EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY
The scope can be powered with an external DC power supply (2.1mm
pin) with stabilised voltage ranging from 8.4V to 15V (max. consumption
power 3W) or a 12V vehicle socket.
External power supply (AC/DC) is to be connected to "Power" (10)
jack located on the bottom side of the device.
Please note that the central pin of the power supply that you connect to
the "power" jack of the riflescope, must have marking "+". The power
supply may have marking

OPERATION
WARNING! Do not point the objective lens of the unit at bright
sources of light such as the sun. This may disable electronic
components of the unit. The warranty does not cover damage
caused by improper operation.
Switching on and calibration
Press "ON" (1) to switch on the unit. Green LED indicator (14) will light
up. In case of low battery the LED will turn red and battery icon
start flashing .
Do the calibration of image. Calibration levels background temperature
of the microbolometer and eliminates image flaws.
There are three calibration modes:
manual (M), semiautomatic (H) and automatic (А).
Manual calibration mode
The lens cap (4) should be closed (in 19mm models a diaphragm (15)
inside the objective lens plays the role of the cap. Rotate the wheel (16)
clockwise to open the diaphragm, counterclockwise to close it). Turn on
the unit, press and hold the controller (5) for two seconds to enter the
menu.
Rotate the controller to select option Cal. Press the controller.
Rotate the controller to select mode М. Press the controller to confirm.
To exit the menu, press and hold the controller (5) for two seconds or
wait 10 seconds for automatic exit.
Press the CAL (2) button to calibrate. The image will freeze for 1-2
seconds. Then open the lens cap. Calibration is completed.
In case you see image flaws (such as frozen image, vertical stripes
etc.) re-calibrate the unit.

Press the CAL (2) button to calibrate. The image will freeze for 1-2
seconds and you will hear the sound of the internal shutter. Calibration
is completed.
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 (2) button is allowed in this mode.
Turn on the unit, open the lens cap.
Press and hold the controller (5) 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.

Point the unit at a warm object located at a certain distance,
100 meters, for example.
Adjust the focus by turning the ring for lens internal focusing (6).
After this adjustment no further dioptre adjustment should be required,
regardless of distance or other factors. Adjust image quality only with
