Care Instructions

  • Avoid exposure to extreme heat, fire, or prolonged direct sunlight.

  • Replace batteries as needed to maintain performance.

  • Clean with a damp cloth and store in a dry location when not in use.

Safety Disclaimer

  • Small Parts Warning: Contains small components that may pose a choking hazard to children or pets. Keep out of reach of children under 3 years old.

  • Electrical Safety: Avoid exposing the product to high voltage or wet environments to prevent potential electric shock.

  • Proper Usage: Use the product as intended to prevent damage or injury.

Infrared and Brightness Disclaimer

  • Infrared Light: The O.W.L. IR emits light in the infrared spectrum, invisible to the human eye. Always confirm activation using compatible devices like night vision systems or IR-sensitive cameras.

  • Troubleshooting Visibility: Do not rely on visible light output to confirm functionality. Use the recommended troubleshooting methods to ensure proper operation.

Troubleshooting

  1. The O.W.L. IR doesn’t seem to be turning on:

    • Check that the safety tab has been fully removed from the battery compartment.

    • Replace the CR2032 batteries if the device does not activate.

  2. My drone camera is not detecting the O.W.L. IR:

    • Ensure your drone camera is equipped with high-end infrared capabilities.

    • Test the light in a dark environment to confirm activation using a night vision device or IR-sensitive camera.

  3. I can’t confirm if the O.W.L. IR is on:

    • Use a smartphone’s camera in a dark environment. If the rear camera does not detect the light, try the front-facing camera.

    • Look for a faint purple or red glow, which indicates the light is operational.

  4. The device stops working after a short time:

    • Replace the batteries with new CR2032 lithium batteries.

    • Ensure the device is not exposed to extreme heat, which can affect performance.

By following these instructions, users can maximize the functionality and reliability of the O.W.L. IR in various tactical, surveillance, and night vision applications.
