CAUTIONS:
Wolf-14 night vision monocular is precision electro-optical instruments and require careful handling. Please follow the below instructions of safe use: � Do not disassemble the unit.
� Keep the unit clean; protect it from moisture, sudden temperature drops and shocks.
� Be careful not to touch the glass surfaces. If you leave finger-prints on, or contaminate the glass surfaces, use only clean and soft materials to clean it.
� Protect the unit from excessive lighting. Do not turn the monocular on in daylight with the front lens cap off. Do not point the monocular at the bright light source (a fire, car headlights, lanterns, street lamps, room lights, etc.).
� Do not test the device in daylight conditions even with the daylight filter/lens cap on for more than ten (10) minutes.
� Do not leave the unit in on position during stops in operation.
� Remove the battery from the unit when it is planned to store for over 3 days. Failure to do so may damage the unit.
EQUIPMENT LIMITATIONS
To avoid injuries and equipment damage from using the Wolf-14, carefully read and consider the following equipment limitations.
� The unit is equipped with an Automatic Shut-off System. If the monocular is removed from the head or helmet while turned on, they will turn off automatically. To turn the unit on after automatic shut-off, you will need to press the operating knob.
� The built-in IR illuminator is meant to provide additional illumination when needed, while viewing scenes at close distances (up to 3 meters).
� The equipment requires some night light (moonlight, starlight, etc.) to operate. The level of equipment performance depends upon the level of light.
� Night light reduces by passing through the clouds, while operating under trees, under the shadows of houses, etc.
� The device results less effective in peering into shadows and other darkened areas.
� The device results less effective in viewing through rain, fog, sleet, snow or smoke.
� The equipment will not "see" through the dense smoke.
� Its protection system cuts off the image intensifier when ambient light level continues exceeding of 40 lux for the following 10 seconds.
� Under starlight conditions low contrast environments (such as snow-covered territory, sandy deserts, large bodies of water or grassy hills) degrade visibility thereby disguising or masking changes in terrain.
� Under too low-light conditions the monocular loses some of the resolution that it has under full moon.
