4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Focus Adjustment
Rotate the focus wheel (refer to Figure 2.3) until the image in the eyepiece appears clear and sharp.
4.2 Day and Night Vision Modes

- In video mode, press the capture button to start recording. Press it again to stop recording.
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
