Bushnell LYNX 260401 Mode D'emploi page 5

Congratulations on the purchase of your Bushnell Night Vision Product. Bushnell Night Vision products are comprised of high quality
image intensifier tubes and optics. Bushnell Night Vision products amplify existing light, allowing you to see in dark conditions too
dark for the naked eye.
HOW NIGHT VISION WORKS
Bushnell Night Vision products collect and amplify existing light through the objective lens, which is then focused on the image
intensifier. Inside the intensifier, a photocathode is "excited" by the light and converts the photon energy into electrons. These
electrons accelerate across an electrostatic field inside the intensifier and strike a phosphor screen (like a green monochrome TV
screen) which emits an image that you can see. It is the acceleration of electrons, which provides gain and enhances the image.
This is a Generation I (analog) night vision device.
Your Night Vision device is ideal for a variety of professional and recreational uses including the following:
• Wildlife Observation
• Astronomy
• Boating / Marine Use
• Police / Law Enforcement
• Search and Rescue
• Security
• Property Management
CAUTION: As with any analog night vision device based on light intensifier tube technology, DO NOT REMOVE THE LENS CAPS AND
OPERATE THE DEVICE IN BRIGHT LIGHT (DAYLIGHT). Turning on the device's power with the lens covers removed in brightly lit
environments (outdoors or indoors) can potentially damage your night vision unit, beyond repair if the light level is very high and/
or exposure time is extended. The objective lens caps have a pinhole opening to admit a small amount of light for testing purposes.
