headlamps, campfires, the moon, etc.)

• NEVER reverse the polarity of a battery

• NEVER disassemble the unit

• NEVER connect the unit to external power sources

• ALWAYS remove batteries when not in use for a long period

• ALWAYS keep the objective lenses covered when not in use

• ALWAYS store in a warm dry place when not in use

ATTENTION!

Image quality of the object, which is being observed

When an image intensifier is functioning, depends

Mainly upon operating characters

of this image intensifier.

Due to this fact black spots, which are inherent in the image intensifier,

may be seen in the field of view of a viewing device. Field of view is

shown below.

Warning!

After transportation or keeping the device at temperature lower than -

25°C (-13°F), the device must be warmed up to ambient temperature,

from -20°C (-4°F) to +40°C (104°F) during 2-3 hours.

Precaution

Phantom 20 is a 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.

• Do not touch the optical surfaces with fingers. Doing so may

damage the anti-reflection coating.

• Cleaning of optical surfaces is possible only with professional

camera lens cleaning supplies.

• To clean the exterior of the device, use only a soft clean cloth.

• Do not take the cover off the lens 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 eye-piece some

small structures inside the tube coating in the form of dark and/or

white points may be seen in the field of view 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 placing the scene of observation in the

center of the field of view.

• Make sure to remove the battery during periods of non-operating

and when storing the device for long period of time.

6. TROUBLESHOOTING

The monocular does not work.

Check that the battery is installed properly.

Check the charge of the batteries.

Replace if it is weak.

The image does not appear in focus.

Bring the inspected object to the center of the image. Turning the

eyepiece focusing lever (3) adjust to achieve the clearest image on

the screen. Then obtain the most clear-cut image of the object

The image doesn’t appear in focus. Bring the inspected object, if the

view still does not seem in focus, clean the lenses; they could be

foggy or dusty.

Unit flashes

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 cap closed!)

Condensation accumulates on the parts.

It is O.K. to use the monocular in cold. However, when the unit is

brought from the cold into a warm environment, it has to warm up for up

to 5 hours (not minutes!). Only then it is allowed to turn it ON again.

Visibility decreases and / or disappears.

Bright light sources (moon, projectors or headlights) may cause

visibility to degrade or even completely disappear. Move the scope

away from the light source immediately. The image should be

restored in within 2 minutes.

Poor atmospheric conditions such as fog, haze or extremely dark

environments, will decrease the visibility distance of the unit.

AT INSUFFICIENT AMBIENT ILLUMINATION

Activate switch (4) for switching on the device. Press button (5) for

switching on IR illuminator. Direct the device on the object to be

viewed.

Note: The I/R turns off, if not being pressed on.

5.4. Using interchangeable lenses.

The unit is equipped with PENTAX “screw type” removable lens

F 50/1.2, M 42x1. It will accept most Pentax screw type lenses, or

using proper adapters, many other lenses.

Note: When screwing back the original lens, make sure to insert the

lens all the way, to prevent humidity penetration

5.5. Using the camera/video adapter.

Before using the adapter, remove carefully the rubber eyepiece.

The adapter consists of 2 rings:

a) Camera adapter is 52x1 mm size. It will go into the filter thread

of lenses for many cameras, lire Nikon etc.

b) Video adapter is 37 x 1mm. It will feet most Sony cameras and

some other as well. If not, check with local camera store and/or

camera manufacturer for proper step up/step down rings.
