This is useful if you need to quickly look at something with your own eyes, like a map or phone. When you flip an eyepiece up, it automatically turns off, which saves a lot of battery life and keeps light from the eyepiece from giving away your position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is \"Gen 3 White Phosphor\"? \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the technology inside the goggle that creates the image you see. Instead of the traditional green-and-black picture, white phosphor gives you a crisp black-and-white view.

Every Manticore is built with high-performance Gen 3 white phosphor tubes from top-tier makers like Elbit or L3 Harris.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I find the user manual?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e A full user manual is available to help you understand all the features of your Manticore.
