Defective product from armasight - Armasight Eagle Ghost Night Vision Binocular - Dual Tube, 3x, Gen 3

I received the Armasight Eagle Ghost Dual Tube 3x Night Vision Binocular Gen 3, removed them from the packaging, read the manual to ensure I followed the correct operational procedure and inserted ther CR123 battery. Turned them on, no green glow in the eye pieces, and the unit does not work. I am of the opinion that these binoculars have been opened and returned. All that is seen in the optics with the covers on are an occasional flash of bright light. This unit is definitely defective. This is the second product I have purchased from Armasight that has had problems.
