Operating Features
The Forward F455 attachment is designed for long-term use. Please follow these guidelines to ensure long life
and maximum performance:
•
Before using the attachment make sure you mount it according to the instructions in the "Mounting the
attachment on an optical sight" section.
•
Power off the attachment after use.
•
Do not repair or dismantle a attachment under guarantee by yourself!
•
The attachment can be used over a wide range of temperatures. If the attachment has been operated in the
cold and brought into a warm room, do not remove it from its carrying case for at least 2-3 hours; this will
prevent condensation forming on the external optical elements.
•
Inspect and maintain the attachment regularly to ensure trouble-free operation and to avert and eliminate
the cases of premature wear and tear and failure of components.
•
The battery must not be exposed to excessive heat from the sun's rays, fire of other heat sources.
Using the Battery Pack
The Forward F455 attachment is supplied with a rechargeable IPS7 Lithium-ion Battery Pack which allows the
attachment to be used for up to 9 hours. Charge the battery before first use.
Charging the Battery Pack:
•
Attach the microUSB plug of the USB cable to the microUSB connector (C) on the charger.
•
Connect the USB plug on the cable to the mains adapter.
