INSTRUCTION MANUAL E

Congratulations on your choice of a Nikon Laser IRT. Your new scope is the finest example of Nikon's rugged and durable construc- tion and precision bright optics; important qualities for a serious shooter's riflescope.

Whether you use your scope for hunting or for target shooting, the procedure for mounting is identical. After mounting the scope on your riflescope, follow the procedures for reticle alignment.

When setting the reticle for hunting, you should determine your stan- dard range and then adjust the reticle based upon that reading dis- tance. For targets which vary from that standard distance you may simply adjust the position of the reticle in relation to your target, or you may wish to use the procedure for trajectory compensation. It's up to your personal preference.

We hope that you will enjoy your new Nikon Laser IRT for many years to come. Enjoy using it, and above all, always follow safe shooting procedures!

Please observe the following guidelines strictly so you can use the equipment properly and avoid potentially hazardous problems. Before using this product, read thoroughly the "SAFETY PRECAU- TIONS" and instructions on correct usage accompanying the prod- uct. Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

Keep this manual within reach for easy reference.

蘆Infrared/manual control distance measurement system

The Nikon Laser IRT emits invisible, eyesafe, infrared energy pulses that reflect off the selected target back to its optical receiver. Sophisticated precision charge circuitry is used to instantaneously calculate distances, by measuring the time it takes for each pulse to travel from the rangefinder to the target and back. The maximum range of the instrument depends on the reflectivity of the target, its color, surface finish, size and shape.

SAFETY AND OPERATION PRECAUTIONS

Warning

蘆Never look directly at the laser beam or directly at the sun when using the Nikon Laser IRT.

蘆Do not depress the POWER button while aiming with the eye or looking into the optics from the objective side.

蘆Do not operate the unit with other additional optical elements, such as lenses or binoculars. Using an optical instrument together with the Nikon Laser IRT increases the danger of damaging the eyes.

蘆Do not disassemble the Nikon Laser IRT. A product that has been disassembled is not guaranteed by the manufacturer.

蘆If the Laser IRT's body cover is damaged, or if it emits a strange sound due to dropping or for some other cause, immediately remove the battery and stop using.

Cautions

蘆When not using the Nikon Laser IRT, do not push the POWER button.

蘆Do not leave the Nikon Laser IRT within the reach of small children.

蘆Rain, water, sand or mud should be removed from the Laser IRT body surface as soon as possible, using a soft, clean, dry cloth.

蘆Although the Nikon Laser IRT is waterproof, it is not designed for use underwater.

蘆Do not leave the Nikon Laser IRT in an unstable place, as it may fall and cause injury, or damage the equipment.

蘆Be careful that small children do not inadvertently swallow the adjustment cap. If it does happen, consult a doctor immedi- ately.

蘆If your Nikon Laser IRT should fail to operate correctly, dis- continue use immediately and consult the Troubleshooting Table. If you are unable to fix the problem, contact your local dealer for instructions on where to send it for repair.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Lenses

蘆When removing dust on the lens surface, use a soft oil-free brush.

蘆When removing stains or smudges like fingerprints from the lens surface, wipe the lenses very gently with a soft clean cot- ton cloth or quality oil-free lens tissue.

Use a small quantity of pure alcohol (not denatured) to wipe stubborn smudges. Do not use velvet cloth or ordinary tissue, as it may scratch the lens surface. Once the cloth has been used for cleaning the body, it should not be used again for the lens surface.

Main body

蘆Clean the body surface with a soft, clean cloth and a dry cloth. Do not use benzene, thinner, or other organic agents because they may cause discoloration or rubber degeneration.

Storage

蘆Water condensation or mold may occur on the lens surface because of high humidity. Therefore, store the Nikon Laser IRT in a cool, dry place.

After use on a rainy day or at night, thoroughly dry it at room temperature, then store in a cool, dry place.
