SAFETY SUMMARY

CAUTIONS

• The ATN NVM-14 is a precision optical instrument and must be

handled carefully at all times to prevent damage.

• Do not scratch the external lens surfaces or touch them with

your fingers.

• Wiping demisting shield with lens paper while wet or with wet

lens paper can damage the coating.

• To protect the image intensifier, keep the lens cap on the objec-

tive lens when the monocular is not in use or when checked out

in daylight conditions.

• The IR illuminator is a light that is invisible to the unaided eye

for use during conditions of extreme darkness. However, the

light from the illuminator can be detected by the enemy when

using night vision devices.

• If you use the rubber eyecaps for a long period of time, you may

suffer skin inflammation. If you develop any symptoms, consult

a doctor immediately.

NOTES

• When utilizing the ATN NVM-14 for driving purposes, the gog-

gles may not be used in the hand-held mode. The goggles must

be worn in the head- or helmet-mounted position.

• At operating temperatures below –20°C (-4°F), alkaline bat-

teries are not recommended, as operating life will be severely

reduced. Lithium-iron disulfide 1.5V AA batteries or equivalent

should be used below –20°C (-4°F).

• The purpose of the illuminator is for viewing at close distance

up to 3 meters when additional illumination is needed.

EQUIPMENT LIMITATIONS

To avoid physical and equipment damage when using the ATN

NVM-14, carefully read and understand the following safety pre-

cautions.

• The equipment requires some night light (moonlight, starlight,

etc.) to operate. The level of performance depends upon the level

of light.

• Night light is reduced by passing cloud cover, while operating

under trees, in building shadows, etc.

• The equipment is less effective viewing into shadows and other

darkened areas.

• The equipment is less effective through rain, fog, sleet, snow or

smoke.

• The equipment will not “see” through dense smoke.

• Adjust vehicular speed to prevent overdriving the range of view

when conditions of possible reduction or loss of vision exist.
