INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing a quality LUNA OPTICS® product. With proper care and maintenance your device will provide many hours of operation and outstanding reliability. Please read this manual – it is your key to enjoying this exciting and hi-tech product! NIGHT VISION Without getting too technical and confusing, let’s try to understand how this device works and what it can and cannot do: 1. Your night vision device works on the principle of amplifying (intensifying) available light.
be very limited…oh, and another important point – all night vision devices have green monochrome image – why green? Because human eye can distinct most details of the viewing image when presented in green color…other colors do not show you everything… 3.

INSTALLING THE BATTERIES: Your night vision unit operates on commonly available 2 AAtype batteries. To install the batteries, unscrew the battery compartment cover (13), and install the batteries inserting the positive (+) end first. Once the batteries are inside, replace the cover.
TURNING THE UNIT ON AND OFF: Your night vision unit has a special power and IR switch (10), which allows you to easily switch between ON and OFF modes, while protecting you from accidentally switching on the IR illuminator. To turn the unit ON, first remove the objective lens cover (ONLY IN THE DARK!) and rotate the switch by one dial to ON position. Look through the oculars – you should see green glow. Even if the image is not yet sharp, the unit is operating.
USING INFRARED ILLUMINATOR: Your night vision monocular is equipped with two separate builtin Infrared illuminator lights. The Infrared light operates in a spectrum, which is normally invisible to a naked human eye, however with the help of the tube, located inside the unit, you will see a beam of light when looking though the ocular lens. This Infrared light is here to assist you in especially dark conditions, where there is not enough light for the tube to amplify.
Please note that it is possible to momentary turn the 805nm illuminator on by pressing the momentary IR button (7). This button will only turn on the distant illuminator (11), not the close-up illuminator (14) To turn the second (distant) IR illuminator (11), rotate the switch one more dial to the IR2. Look through the oculars and you will notice a faint red light indicator at approximately 7 o’clock position outside of the field of view. This is an indication of the IR illuminator working.
effective protection source, we at Luna Optics still strongly recommend avoiding any such exposures to bright light, especially prolonged ones in order to preserve the full life of the tube. In addition to the gain control, you may choose to activate the additional light protection sensor by rotating the Menu Switch (8) to P position.
EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY (PRO model only!): It is possible to connect an optional external power supply to the goggles in order to operate them during extreme cold of greater than minus 10 degrees Centigrade. Please inquire about the external power supply availability from your local dealer or write to us at info@lunaoptics.com NITROGEN GAS FILLING (PRO model only!): It is possible to fill your LN-EBG1PRO with dry air or nitrogen gas to prevent lens fogging in extremely cold temperatures.
TROUBLESHOOTING: 1. Unit does not turn on: a) please check if the batteries are inserted according to the diagram b) please make sure the batteries are fresh c) make sure the Menu Switch is in L+P mode (when not attached to the head-mask), or in L mode (when attached onto the head-mask) 2.
