FOCUSING THE UNIT:
To obtain the sharp image, you must first rotate the objective lens (1) in either
direction, until you notice in which position the image is at its best. After that,
rotate the oculars (7) also until the image is at its best. You may have to repeat
the process again, until the image is sharp and clear. Once the clear image is
obtained, you no longer need to adjust the oculars, just rotate the front
objective lens to adjust the distance to the object you are viewing.
BRIGHTNESS ADJUSTMENT:
Your digital binocular is equipped with dual brightness control. An automatic
brightness control sensor adjusts the image brightness according to the
available ambient light. In addition a toggle brightness adjustment wheel (8)
allows you to fine-tune the image brightness depending on the ambient light
conditions. Please note that during daylight you will need to tone the
brightness down to avoid image flickering and to preserve the battery life.
During nighttime you could increase the brightness all the way up, however
when utilizing built-in or external IR illuminator, you may need to tone the
brightness down a bit.

Your unit is also equipped with electronic zoom function, which allows you to
change image magnification from 6x to 30x. To increase the image
magnification press the IMAGE button (4) on the + side and look into the ocular
