IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Read prior to activation.
You have purchased a sophisticated electronic device. To
operate it properly, please read this manual carefully.
Ignoring operation procedures described in this manual will
void your warranty.
NEVER disassemble the unit. This device contains a source
of high voltage, which may be hazardous to your health.
NEVER expose objective lens of an active unit to bright
light, including daylight. In the daytime objective lens must
be covered by cap. A tiny hole in lens cap provides enough
light for daytime testing.
NEVER aim an active unit at intense light sources, such as
lights, headlamps, campfires, the Moon, etc.
NEVER reverse the polarity of a battery.
NEVER connect the unit to the external power supplies.
ALWAYS remove battery when not in use for a long period.
ALWAYS keep the objective lenses covered when not in use.

Precautions
NVS 15 is a sophisticated precise optical instrument equipped
with electronics. It should be handled with due care:
Do not touch the optical surfaces other than for cleaning.
Doing so may damage the anti-reflection coating.
Clean optical surfaces with professional lens cleaning
supplies.
Use only a soft clean cloth to clean the exterior of the device.
Keep the unit away from sources of heat, such as heating
appliances, sunlight or central heating.
Switch off the unit and remove the battery during the
extended periods of non-operation.
Do not apply an excessive force or pressure to the lens
assembly, movable parts and thread connections.
Small dark and/or light spots may be seen in the field of view
due to considerable optical magnification of the eyepiece.
This does not affect the operational capabilities of the device.
