON is not responsible for warranty service should the  
product fail to be properly maintained or fail to function properly  
as a result of misuse, abuse, improper installation, neglect,  
damage caused by disasters such as fire, flood, lightning,  
improper electrical current, or service other than by a NEWCON  
Authorized Service. Postage, insurance, or shipping costs  
incurred in presenting your NEWCON product for warranty  
service are your responsibility. Please include a check or money  
order made out to NEWCON OPTIK for the amount of $15.00 to  
cover shipping and handling. This covers products shipped in  
USA or Canada only.  
The device incorporates the image stabilization technology,  
which enables the user to observe distant objects from moving  
and nonmoving platforms without degrading of the image  
resolution because of jolt or normal hand tremors.  
Combining fully coated, computer designed optics with high-  
speed internal gyrostabilizing system, SIB 16×40GR is the  
ultimate instrument for long-range observation, tracking and  
surveillance. High magnification, easy to carry and handle allow  
shake free observation under any demanding conditions.

7. TROUBLE SHOOTING  
2. APPEARANCE OF THE DEVICE  
The stabilizing mode does not work.  
Check that the batteries are installed properly. Check the charge  
of the batteries. Replace if they are weak. Do not use old  
batteries with new ones.  
The image does not appear in focus.  
Bring the inspected object to the center of the image. Turning the  
eyepieces (8), adjust to achieve the clearest image on the screen.  
If the view still does not seem in focus, clean the lenses. They  
could be foggy or dusty.  
Image is ‘waving’ when stabilizing mode has been engaged.  
This is a typical ‘warming-up’ effect that will last for no more  
than one minute after engaging the stabilizing mode.  
1–hand strap; 2–power supply unit; 3–power supply control indicator;  
4–power supply voltage switch; 5–stabilizing mode engaging lever; 6–  
device front panel; 7–neck strap; 8–eyepieces; 9–interpupillary  
adjustment lever.  
Condensation accumulates on the parts  
In order to avoid misting of the eyepiece lens in cold time use special  
protective covers.  
Image has disappeared during nighttime observation (using optional  
night eyepieces).  
When bright light gets into the objective lens of the night vision  
device it may result in disappearing of the image as the  
automatic shut-off feature comes into action to protect the  
device. Whenever this happens, turn the switch to the OFF  
position. In a minute or two the device will be ready for further  
operation.  
Fig. 1  
For ease of operation, the device is fitted with neck strap (7) and  
hand strap (1). Eyepieces (8), interpupillary adjustment lever (9)  
and stabilizing mode engaging lever (5) are positioned on the  
front panel (6) of the device. Power supply unit (2) is a  
detachable part of the device.  
Power supply voltage switch (4) and power supply control  
indicator (3) are at the front of the device.

6. STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS.  
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 6 hours before operating.  
Precautions: SIB 16x40 GR 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.  
Do not keep the device at temperatures higher than 50oC (122oF).  
Do not touch the optical surfaces with fingers. Doing so may  
damage the anti-reflection coating.  
Avoid shocks and sharp jolts.  
Cleaning of optical surfaces is only allowed with professional camera  
lens cleaning supplies.  
1–cartridge with AA type batteries; 2–connector;  
To clean the exterior of the device, use 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.  
Remove the batteries when storing the device for long period of time.  
Do not apply superfluous efforts at work with lens assembly, agile  
elements and thread connections.  
The manufacturer can only make repair works.  
Due to considerable optical magnification of the optional night  
eyepiece 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.

Fig. 2 – Power Supply Unit  
The device is powered by either a cartridge with batteries (1) or  
by an on-board power source 12±1.2 V via connector (2).  
The power supply unit is attached to the device using delimiter  
(5) and lock (6).  
Pin (3) opens the delimiter of the power supply unit.  
Cartridge (1) with batteries is fixed in the power supply unit with  
cramp (4).
