OVERVIEW:

The Ghost Hunter binocular series consist of generation 1 night vision binoculars designed for observation at night

time. The binoculars can operate both in the passive mode (without infrared (IR) illumination) and in the active mode

(with IR illumination). The IR illuminator is recommended for use in low-ambient light conditions or total darkness.

The Ghost Hunter binocular series consists of various models that suit various situations for close range to long range

observation. The standard ¼” tripod socket allows the Ghost Hunters to be installed on a head mount or various

accessories. The Ghost Hunter binoculars are tailored perfectly to a wide range of applications including:

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS:

Your night vision binocular was designed to provide many years of reliable service. To ensure that you get the most

enjoyment out of your binocular, always obey the following Warnings and Precautions:

• Do not direct the unit in the “on position at intense sources of light, such as car’s headlights or burning fire. This may

disable the unit for an unkown length of time or cause of dark spot in the center of the field of view. Do not turn the

unit on in daylight without the protective cap firmly secured over the objective lens, as this may damage the unit. Any

such damage may void your warranty.

• Never leave the unit in the “on” position with the lens cap removed over an extended length of time in an area with

a light level exceeding 1-10 lux (twilight – 10 lux, deep twilight 1 lux). Please keep the protective cap on the objective

under greater light level

• Your binocular was designed to be self-contained. Do not open the body of the scope or otherwise attempt to ser

vice this device. If such a need arises return the unit for replacement or repair.

• Shooting games (airsoft, paintball, ect.)

• Search and rescue

• Nature Observation

• Hunting

USE AND TESTING:

Make sure the batteries have been installed according to instructions found above.

• If you wish to test your night vision device in a lighted area, be sure the lens cap is in place prior to pressing

the “ON” button. The lens cap has a pinhole opening to admit a small amount of light for testing purposes.

• Move into a dark area before activation the binocular.

• Remove the lens cap from the objective lens. (1).

• Activate the device by pushing the “ON” button (2). The green LED indicator will light up.

• If the subject to be viewed is in a completely dark area including lowlight shadow areas, activate the infrared

illuminator (3) by pressing the “IR” Button (4) located next to “ON” button.

• Direct the turned on unit at an object at a distance of around 30m. Rotating the eyepiece (5), focus on the

tube’s screen until it becomes focused. Rotate the objective lens (1) until the image quality is optimal. Re-

focus the eyepiece, if necessary.

Note: When screwing the objective lens into the housing, it focuses on farther objects. When screwing out it

focuses on closer objects.

• When you are finished using your binocular put the cap back on the objective lens, turn off the unit by

pushing the “ON” (2) button (the green LED indicator will go out) and put it into the carrying case.

BATTERY INSTALLATION:

Your binocular runs on two AAA batteries. To install, unscrew the screw of the battery compartment cover (6), open

the cover and insert the batteries into the battery compartment observing the marking on the inner side of the cover

of the battery compartment, tighten the screw of the cover carefully. Do not overtighten.

• Keep the binocular away from dust and sudden temperature drop.

• Do not subject the unit to water submersion, drops, or splashes.

• Avoid dropping or otherwise shocking the unit. The binocular incorporates a sophisticated optical system which

could be damaged in extreme cases of misuse.

CAUTION:

Your binocular can be used in extreme cold. However, when the unit is brought back into a warm environment, please

wait approximately 2-3 hours before using the unit again. Failure to do so may result in damage as a result of conden-

sation accumulating on the internal circuitry of the unit..

USING THE HEAD MOUNT

The Ghost Hunter 1x24 night vision binocular includes a compact head mount. This allows hands-free operation of

the night vison device in partial and complete darkness. The head mount ensures stable positioning of the Ghost

Hunter 1x24 in front of the user’s eyes, even while in fast motion (pacing, runing, and abrupt movements). The Head

Mount is simple and convenient to use. All adjustments on the head mount can be made with one hand, such as the

90º tilt function. In order to operate:

• Adjust the size of the mask to fit your head using the straps. The head mount must

closely fit your head.

• Affix the night vision device to the adapter (7) using the screw (6).

• To adjustthe position of the unit relative to the eyes, loosen the knobs (8), (9) and move

the unit longitudinally, upwards and downwards adjusting its inclination angle. As you

find the most comfortable position, tighten the knobs (8), (9) to fix the setting.

• To watch objects without the unit, place the unit vertically by

pressing and holding the button (10). Next, swing the unit up until

the unit clicks and locks in place. Press and hold the button (10) again

and swing in a downward motion to bring the unit to its original

position.

• When you are finished using the unit, remove the night vison

device from the adapter and remove the heard mount from the

user’s head.

MAINTENANCE:

• Clean the lens with professional lens cleaning supplies intended for use with multicoated optics.

• Blow any dust or dirt off the lenses using dry, compressed air.
• Clean the monocular’s housing with a soft, clean cloth coated in some synthetic cleaning means.

TROUBLESHOOTING:

STORAGE:

Always store the monocular in its case in a dry well-ventilated and well-heated room away from heating / air condi-
tioning vents. Remove the batteries if the device is to be stored longer than one month.

•The scope will not turn on…

Check that the batteries are installed properly. Install the batteries according to the (+) and (-) polarity, ensuring that

the markings on the batteries and battery compartment correspond with each other. Check the battery contacts to

ensure they are clean and free of corrosion; if necessary, clean the contacts. If necessary, replace the batteries as they

may be depleted. Also, be sure that the power is in the “ON” position while trying to turn on the scope

• Distinct black dots appear on the screen…

These dots are minor cosmetic blemishes resulting from tube production processes and do not interfere with the

reliability or performance of the scope.

• The scope flickers, flashes or “snows”…

The scope may flicker or flash when used in a bright environment; to correct this, place the cap over the objective lens

and enter a dark environment. The scope will restore itself to a natural functioning state in several minutes or hours,

depending on how long the scope had been exposed to the light. The scope may flicker for the first several seconds of

use, even when in a dark environment, before the scope corrects itself and functions properly. The scope may “snow”

for several minutes after being exposed to a bright light source (daylight, a car’s headlights, fire, ect.) even if being

operated in complete darkness.

• The image is not focused…

Adjust the focus of the eyepiece and the objective (see Use and Testing). Check that the lenses are not foggy or dusty;

if they are, carefully clean the external surfaces of lenses with a soft cotton fabric. Replace the batter if the total battery

charge is less than 2.2 V. When the unit is brought into a warm environment from a cold one, condensation may ap-

pear on the internal lenses’ you must wait two hours before using the unit.

• Visibility decreases or disappears…

Bright light sources, such as headlights, may cause visibility to decrease or disappear and the image to flicker. Turn the

power off and turn the scope away from the light source; visibility will restore itself in several minutes.
