NOTE. In order to ensure the longest operation time of the device and full power of the IR illuminator (using one set of batteries) it is recommended to use Alkaline batteries, which ensure the most stable performance.

b. Testing of operation

During the bright time of the day:

Turn on the on/off switch (13). Lens cap (12) must be on. Direct the device at an object placed within 10-20 m from the viewer. Turning the focus ring (10), eye-piece (3) and the brightness control (9) try to achieve the sharpest image on the screen of the image tube.

CAUTION!

The device is not supposed to be directed at a bright source of light: bright lamps, the sun, welding and etc – it may result in the reduction of the light gain of the device. In order to avoid the fatigue of photo-cathode it is not allowed to leave the active device motionless in the excessively bright environment (dawn, dusk, daylight, etc.) for more than 30 minutes.

c. Operation at night

AT MOON LIGHT: Take off the lens cover (12). Turn on the device-using switch (13). Turning the eyepiece (3) adjust to achieve the most clear image on the screen. Then obtain the most clear-cut image of the object focusing with ring (10). Repeat the steps of focusing if necessary.

AT INSUFFICIENT AMBIENT ILLUMINATION: use the Infra/Red illuminator (6) activated by rotating switch (8) clockwise. Select one of three positions of the switch for different power settings (10, 25 or 75 mW). Furthermore, turn the brightness control knob (9) for a brighter image.

If brightness of the screen is decreasing, replace the batteries. Take out the batteries during long periods of non-operation.

Do not forget to switch the device off after end of WORK!

-Place the scope on the rail of the rifle in such a position when your eye coincides with the edge of the Eyepiece Guard or in case of a large caliber (for example, .375 H&H Mag) your eye should be situated at the distance of 2-5cm from the edge of the Eyepiece Guard. The device should be located in the position which allows comfortable observation without stretching forward;

-Place inserts (4,5) in the apertures of the rail (3). The insert (4) is placed with a projection (B) looking downwards in the nearest slot on the rail of the rifle. If there is no such a slot, the insert (4) is placed with a projection (B) looking upwards. It is recommended to place the inserts at the maximum possible

distance from each other;

Place clamps (6) and clamp screws (7) in the inserts (4,5). Tighten screws (6,7) in order to obtain hard fixation. When necessary the excessive front part of the rail (3) can be removed.

Adaptation has been completed and the device is ready for use as a hunter’s scope.

c. Variant III – side rail for East European (Warsaw Pact) rifles.

Side rail can be used for the installation of DN 310 on a hunting rifle with side rail.

The appearance of the device with a side rail is shown below:

It is recommended to contact NEWCON OPTIK for installation of the side rail.

ATTENTION! In case you use other type of binding, to eliminate the phenomenon of shooting point displacement, device binding should be advised with Newcon Optik, because usually such displacement is caused by unqualified installation.
