PIP FUNCTION
The PiP (Picture-in-Picture) function allows you to see both the main image and a magnified image in a
dedicated window.
•
To turn on and off the PiP function see the PiP Mode section in the Main
Menu Functions section of the manual.
•
Press and hold the UP (4) button to change the magnification ratio in the PiP
window.
•
An enlarged image of the central area of the display is shown in an additional
window above and the image area is captured by angles.
•
The main image is displayed with an optical magnification ratio of x1.0.
•
When the PiP is turned on you can control both the discrete and smooth digital zoom. In this case the zoom
value changes only take place in the dedicated window.
•
When the PiP function is turned off, the screen will display at the magnification that was set in PiP mode.
USB CONNECTION
Connecting the device to a computer used as an external power source:
•
Connect one end of the USB cable to the device micro-USB port (9) and the other end to the port on your
computer.
•
Switch the device on with a short press of the ON (5) button.
•
The computer is used as an external power supply. The icon
continue operating and all the functions are available.
•
Note: The battery installed in the device will not be charged.
•
When disconnecting from the computer, the device will continue to operate from the APS 5 battery if it is
present and provided it has enough charge.
TECHNICAL INSPECTION
It is recommended to carry out a technical inspection before each use of the device. Check the following:
•
The device appearance (there should be no cracks on the body).
•
The state of the objective, eyepiece and rangefinder lenses (there should be no cracks, grease spots, dirt or
other deposits).
•
The state of the rechargeable battery (it should be charged) and the electric contacts (there should be no
signs of salts or oxidation).
•
The controls should be in working order.
MAINTENANCE
Maintenance should be carried out at least twice a year and include the following steps:
•
Wipe the exterior metal and plastic surfaces with a cotton cloth to remove dust and dirt. Silicone grease may
be used for this.
•
Clean the electrical contacts of the rechargeable battery on the device using a non-greasy organic solvent.
•
Check lenses of objective, eyepiece and rangefinder. If necessary, remove the particles of dust and sand
(preferably using a non-contact method). Cleaning of the exterior surfaces of the optics should only be done
with products specifically designed for this purpose.

TROUBLESHOOTING

The table below lists problems that may occur when using the device. Carry out the recommended checks
and troubleshooting steps in the order listed in the table. If there are defects not listed in the table or it is
impossible to resolve the problem yourself, the device should be returned for repair.

Poor image quality / These problems may occur during observation in adverse weather conditions
reduced detection distance (snow, rain, fog, etc.)
When the device is used in In positive temperature conditions, objects being observed (surroundings
low temperature conditions and background) heat up differently because of thermal conductivity, thereby
the image quality is generating a high temperature contrast. Consequently, the image quality produced
worse than in positive by the thermal imager will be better. In low-temperature conditions, objects being
temperatures observed (background) will cool down to roughly the same temperature, which
leads to a greatly reduced temperature contrast and a degraded image quality. This
is normal for all thermal imaging devices
Rangefinder does not In front of the receiver lens

Distance to the object exceeds
1000m.
Low reflection ratio (i.e. leaves
of trees)
Large measurement error Inclement weather conditions (rain, mist, snow)
Repair of the device is possible within 5 years.
Corrective action
Charge the battery
Replace the USB cable
Charge the external power supply (if necessary)
Perform image calibration according to the
Microbolometer Calibration section of the manual
Check the calibration mode, close the lens cover
and calibrate the device
Adjust the brightness or contrast
When the exposure to static charges is over, the
device may either reboot automatically or require
to be switched off and on again
Remove the glass or change the viewing position
to avoid it
Make sure that: the lenses are not blocked by
your hand or fingers; the lenses are clean.
Hold the device level while measuring
Choose an object at a distance closer than 1000m
Choose an object with a higher reflection ratio
