CAMERA ADAPTER (OPTIONAL)

CAMERA ADAPTER (OPTIONAL)

To use your MO5-2 with a 35mm camera or camcorder you will need the following:

1)If you plan to use a camcorder, then your camcorder must have a MACRO feature. Most modern camcorders today have a MACRO fea- ture built-in.

2)If you plan to use a 35mm camera, you will need a MACRO lens. If you don’t have one, we advise that you contact your local camera store.

3)You may or may not need a STEP-UP or STEP-DOWN ring in order to adapt the camera adapter to your lens.

NOTE: The camera adapter comes with 37mm and 52mm threads. If you need other sizes your local camera store should be able to help.

Remove the rubber eyecup from the MO5-2

Screw the camera adapter onto the front of the lens on your Video camera’s lens or your 35mm camera’s lens.

Loosen the three set screws on the camera adapter.

Place the camera adapter over the MO5-2’s eyepiece.

Tighten the three set screws to fit snugly to the MO5-2’s eyepiece

You may need to focus the 35mm camera or video camera in combination with the MO5-2 in order to get the sharpest possible image.

We suggest that you find an open space to work in. Focus the MO5-2 so that the scene is at its sharpest. For best results you should disable the auto focus (if any) on either the 35mm camera or the video camera and manually focus the 35mm camera or the video camera. Once the image is sharp, then simply adjust the MO5-2’s front lens to change the focus.

*An important part to remember is that you are not taking a picture of an object that is far away from you, but you are actually taking a picture of the phosphorous screen of the MO5-2 that is only 2-3 inches away.

INFRA-RED ILLUMINATOR

Infra-red (IR) Illuminators are common for night vision technology. The IR light greatly enhances the performance of your scope, while remaining almost totally invisible to the naked eye. In a dark environment, power up the scope and observe a scene with the IR off. Then observe the same scene with the IR on. Note the difference in illumination. It is important to remember that the IR illuminator is simply an infra red light source, and like any light source it may loose its effectiveness over a great distance.

To fix the IR Illuminator to the scope screw the fixation screw on the IR into the thread on the body.

The IR illuminator control buttons are located on its side.

To switch the Digital IR illuminator on/off press “+” and “-” buttons simultaneously. When the IR illuminator is switched on you can see the green LED lit.

By pushing the buttons “+” and “-” you may adjust the IR brightness.

The IR beam is focusable to change the field of coverage. To change the beam width slightly turn the IR lens.

You may notice that beam of IR illuminator might not shine directly in the middle of your viewing image. You can change the direction of the IR beam slightly in horizontal and vertical directions with rotation of small screws on the side of IR.

STORAGE AND CARE

If the device is not to be us d for extended period of time (more than 10 days) remove the battery.

Avoid touching lenses. If fingerprints or traces of dirt or dust appear, clean their surface with a Photographic lens cleaning tissue.

Keep lens cap/daylight filter on when not in use.

The MO5-2 is not harmful to the user or the environment.

Do not disassemble except to clean the front lens and eyepiece: it will void your warranty.

Evaluate the monocular function by looking through it in a lit environment with the daylight filter lens cap on. Never use in daylight without the daylight filter lens cap on.

Never point the MO5-2 at a bright light source.

Adverse atmospheric conditions such as fog, smog or haze and a lack of ambient light (moon or starlight) may diminish the effective viewing distance.
