4.6 Digital Zoom

The device features 4x digital zoom. Use the appropriate buttons (often the IR adjustment buttons when not in menu) to zoom in or out on the image.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning

  • Use a soft, lint-free cloth to clean the lenses. For stubborn smudges, use a lens cleaning solution specifically designed for optics.
  • Wipe the body of the monocular with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.

5.2 Storage

  • When not in use for extended periods, remove the batteries to prevent leakage.
  • Store the device in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • Keep the lens caps on to protect the lenses from dust and scratches.

5.3 Waterproofing

The GOYOJO NV3185-a is waterproof. While it can withstand wet environments, avoid submerging it in water for prolonged periods or exposing it to high-pressure water jets. Ensure all port covers are securely closed when in wet conditions.

      - Check if batteries are inserted correctly with the right polarity.
      - Ensure batteries have sufficient charge. Replace with new batteries if necessary.
      - Press and hold the power button for at least 3 seconds.
  • Image is blurry:
      - Adjust the focus wheel until the image is clear.
      - Ensure the objective lens is clean and free from smudges.

      - Ensure a TF card is inserted correctly.
      - Check if the TF card has sufficient free space.
      - Format the TF card through the device's menu if it's a new card or experiencing issues (this will erase all data).
  • Short battery life:
      - Reduce IR illuminator intensity when not needed.
      - Use high-quality alkaline or rechargeable batteries.
