4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS DN463/ night vision riflescope is intended for observation and hunting at dusk or during night time hours. When operated in conditions without artificial sources of light, it is a passive device. However, in environments of absolute darkness the built-in IR illuminator provides viewing ability. DN463/ is a very capable night vision device, and equally serves the amateur or professional for: Night observation and hunting Patrolling and safeguarding Search and rescue 5.
Some examples of common illuminated conditions: Conditions Natural illumination in the field, lux No moon, cloud cover 10-4 (0.0001) Starry sky, no moon, clear 10-3 (0.001) Quarter moon, clear 0,05 Full moon, clear 0,38≈0.4 Deep dusk 1.0 Dusk 10 Cloudy weather 500 When using in bright conditions (early morning or late evening), do not leave the device on with the objective lens cap open for more than 30 minutes.
soft cotton tissue and alcohol or a cleaning solution approved for use with multicoated lenses. Do not pour the solution directly onto the lens! The scope can be used in operating temperatures, ranging from -30°C to +40°C. However, if it has been brought indoors from cold temperatures, do not turn it on for 3 to 4 hours. If the riflescope is unable to mount onto the rifle securely, or if there are doubts about the mounting system, see a qualified gunsmith.
7. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Install the batteries according to the directions in the section entitled “BATTERY INSTALLATION”. Enter a dark environment. Remove the objective lens cap by sliding it up on top of the objective lens (2). Turn on the unit by turning the selector switch (3) to the “ON” position; you will see the screen light up green.
Turn the knob of the IR illuminator (8) until you get a focused IR spot. After making these adjustments, no further tuning of the diopter is required, regardless of distance or other factors; perfect the image quality using only the knob for the objective lens (6) and that for the IR illuminator (8). When finished, turn off the riflescope by turning the selector switch (3) to the “OFF” position and close the objective lens cap (2).
8. SIGHTING DN463 Sighting in of the scope should be done at operating temperatures, by following the order of these steps: Mount the rifle with the scope installed on a bench rest. Make sure that no sources of light are visible through the scope's field of vision. Set a target at a distance of about 100m; the light levels around the target should not exceed 1 lux. Remove the objective lens cap (2), by sliding it up on top of the objective lens.
Using live ammunition, take 3 or 4 control shots, continually aiming at the same hit point on the target (you may also use a laser bore sighter and align the laser point to the center of the cross hairs). Examine the target and determine if the aiming point coincides with point of impact, if you determine it's necessary to make corrections, you will need to adjust your aiming point.

9. MIL-DOT RETICLE Your night vision riflescope DN463 has a Mil-Dot reticle installed which helps you determine distance to the target if you know its actual size. The Use of a Mil-Dot reticle: Viewing the target through the riflescope place the edge of one post against one edge (top, bottom, or either side) of the target so that the crosshair extends along either its width or height. Using the dots, measure along the crosshair to the opposite edge of the target.
When making windage/elevation adjustments please note that one click of the riflescope's adjustment equals to: For the model DN463: 0.4235 MOA; 0.4435”/100 yds; 1.232cm/100m 1 mil (millirad) equals 3.6 inches at 100 yards or 36 inches at 1,000 yards, or 10 centimeters at 100 meters or 1 meter at 1,000 meters. 1 millirad (1 mil) = 0.001 of the distance = 3.
10. TECHNICAL INSPECTION It is recommended to inspect the riflescope before every use. Make sure to check for the following: Visually inspect the unit is free from any physical damage; cracks, dents or signs of corrosion disqualify it from proper use. Check the sturdiness and proper fit of the mounting system. Ensure the condition of the objective lens, eyepiece and the IR illuminator are free of cracks, grease spots, dirt, water stains and other residue before use.
11. TECHNICAL MAINTENANCE Technical maintenance should be done no less than twice a year, and is comprised in the following steps: Clean the outside metallic and plastic surfaces from dust, dirt and moisture; wipe the scope with a soft cotton tissue, lightly coating it with gun oil or petroleum jelly. Clean the battery compartment's electric contact points using an oil-free solvent.
