IMAGE MODES
You can change image modes by short pressing the Image Mode button.
The device will scroll through the available thermal colour modes.
LED TORCH
The LED Torch on the front of the unit can be momentarily turned on by pressing
and holding the Image Mode button when the unit is turned off. The torch will
only stay on while the button is pushed down.
E-ZOOM
Click the E-Zoom button to cycle through the zoom settings.
NOTE:
The E-Zoom is an electronic zoom, not optical. Each time you zoom you
lose half the resolution of the previous zoom and the image will become more
pixelated each time.
SCREEN BRIGHTNESS
The Screen Brightness can be adjusted by short pressing the Brightness button.
This will cycle through the brightness settings.
HINT:
At night, it is recommend having the Screen Brightness set to low to
preserve your night vision. During the day, set the Screen Brightness to high for
best image quality.
NUC – THERMAL CALIBRATION
There are two calibration (NUC – Non Uniform Calibration) methods that can be
selected. M – Manual Mode and A – Automatic Mode.
To differentiate what mode the unit is in, an A – Automatic Mode or M – Manual
Mode and a Shutter icon will be shown in the bottom right of the screen.
To change modes, long press the Brightness, E-Zoom and Image Mode buttons
together.
To calibrate while in M – Manual mode requires the lens cap to be on and a long
press of the Brightness button (if the lens cap is not installed, ghosting will
occur). Alternately, to manually calibrate with the Shutter (lens cap does not
need to be on), short press the E-Zoom and Brightness buttons together.
If A – Automatic mode is selected, the device will periodically (every 5-30
seconds) calibrate itself using the internal Electronic Shutter (this can be heard
clicking). When first powered on, the unit calibrates often, every 1-5 seconds.
This will occur less as the unit warms up and becomes stable. While in A –
Automatic mode, the unit can be manually calibrated as per M – Manual as well.
HINT:
Using Automatic Mode is recommended.
CHARGING
If the indicator light is red the battery is low. This will also be shown on the
screen battery indicator. To charge, open the USB port on top of the device and
plug in the supplied cable, then plug the other end into a 5V USB port such as
a mobile phone charger for charging (not supplied). The indicator light will turn
yellow/red when charging and green when fully charged.

Items in distance not in focus
Try focus Eyepiece Adjustment (side of the
unit), unit focus is fixed and factory set.
If this fails the front lens can be focused
with a lens spanner
