Congratulations on the purchase of your Bushnell Night
Vision Product. Bushnell Night Vision products are comprised
of high quality image intensifier tubes and optics. Bushnell
Night Vision products amplify existing light, allowing you to
see in dark conditions too dark for the naked eye.
Image is not focused.
Adjust the focus on the Eyepiece. Adjust the Objective Lens. You
must be at least 4.4 ft./1.3 meters from the subject you are viewing.
If no improvement, clean lenses, they may be foggy or dusty.
(See To Focus).
Visibility decreases or disappears.
Bright light sources such as headlights may cause visibility to degrade
or disappear completely. Turn the scope away from the light source.
The unit will restore itself in 1 or 2 minutes. Squeeze and release the
Power Lever to reactivate the scope. Conditions such as fog or
extremely dark environments will decrease visibility.
HOW NIGHT VISION WORKS
Bushnell Night Vision products collect and amplify existing light
through the objective lens, which is then focused on the image
intensifier. Inside the intensifier, a photocathode is "excited" by the
light and converts the photon energy into electrons. These electrons
accelerate across an electrostatic field inside the intensifier and strike
a phosphor screen (like a green monochrome TV screen) which emits
an image that you can see. It is the acceleration of electrons, which
provides gain and enhances the image. This is a Generation I device.
Scope flashes.
The scope may flash when used in a bright environment. It may also
flash during the first few seconds of use in dark environments.
