Bright light sources (moon, projectors or headlights) may cause visibility to degrade or even completely disappear. Move the device away from the light source immediately. The image should be restored in within 2 minutes. Poor atmospheric conditions such as fog, haze, or extremely dark environments will decrease the visibility distance of the unit.
