ABOUT BUSHNELL®EQUINOX™DIGITAL NIGHT VISION

Congratulations on the purchase of your Bushnell® Equinox™ Digital Night Vision. Comprised of high quality

electronics and optics, the Bushnell Equinox is a hand-held digital night vision viewing system that utilizes a low-light

charge-coupled device (CCD) sensor, providing edge-to-edge resolution and image quality equal to or exceeding

"Gen 2" analog units, at any range. Fully multi-coated optics increase light transmission and decrease glare. The

LCD micro display screen features user-selectable monochrome or "traditional" green viewing modes. Both Equinox

models are 20% more energy efficient than other digital night vision units, resulting in a battery life of over 6 hours

(without IR). The Equinox 4x40 and 6x50 Digital Night Vision monoculars are versatile enough for many applications

including hunting, camping, boating/fishing, caving, paintball, stargazing, rescue/recovery, security surveillance, law

enforcement, and video recording in continuously changing light conditions – from dawn to absolute darkness. The

Equinox 4x40 model has a 10 yard field of view at an observation distance of 100 yards, ideal for viewing moving

objects. The Equinox Digital Night Vision units also include a video output port which allows connection to video or

computer equipment for recording or "live" monitoring. A built-in accessory mounting rail (5) enables the user to

attach a laser (for aiming purposes) or other compatible accessories.

HOW DIGITAL NIGHT VISION WORKS

Bushnell Digital Night Vision products collect existing light through the objective lens. The image is then processed

through a 1/3” near infra-red sensitive CCD sensor module and transferred to the micro liquid crystal display (LCD).

Images viewed on the LCD are magnified 4 or 6 times (depending on model). Equinox Digital Night Vision models

are equipped with a built-in powerful IR (infrared) illuminator (10) that enables clear viewing in low ambient light

conditions or even total darkness.

ENGLISH

BATTERY INSTALLATION

1. Open the battery compartment (9) by unscrewing the tightening bolt (counter-clockwise). Remove the

battery cap.

2. Install two CR123 lithium batteries, inserted with polarity in the direction shown on the internal wall of the

battery compartment.

3. Replace the battery compartment cap and secure it by tightening the screw bolt, turning clockwise

until tight.

NOTE: Do not mix old and new batteries together. Replace both batteries at the same time. Do not mix battery types.

POWER ON

Remove the protective objective lens cover (7) from the objective lens (6).

Press the ON button (1) until the green LED indicator (L1) turns on. The LCD

screen inside the eyepiece (8) will power on.

FOCUSING

Point the Equinox night vision unit at the object you wish to observe. To focus, first rotate the diopter setting ring of

the eyepiece (8) until the edges of the rectangular LCD screen appear as sharp as possible to your eye.Then rotate the

objective lens focusing collar (6) until the observed image is sharp. To focus on another object at a different distance,

you will only need to adjust the objective lens focusing collar (6), as the diopter setting is already optimized for your

individual eyesight. You may need to readjust the diopter setting the next time you use the Equinox unit or if the

eyepiece is moved accidently.

POWER OFF

To turn the unit off, press and hold the ON button (1) for approximately 2 seconds until the green LED indicator (L1)

turns off. Replace the protective objective lens cap cover (7) before storing or transporting the unit.

USING THE IR ILLUMINATOR

When using the unit under conditions of total darkness, turn on the IR illuminator (10) by pressing the IR button (2).

When the IR illuminator is on, the red LED indicator (L2) will turn on.

NOTE: The IR light source is invisible to the unaided eye, but can be seen by other people equipped with night vision

devices (be aware of this if using the unit for surveillance or law enforcement applications).

To turn the IR illuminator off, hold the IR button (2) for approximately 3-4 seconds until the red LED indicator (L2)

turns off. (Note that the IR illuminator does not cut off instantly, it will "fade out"). The IR illuminator will also turn off

when the unit's power is turned off by pressing and holding the ON button (1).

The IR illuminator is at the maximum brightness setting when it is first switched on. To decrease the brightness, hold

the IR button (2) until the desired level of illumination is reached, then release the button. To increase the brightness

of the IR illuminator if you turn it down too far, repeat the process by turning the IR on (to restart from the maximum

setting) and again hold the IR button briefly (if necessary) to adjust the brightness to the desired setting.

ADJUSTING THE LCD DISPLAY BRIGHTNESS

To increase and decrease LCD screen brightness, press and hold the LCD brightness button (3). To reverse the

direction of the brightness adjustment, release the LCD brightness button (3) and then press and hold the button

until the desired level of brightness achieved to allow comfortable viewing experience.

NOTE: When the unit is turned on again, the LCD screen brightness setting will be at the same level as previously set.

SWITCHING THE LCD DISPLAY COLOR

To switch the LCD screen color from green to white or from white to green, quickly press the LCD backlight color

mode button (4).

LOW BATTERY INDICATOR

The green LED (L1) starts flashing when the battery power is less than approximately 15% of full capacity. Replace

both batteries as directed in "Battery Installation".

VIDEO OUT JACK

The device is equipped with an analog (composite) video out jack. Connect the video cable between the video

output jack (11) and a compatible device (VCR, camcorder, video monitor, computer video interface, etc) to remotely

observe or record the image produced by the Equinox digital night vision unit. A standard tripod mounting socket is

provided. Refer to "Specifications" regarding NTSC/PAL video system compatibility for your Equinox model number.

EXTERNAL DC POWER IN JACK

To connect the device to a vehicle's DC outlet ("cigarette lighter socket"), plug the vehicle power adapter included with

the device, into the 5V DC power input jack (12) and connect the other end to the vehicle power outlet

WARNING: The voltage produced by a vehicle's electrical system may vary from 12V to 24V depending on the model.

The Equinox night vision units are designed for a DC input voltage of 5V, therefore do not plug the device into the

vehicle outlet using an aftermarket 12V adapter. Use only the supplied power adapter, which is equipped with a

12V-24V to 5V converter and safety fuse.

NOTE: To connect the device to 120V household AC outlet, you may use any commercially available AC adapter

(NOT INCLUDED) which meets the requirements listed in the Specifications list in this manual.

WARNING: The batteries installed in the battery compartment of the device cannot be charged when the device is

connected via external DC or AC power sources/adapters.

TROUBLESHOOTING

1. Reinstall the batteries, making sure of the correct polarity (+/- terminals) orientation.

2. Replace both batteries.

3. Clean the battery compartment, especially the contact points.

Observed image is too bright

The ambient light level is too high (e.g. observation during bright sun conditions).

1. Turn off the unit or place the objective lens cover (7) over the lens. The unit will function normally in light

conditions below 25,000 Lx (day light).

2. Adjust the LCD screen brightness (see "Adjusting the LCD Display Brightness" in this instruction manual).

Image is missing or not focused

1. Re-focus by adjusting the objective lens (6). Adjust the diopter setting if necessary by rotating the eyepiece

(8) until the edges of the LCD display appear sharp (see "Focusing" in this instruction manual).

2. Check the condition of the objective lens (6) surface and eyepiece (8) and clean if necessary.

3. Replace the batteries.

4. In extreme low light conditions, activate the built-in IR illuminator (10).

Image disappears or its quality is reduced

Bright light sources (e. g. street lights at night time) may cause decreased visibility or reduced contrast.

1. Turn the monocular away from the light source; visibility will return momentarily.

2. Readjust the LCD display brightness setting.

Small black dots are visible on the screen

Small dots are normal, minor cosmetic blemishes resulting from the LCD manufacturing process and are not a defect

or quality control error. These dots do not interfere with the reliability and performance of the monocular.
