Condensation accumulates on the parts.  
It is O.K. to use the scope in cold. However, when the unit is  
brought from the cold into a warm environment, it has to  
warm up for up to 5 hours (not minutes!). Only then should it be  
turned ON again.  
2. OVERVIEW  
Visibility decreases and / or disappears.  
Bright light sources (moon, projectors or headlights) may cause  
visibility to degrade or even completely disappear. Move the  
scope away from the light source immediately.  
The night vision riflescope DN-140M is an observational  
optico-electronic monocular device intended for precise shooting,  
and examining a distant objects orientation at night. The unit  
utilizes an image intensifier, which amplifies available  
moonlight,

eyepiece. You may have to re-focus both lenses to achieve sharp  
focus.  
starlight or man-made light. The scope was designed to be easy  
to use, and provide many years of operation.  
NOTE: For best result, use a 50mm lens. Wide angle and/or  
zoom lenses typically cannot provide a full-screen image through  
the DN-140M unit. Camera lens aperture setting lower (wider)  
than f2.0 may result in lower image resolution.  
FILM: Use an ISO 400 film or faster. Also, using a tripod is  
strongly recommended due to the low shutter speeds common in  
Some of the typical activities where the DN-140M Night Vision  
Rifle Scope will be useful:  
law enforcement  
hunting  
search and rescue  
wildlife observation  
night photography and video  
security  
night vision photography.

7. b) Using DN-140M As a Rifle Scope  
The DN-140M Rifle Scope is camera/video adaptable;  
The DN-140M comes with precision windage/elevation  
adjustments.  
A self-contained Infra Red illuminator is included. It allows  
observation in total darkness (i.e basement or cave);  
Long range of vision;  
Automatic brightness protection  
Soft rubberized eye piece makes the viewing more  
comfortable;  
1. Attach the scope to the rifle using weaver weapon mount (8).  
The scope is supplied with a standard 7/8” weaver mount (or  
optional European Mount).  
2. Turn the scope On (make sure the lens cover is on if it is  
daylight).  
3. Adjust the reticle by screwing the windage/elevation screws  
(up-down), (left-right). Each horizontal click is 21mm/100m  
(3/4“ @ 100 yards); vertical click is 12mm/100m (3/8” @ 100  
yards).  
Standard and commonly available 2AA batteries ensure  
nonstop operation of the device for no less than 50 hours.

6.3 Operation at night  
INSUFFICIENT AMBIENT ILLUMINATION  
If you encounter insufficient ambient illumination, use the  
Infra/Red illuminator (5). Activated by rotating switch (10)  
clockwise. The illuminator beam can be focused for optimal  
results, by rotating the lens.  
Warning!  
After transportation or keeping the device at temperature lower  
than -40°C (-40°F), the device must be warmed up to ambient  
temperature, from -10°C (14°F) to +40°C (104°F), relative  
humidity of 80% max. at 20°C (68°F).  
If brightness of the screen is decreasing, replace the  
batteries. Take out the batteries during long periods of non-  
operation.  
Precautions  
DN-140M is  
a
sophisticated precision optical instrument  
equipped with electronics.  
Therefore, it should be handled with due care.  
7. a) USING THE DN-140M WITH A CAMERA OR A  
VIDEO CAMCORDER  
1. Pull the rubber eye-guard (3) out from the eyepiece (2).  
2. Thread the camera adapter (optional) onto the filter threads of  
your camera’s lens.  
The camera adapter uses a 52mm thread size; a common filter  
thread size for many Nikon, Canon and Minolta lenses. You may  
purchase a step-up/step-down ring from your local camera store if  
your lens does not use 52mm filters.  
3. Fit the other end of the Camera adapter onto the eyepiece  
socket of the scope. Lock the adapter in place by using the three  
screws.  
Keep your device away from direct sunlight, impacts,  
dust, moisture, and sudden changes of temperatures.  
Do not touch the optical surfaces with fingers. Doing so  
may damage the anti-reflection coating.  
Optical surfaces should be cleaned with only  
professional camera lens cleaning supplies.  
To clean the exterior of the device, use a soft clean cloth.  
Do not take the cover off the lens if not necessary.  
Keep away from heating appliances and central heating.  
Make sure to switch off the unit when not in use and when  
storing the device for long period of time.  
Do not apply needless effort to the lens assembly, agile  
elements and thread connections.  
Due to considerable optical magnification of the eyepiece  
some small structures inside the tube coating in the form of  
dark and/or white points may be seen in the field of view,  
which does not affect the performance of the device.  
4. Connect the lens to the camera.  
5. Make sure that you are in a dark area and that the lens  
cap is attached, switch the unit ON.  
6. Focus the camera lens until the image is sharp.
