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, which may be hazardous to your health!  
Unit flashes  
NEVER expose the opened objective lens of the activated unit  
in daylight. (Note: 1st generation units remain active for a few  
minutes after switching the unit off). If you test the device  
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.  
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 batteries polarity.  
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  
ALWAYS store in a warm dry place when not in use  
ALWAYS remove battery when not in use for a long period  
Poor atmospheric conditions such as fog, haze or extremely dark  
environments will decrease the visibility distance of the unit.

The night vision binocular BN 5 is observational optico-  
Take off the lens covers (7) from the lenses (6). Turn on the device  
by pushing and holding the “On” button (4). In case of insufficient  
lighting when observing an object which is situated not far from  
the viewer, turn on the infrared illuminator by pushing and holding  
the button (3). As soon as the “I/R On” button is released the  
infrared illuminator turns off.  
electronic device, intended for examining objects and orientation at  
nighttime or under dark conditions. The unit utilizes 2 (two) image  
intensifiers which amplify available moonlight, starlight or man-made  
light. The binocular was designed to be easy to use, and provide many  
years of operation.  
Note: The illuminator will be activated only if the unit has  
been already switched on by the button (4).  
Some of the typical activities where the BN 5 Night Vision  
Binocular can be useful:  
Note: If you look directly at front of the binocular when  
infrared 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.

security  
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.

6. OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS  
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.  
6.1 Pre-starting procedures.  
Unpack the device. Open the battery house cover (2), and install the  
battery. Observe the correct polarity indicated on the housing. Close  
the battery house cover.  
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.  
6.2 Daytime testing.  
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.  
Due to considerable optical magnification of the eyepiece 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  
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.  
Check the functioning of the device by switching it on (push and hold  
button 4) and looking through the eyepieces (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 it is a great time to fill the warranty card.  
Note: The unit will remain on for up to several minutes after  
releasing the “On” button. This is normal.  
Direct the device on an object placed within 8-15m from the  
viewer. Turning the eyepieces (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 two images merge into one. If you wear  
glasses fold the eyepiece rubber guards (5) to obtain closer focus  
distance.
