Finally, DS repairmen make this request:
When a moveable part on your NVG reaches
its stopping point,
stop moving it!
The num-
ber one reason parts on your NVG break is
because they are turned past their stopping
point. This usually stems from a resolution
problem that proper testing would have
solved. Because you cannot get the clear
image you want, you keep trying to adjust
the goggles even when there is no more room
for adjustment.
So, turn in your NVGs to DS maintenance in a timely way for their 180-day test;
do your own resolution tests with the TS-4348/UV as often as needed.

n cold weather, resist the temptation
to breathe on the optical lens of any
night vision goggles and then wipe off
the moisture with a cloth. If it is below
freezing, your breath will frost the lens.
When you wipe away the frost, you're
bound to leave behind nasty scratches.
Wipe dirt and smudges off with only
lens cleaning tissue, NSN 6640-00-240-
5851. Don't breathe on the lens first and
don't use just any old available cloth.
Don't Breathe!

stop
adjusting the
goggles when the

“If your SCAMP cables have a
yellow band
on them, they
have already been replaced
and are good to go.”
“If they
don’t
have the
yellow band, replace them by
calling Rockwell Collins at
their toll-free warranty
hotline, (800) 797-8429, and
requesting a direct exchange.
Then follow Rockwell’s
instructions.”
