Focusing

Diopter Adjustment Ring
Diopter adjustment in a night vision device refers to the ability to adjust the focus of the device’s eyepiece to compensate for differences in users’ vision. It allows individuals with varying levels of eyesight to achieve a clear and focused view of the displayed content on the device’s screen.

1. After turning on the device, rotate the diopter adjustment ring until the texts or icons on the screen are clearly.
2. Please note that the image may not be clear after diopter adjustment. As long as the text on the screen is clear and visible, it is sufficient. Note: If the objective lens is not properly focused, the image may be unclear.

Objective Lens Adjustment Ring

1. Before adjusting the objective lens, it is important to complete the diopter focusing
2. Then adjust the objective lens focus ring until a clear image of the target is achieved.

E-compass Calibration

Once the eyepiece is properly focused, proceed to calibrate the electronic compass using the “Figure 8” pattern method. Tilt and move the device in a Figure 8 motion until the compass is calibrated, as indicated in Fig. 7.
