Gebruiksaanwijzing
1. Aan/uit

Image: The LED emits a faint red glow when the IR flashlight is active, visible to the naked eye.
2. Adjusting Focus (Zoom)
The flashlight features a telescopic focusing head to adjust the beam.
- To Zoom In (Narrow Beam): Extend the flashlight head forward. This concentrates the IR light for a longer, more focused beam, ideal for distant targets (up to 500 meters).
- To Zoom Out (Wide Beam): Retract the flashlight head backward. This spreads the IR light for a wider area of illumination, suitable for closer observation.
Image: The flashlight's telescopic head allows adjustment between a wide beam (zoom out) and a narrow, focused beam (zoom in).
3. Usage with Night Vision Devices
The DARKBEAM 501BX is an infrared illuminator, meaning it provides supplemental IR light for night vision devices. It does not produce visible light for general illumination.
- Ensure your night vision scope or camera is active.
- Turn on the IR flashlight.
- Adjust the focus of the flashlight to match your observation distance and field of view.
- This setup is ideal for activities such as hunting, wildlife observation, outdoor search, and photography in low-light or no-light conditions.
