FOR MORE DETAILS AND FOR VERY

IMPORTANT CARE WARNINGS!

THERMAL IMAGING:

Let’s try to understand how this device works and what it can

and cannot do:

1. Your thermal device works on the principle of

detecting infrared radiation, also known as energy.

Instead of operating in a visible light spectrum of 400-

700nm (such as regular binoculars or scopes), thermal

imagers detect waves as high as 17,000nm or 17µm,

which are beyond our capability to observe with naked

eye. The infrared signal is received by the thermal device

and is then converted into an electrical signal by the

thermal sensor (called microbolometer), located inside the

unit and that electrical signal is then displayed on the

micro display located near the ocular (eyepiece).

2. Your device operates with batteries. Unlike a daylight

scope, where you see the image due to light traveling

through the glass and the prisms, the thermal imaging

device works by projecting the image onto a screen.

While the thermal sensor is the crucial component of any

thermal device, the image display quality is also very

important to have the best possible image clarity and

widest field of view. Since the image is projected on the

screen, it has certain limited resolution…so please do not

expect your device to provide the same crystal clear and

full-color image as you would see through your daylight

scope. The main advantage of this thermal device is that it

detects heat signatures in the conditions where seeing

your target is virtually impossible with your naked eye.

INSTALLING THE BATTERIES:

Your thermal device operates on commonly available 3V Lithium

batteries, CR123-type. You need 2 batteries to operate the device.

Rechargeable batteries are OK, but their peak voltage cannot

exceed 4.2V each.

To install the batteries, unscrew the battery compartment cover (9)

until it pops open and install the batteries according to the diagram.

Once the batteries are inside, replace and tighten the cover.

TURNING THE UNIT ON AND OFF:

Your thermal device has a push Power button (14). To turn the unit

ON, first remove the objective lens cover and push the Power Button

(14) for a little over one second. Look through the eyepiece –the

unit will become operational within approximately 4-5 seconds. To

turn the unit OFF push the same button for approximately 2

seconds. Please note that you can enter Standby mode where the

unit remains on, but the image display is turned off by pressing the

Power Button just momentarily. The red LED power indicator (15)

will remain lit during the standby mode. Always replace the

objective lens cover after the unit is turned off and is no longer is in

use.

FOCUSING THE UNIT:

To obtain the sharp image, you must rotate the Distance Focusing

Knob (3) in either direction, until the image is at its best. You may

have to repeat the process again, until the image is sharp and clear.

SUPER CONTROLLER FUNCTIONS:

Your thermal device comes with a unique Super Controller (8), which

allows for nearly instant image adjustment to the best possible

brightness and clarity without having to enter the menu settings. This

feature is extremely useful when atmospheric conditions change

rapidly, especially during high humidity and/or rapid temperature

changes.

The super controller has the following sequence when short-pressed:

1. IMAGE GAIN (GAIN)

2. DISPLAY BRIGHTNESS (BRGT)

3. SENSITIVITY (SENS)

4. IMAGE DETAIL ENHANCEMENT (IDE)

To adjust the IMAGE GAIN, rotate the Super Controller either

clockwise or counterclockwise while viewing the image –you will

see word GAIN and either positive or negative number appear on

the bottom left corner of the image display. There are 10 negative

and 10 positive Gain levels and a Zero level. Lowering the Image

Gain will allow for better facial and detail recognition. Increasing

the Image Gain will allow for better target detection and

recognition of surroundings, such as houses/buildings, trees and

bushes and so on, allowing you to better see the target

surroundings and to better orient in the terrain.

To adjust the Display Brightness level short-press the

Super Controller once and letters BRGT will appear in the display

–you can now rotate the same switch and Display Brightness will

change. There are 30 levels of display brightness. During

nighttime use, brightness level is optimal between 10 and 20,

depending on the ambient conditions. Keep in mind that higher

brightness levels drain the batteries faster.

To adjust the Thermal Sensitivity (Sensor’s Brightness

Output) short-press the GAIN switch twice and letters SENS will

appear in the display –you can now rotate the same switch and

Sensitivity will change. There are 40 levels of sensitivity (min

sensitivity is 40 and max is 80)

To activate the Image Detail Enhancement (IDE) short-

press the GAIN switch three times and letters IDE will appear in

the display –you can now rotate the same switch and image

details will be enhanced. There are 7 levels of enhancement and

a Zero level. Each IDE level incrementally increases the level of

the detail, similar to the TV resolution upscaling, allowing user to

greatly enhance the image resolution and level of image detail.

This feature is especially useful during high humidity, where

normally level of image detail is poor. It is also useful when

observing object at long distances and when utilizing Zoom

function.

DEVICE MENU NAVIGATION –IMPORTANT!

1. When long-pressed, the Super

Controller activates the main menu

(M).

2. On Once Menu is activated, rotating

controller will highlight each menu

chapter from top to bottom.

3. Once the particular menu chapter is

highlighted in green color, the

selection can be initiated by short-

pressing the Super Controller, after which the menu chapter

will highlight in red color. Now rotate the Super Controller in

either direction to select desired setting. Confirm the setting by

short-pressing the Super Controller, which will change the

highlight from red back to green color. Now the chapter is out

of the selection mode and next menu chapter can be selected

by rotating the Super Controller.

4. Exit back to the main menu by either short-pressing or long-

pressing the Super Controller (depends on the menu function)

5. Main menu can then be turned off by long-pressing the Super

Controller again, or, alternatively the menu automatically turns

off after 15 seconds of inactivity.

Main Menu Selections (from top to bottom):

1. User Profile

There are 3 Custom User Profiles, which can be saved and

deployed when necessary. Each user profile covers variety of

settings, such as Color Palette, type of reticle, color of reticle,

sensor gain and sensitivity, display brightness, Image Detail

Enhancement and other settings. We recommend finding best

settings for a particular terrain or weather conditions and then

saving it as a User Profile, so that next time you are in a

same/similar terrain or weather pattern, you can quickly

activate the settings without having to adjust them all

individually. There are 3 customized User Profiles and 3

factory pre-set profiles (Woods, Mountains & City).

Customized profile settings are automatically saved once

adjustments are made and in order to start a new profile enter

the main menu and switch the User Profile from 1 to 2 or 3,

then perform new adjustments according to your preference.

2. Color Palette

This setting allows user to select the image Color Palette.

Please refer to page-12 IMAGE POLARITY INVERSION /

COLOR PALETTES for more information

3. Palette on button “USER”

function is available via INVERT Button (14) and is normally

done without getting into Menu.

9. Super Contrast Display Mode

This setting allows user to enter the Super Contrast mode,

which is helpful during extremely humid weather conditions,

where targets will appear “washed out” against the

background, as well as during the situations where target heat

is waning. This is especially useful during search and rescue

operations where quick location of the heat source may be

very important, as well as when tracking wounded or expired

game. Please note that Super Contrast Mode is only seen on

the scope’ image display, therefore, if you are recording video

in the Super Contrast Mode, during video recording playback

only normal mode will be visible. Super Contrast Mode can be

utilized with any of the 10 color palettes.

10. USB Transfer Mode

This setting allows you to transfer the video recorded data

through USB connection to your computer or tablet. Enter this

selection by short-pressing the Super Controller. Please note

that this mode disables most of the scope functions in order to

allow the most reliable USB connection. See more details on

page-17

11. Video Recording Mode (Video Start Mode)

This setting allows you to select how soon video recording

starts. There are two options:

1. Normal start –the video recording module is completely

off until you press REC button (11), then the module

starts, taking approximately 15-20sec between pressing

the REC button and actual start of video recording. This

mode allows you to save the batteries when video

recording is not desired, such as simple terrain orientation.

2. Quick start –the video recording module starts as soon

as you power the scope and enters the standby mode.

When REC button is pressed, video recording starts within

5 seconds during the first recording and within 3 seconds

thereafter. This mode allows you to start recording almost

instantly and is useful when frequent shots are taken

during hunt, or any time when video recording is

frequently used. Please note during this mode additional

battery power is used.

12. Date and Time Stamp Position

This setting allows user to select the on-screen position of the

date and time during video recording. Four positions are

available: Right Down –Left Down –Right Up –Left Up in

addition OFF position is available, which removes date/Time

Stamp from video recordings.

13. Auto Bad Pixel Correction

This function allows the scope computer to automatically

correct any bad pixel. Please refer to the IMPORTANT bad

pixel correction instructions on page-17.

14. Manual Bad Pixel Correction

This function allows the user to correct any bad pixel that may

appear during the use of the device, without having to return

the scope to the factory. Please see page-17 for IMPORTANT

bad pixel correction instructions

15. “USER” Button Function

This unique function allows user to select which function the

User Button (12) can control instantly. You may choose to

assign a number of functions to this button, for example

changing the User Profiles, or type of aiming mark (reticle) or

changing the color of the reticle, or assigning a Super Contrast

Mode, or instantly changing the color palette. You may assign

the function to this button at any time and there are no limits to

the number of times the user can re-assign this function.

16. Status Bar Position

This setting allows user to select where on screen the status

bar is displayed. Two positions are available: Up and Down

17. Status Bar Delay Time, s

This setting allows user to select whether the status bar can

remain visible constantly, or will be turned off after a short

delay. Delay time is available between 2 and 7 seconds (in 1

second increments), as well as OFF position, which allows the

status bar to remain visible constantly. NOTE: scope is

shipped with status bar hide time in OFF position.

18. Menu Position

This setting allows user to select on screen display menu

position. 3 settings are available: Up / Center / Down

19. OSD Transparency

This setting allows user to select the transparency of the On

Screen Display Menu, as well as reticle and status bar

transparency. 5 levels of transparency are available along with

Zero transparency. Each higher level of transparency makes

menu more transparent when activated. Higher levels of

transparency prevent developing burn marks, common

with OLED displays, when used over a long period of

time. We recommend setting transparency level on 3 or

higher to maximize the longevity of the OLED display.

20. Auto Power OFF, minutes

This setting allows the scope to automatically power down

after a certain time of inactivity. Default setting is OFF,

meaning the scope will continue to work until manually shut

down, however you can choose an option when the scope will

power down by itself if you have not pressed any button

between 10 minutes and 60 minutes (in 10 minute

increments). This feature is automatically disabled when

active video-recording is in process.

21. Position Profile

This setting allows user to save up to 5 paired daylight scopes

when using device as a clip-on. Profile is saved automatically,

so when pairing to a different riflescope, you must switch

profile from 1 to 2 (from 2 to 3 and so on) in order to keep the

previous profile settings. Short press of Super Controller (8) to

highlight the function and rotate the controller to choose profile

number. Once finished, exit the menu.

22. Image Position Correction

This setting allows user to adjust the thermal image up/down

and left/right in the clip-on mode, in order for the thermal

display to be positioned in the center of the daylight scope.

Short press of Super Controller (8) changes between vertical

and horizontal adjustments and rotating the Super Controller

adjusts the position. Once finished, exit the menu and settings

are automatically saved.

23. Table Position Correction

This setting allows user to adjust the Table menu position in

relation to the image viewed through the daylight scope,

allowing the table to be positioned either in the center of the

view, or away in any of the corners, as you prefer. Short press

of Super Controller (8) changes between vertical and

horizontal adjustments and rotating the Super Controller

adjusts the position. Once finished, exit the menu and settings

are automatically saved.

24. Restore Position Settings

This setting allows user to reset the image and table positions

to the factory settings.

25. Date Set

This setting allows user to set the date, as it would appear on

the video recording stamp. The date appears in YYYY-MM-DD

sequence. Rotate the Super Controller to change the year,

then switch to month by short-pressing the Super Controller

and repeat the same for day. Once day is adjusted, short-

pressing the Controller returns to the main menu.

26. Time Set

This setting allows the user to set the time, as it would appear

on the video recording stamp. Switch between HH:MM:SS by

short-pressing the Super Controller and adjust the time by

rotating the Super Controller. Please note the time is

displayed in military units, so 1pm = 13:00, 6pm = 18:00,

11pm = 23:00 and so on.

27. Clear Video Record Storage
