Automatic calibration mode
With the automatic calibration mode the thermal imager calibrates by
itself according to the software algorythm. The detector (microbolometer)
is closed with the shutter automatically. User assisted calibration with the
CAL (4) button is allowed in this mode.
Turn on the unit, open the lens cap.
Press and hold the controller (1) for two seconds to enter the menu.
Rotate the controller to select option Cal. Press the controller.
Rotate the controller to select mode A. Press the controller to confirm.
At the moment of the automatic calibration the image will freeze for
1-2 seconds.
Calibration is completed.
Note. Automatic calibration may take place more often within several
minutes after the unit is turned on.
Focusing and image adjustment
Open the lens cap.
Adjust sharp image of the display icons by turning the eyepiece diopter
adjustment ring (6).
To adjust display brightness, rotate the controller (1). Respective
brightness level (from 0 to 20) appears next to brightness icon
in the upper right portion of the display.
To adjust display contrast, press briefly the controller (1) (contrast icon
appears ) and rotate it. Respective contrast level (from 0 to 20)
appears next to contrast icon in the upper right portion of the display.
Point the unit at a warm object located at a certain distance, 100
meters, for example.
Achieve a sharp image by turning the lens focus ring (9).
After this adjustment no further dioptre adjustment should be required,
regardless of distance or other factors. Adjust image quality only with
the lens focus ring.
Stadiametric rangefinder
Thermal imagers are equipped with a stadiametric rangefinder which
allows the user to estimate approximate distance to an object with known
size.
Press the "RF" (2) button to activate the rangefinder.
You will see on the display: cursor, measurement distance value and
icons of reference objects for measurement.
There are three pre-set reference objects:
Hare – height 0.3 m
Wild hog – height 0.7 m
Deer – height 1.7 m

Locate the lower fixed cursor under the observed object
and, while rotating the controller (1), move the upper
horizontal cursor relative to the lower fixed cursor until the
observed object fully fits between the two cursors. The
distance to the observed object is automatically
recalculated as you move the upper line.
If the measurement does not take place within 10 seconds, the
rangefinder turns off automatically.
Before being shown on the display, a measured distance value is
rounded up to 5 m for larger values, rounded down to 1m for smaller
values.
To deactivate the rangefinder. Press the "RF" button.
