handled carefully at all times.
• To protect the device from damage, do not direct it at bright light sources such as street lights,
headlights, lanterns, fire, etc.
• Do not test the device in daylight for more than ten (10) minutes, even with the daylight filter/

NOTES:
To avoid physical danger to the user and damage to the equipment, you must read and
understand the following equipment limitations.
• The built-in IR illuminator is meant to provide additional illumination when needed, while
viewing scenes at close distances (up to 3 meters).
• To operate properly, the equipment requires some ambient light in the environment
(moonlight, starlight, etc.).
• Performance of the device in nighttime conditions is dependent on the level of ambient light
in the environment. Please remember:
- The level of ambient light in an area is reduced by the presence of clouds, shade, or
objects that block natural light, such as trees, buildings, or large vehicles.
- The equipment is less effective when operated in shadows and other conditions where
there is very little to no ambient light.
- The equipment is less effective when operated in smoke, dust, rain, fog, sleet, or snow.
- The equipment cannot “see” through dense smoke.
