## Questions & Answers

**Q: what is the battery used by this product**
A: The Night Owl NOXM50 uses a single 3 volt 123-type lithium battery.  You can find them on the battery rack of grocery and hardware stores. It looks like a stubby AA and will have "123" prominently on the package. I was only able to find it in a 2-pack for around $9.88

**Q: I cannot seem to get this to focus... Any advice?**
A: You have to turn the ring at the back as well as the ring in the middle.  The ring closest to the  eyepiece handles the coarse adjustment if I remember correctly.  You cannot just adjust one ring to bring the focus in.

**Q: Is this device waterproof or weather resistant?**
A: It doesn't say any where on the box or in the manual if it is water/weather proof, but I hunt coyotes with mine in central NY.  It's typically snowing or raining and the last time we went out it was about 5 degrees out.  I've never had any trouble with it, but I do take the battery out of it and let it come up to room temperature and "dry" before turning it back on.  Same as any other electrical device.  Hopefully this helps, sorry I don't know a definitive answer and can only go based on my experience.

**Q: Does this unit have infra red capabilities?**
A: The unit has one infrared LED that is switched separately from the scope itself.  That is the thing on top of the scope in the picture.  It adds a bit of illumination when there is insufficient ambient light for the scope to work properly.  It is only marginally effective, but it does help some out to about 60 to 70 feet.

    Now I know what is making all that noise on the side of the hill behind our house at night!
  

*by P***. on Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2014*

If you were in the military and have prior experience with night vision gear, you will be disappointed. I recall using my ANV-4 night scope years ago and I can still recall the vivid green landscape as I peered through the scope, and that is what I had in mind when I purchased this unit. It is not the same, not by a long shot, but then again, if you have no night vision capabilities, anything is an improvement. With this Night Owl Optics monocular, you can see in the dark as well as if the lights were on indoors, in fact, that is where we have used it the most to find items after dark when we don't want to wake grandma (who lives with us) who has a habit of taking the main TV remote control to bed with her. Not wanting to wake her, we have used this device to navigate the pitch dark room and successfully locate the remote without needing to turn on lights and wake grandma up. I have used it outside with excellent results, you just have to focus a lot more often as you turn your head while looking through the monocular at different objects so the field of view is small by comparison but it does work, it does give the user the ability to see in the dark and not too shabbily for the money.

    It definately works well, but I had to drop the 5-star rating.
  

*by H***W on Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2012*

I was researching night vision for a hunting friend who needed something to see in the dark shadows after the sun goes down, mainly to study antler size and count on potential trophy buck deer. It boiled down to the Night Owl 5 power night vision. I ordered one to try before suggesting it and was pretty surprised at how well it worked. He ordered one too after trying it. With the faintest ambient light from the moon or far away lighting sources, you can see in areas which are pitch black to the naked eye. The infrared light on the monocular also works far better than I thought. Some people say they remove the battery after use because when they turn it off, it still seems to work for a while. Well it takes a short while for the capacitors to drain down after use,, but I have found that there is no battery drain by using the on/off button. Naturally you won't see police and military using this anymore due to expensive advances in night vision, but they once used this exact technology. If I were to ever need more than this, say the world goes bad, my next step would be in the $8000 range for thermal imagery scope.  But if that time were to ever come, it would be mounted on a rifle for gathering food and protecting my family.UPDATE:Well, after a few months, it stopped working. Indicator lights work, infrared light works, but no image is produced, the eyepiece remains black. I am 63 years old and am careful with things, so it was pampered, never turned on when in light conditions, never bumped or jarred, stored inside the house in it's protective pouch. While observing deer feeding at night, I would turn it on for a while, then turn it off. The last time I turned it off, it never came back on. I put 3 new batteries in it and never lit up again. I only used one battery in the unit before it died. I have contacted Night Owl several times and they only have one lady who can help me, and she has been on vacation for a couple of weeks. I'll report back when I see how this is handled.Update:  The lady at Night Owl called me and told me to mail it to them. Sorry I am so late giving this update, but I had forgotten about it and just got a question on the night scope and saw I had not updated on the repair process.  But shortly after they received it, a new one showed up at my door.  Great customer service. They just need two ladies trained to do that job. :)

    Better than Expected
  

*by R***E on Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2014*

Works better than I expected for the price.  I use it for tracking pesky deer on my property to find where they bed and move.  Also use in the woods to avoid spooking deer in the early morning.  On star lite nights I can see approx 60 yards out in heavily covered woods.  Can see about 100 yards out on start lite nights in open fields.  Sees very well with IR to beyond 100 yards.  Under all modes, i can pick out details of objects.  Can't believe a Gen 1 works this well.Be sure and take time to follow the few easy suggestions from the instructions or you will regret it and can permanently damage the monocular.Only suggestion for the product is that it needs a rubber cup over the eyepiece to sheild the light from escaping and being seen by der or other animals you may be tracking.  Also,  I found that I could easily detect the IR red emmission so feel that animals and humans can easily detect when you are using IR.
