6. STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE 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. Precautions: PYGMY 2M is a sophisticated 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 sharp changes of temperatures.
• Due to the considerable optical magnification of the eyepiece some small structures inside the tube coating in the form of dark and/or white spots may be seen in the field of view. This does not affect the functional ability of the device. • The resolution may vary 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 recommend placing the scene of observation in the center of the field of view.
7. TROUBLESHOOTING 7.1. The monocular does not work. Check that the batteries are installed properly. Check the charge of the batteries. Replace batteries if necessary. 7.2. The image does not appear in focus. Bring object to the center of the image. Turning the eyepiece (3) and the objective lens (2) obtain the most clear-cut image. If the image still does not seem in focus, clean the lenses; they could be foggy or dusty. 7.3.
7.5. 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 visibility, such as fog or haze, or extremely dark environments, will decrease the observation distance.
