Night Vision technology works by amplifying the small amounts of light energy available in
most dark environments. If you are in an environment where there is NO LIGHT available to
amplify, then the mathematical formula:
zero times
any number = zero Or the formula: (0 x N = 0)
describes what you can see without assistance from an infrared emitter – nothing.
For this reason, the iGenLE is equipped with an active infrared emitter. iGen emits an
invisible beam of near-infrared light. The beam of light exiting the emitter is not visible to
human or animal eyes but is detected by the iGen and reproduced on the display. In most
environments, you do not need the infrared emitter, but in complete darkness, turn the IR on
to the AUTO or MAX settings. The default setting of the IR at start-up is the AUTO mode.
Also notice that while the light emitting from the IR is invisible, the diode does glow a bright
red inside the emitter and can be detected from a distance. If you wish to remain completely
concealed, then do not use the infrared emitter.
CAUTION: Do not point INFRARED directly into eye at close range.
Keep out of reach of children.
The infrared emitter emits a BRIGHT, although invisible, beam of light. It is not a laser, but like
any bright light, you do not want to point it directly into your eye.
The infrared light emission is produced by a light emitting diode, similar to those used in
modern flashlights.

Image Capture
(picture taking)
The iGen-LE comes with a memory card installed in the slot on the underside of the device.
When image capture is activated, a still photo of the viewed image is saved on the memory
card in both .jpg and .tif format. Both images can be copied to a personal computer with a
standard card reader installed. The .jpg image is more commonly used, but the .tif image is
also provided. When saved images are deleted in the review mode, both files are deleted.
To activate image capture, press-and-hold the IMAGE CAPTURE button.
“CAPTURE” will appear on the bottom left of the display.
While “CAPTURE” is displayed, a single press of the capture button will save the
image to the memory card. The saved image will be momentarily displayed, and
the device will then return to viewing.
If the message “NO CARD” is displayed, then the memory card is not installed or is
improperly installed.
To deactivate image capture, press-and-hold the IMAGE CAPTURE button again.
If “CAPTURE” is not displayed, a momentary press of the capture button will have
no effect.
In Capture Mode, the device will consume more power. So if not actively using
image capture, you may want to deactivate image capture to prolong battery life.
