Night vision goggles provide you with the ability to see in the dark. Most goggles use highly sensitive light openings that augment any usable light (from the moon or stars, for example) to provide images of what is in the view of the goggles. Using these goggles requires a basic understanding of how they operate and the safety precautions necessary for proper use. The goggles are for night vision, not necessarily for improved field of vision or magnified views.
Instructions
1. Turn the goggles on with the lens covers still on. Let the unit power up, making sure the batteries are fresh and functioning.
2. Place the goggles over your eyes and check for a fluorescent green icon indicating that the goggles are ready for use. Remove the lens covers, making sure you are in the dark and that the goggles are not pointing at any light source.
3. Grip the diopter (focus ring) between your forefinger and thumb and begin to bring the field of view into focus. The focus is ready when the fuzzy edges around objects are gone and the objects appear crisp.
4. Power up the infrared indicator (IR) if images are too dark or if vision is not improved. This increases the usable light and provides extra night vision.
5. Turn the goggles off. Take them off in the dark and let your eyes adjust before moving into any lit area.
