THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS NATURAL RUBBER LATEX

WHICH MAY CAUSE ALLERGIC REACTIONS

CAUTION:

WARNING

Do not permanently attach the scope to dynamic-mount appli-

cations that continuously transmit vibration (such as on vehi-

cles or heavy machinery).

WARNING

Do not point the scope directly at any high-intensity objects

that you must not view with your eyes (such as the sun or a

welding arc). If you do, you will damage the scope.

WARNING

Operating ThOR Series outside of its speciﬁed operating tem-

perature range or voltage range can cause permanent damage

and will void the warranty.

WARNING

Use the power button to turn the scope off before you remove

power (remove batteries or disconnect external power

supply).

WARNING

ThOR Series operates over a wide operating temperature

range (-20°C to +60°C). Not all lithium batteries are speciﬁed

over this same temperature span. Check the manufacturer’s

speciﬁcations of your selected battery to verify the valid tem-

perature range.

WARNING

Do not use any battery other than a CR-123A lithium battery.

DO NOT use any battery(ies) providing a (combined) voltage

greater than 12.0 volts.

WARNING

Do not install batteries of different types (lithium with lithium-

ion rechargeable). All batteries must be of the same type.

WARNING

Always replace ALL 4 batteries. If you install new batteries with

used batteries, the result may be dangerous.

WARNING

Do not replace batteries in a possibly explosive environment,

such as a gas station (or any place where you must turn off

your vehicle engine). If you do, sparks can cause an explo-

sion.

WARNING

Remove the batteries before you store the riﬂescopes for

extended periods (2 weeks or more).

WARNING

Do not carry batteries in pockets containing metal objects

such as coins, keys, etc. Metal objects can cause the batteries

to short circuit and become very hot. In the case of lithium bat-

teries, a short circuit could cause them to explode.

WARNING

Observe battery manufacturer’s guidelines for safe handling

and proper disposal of batteries.
