The thermal imaging scopes have IPX4 degree of protection
(splashproof) but they are not intended for submersion into water.
Attempts to disassemble or repair the scope will void the warranty!
USE OF THE VIDEO OUT JACK
10
“Video out”
jack
(11)
is designed to connect external recording devices
and to transmit video signal to monitors, TV sets etc.
Clean the scope's optical surfaces only if necessary, and use caution.
First, remove (by blowing with a blower brush or canned air) any dust or
sand particles. Then proceed to clean by using camera/lens cleaning
equipment approved for use with multicoated lenses.
Do not pour the
solution directly onto the lens!
The scope can be used in operating temperatures ranging from -2
5
°C
to +50 °C. However, if it has been brought indoors from cold
temperatures, do not turn it on for three to four hours. This will prevent
external optical surfaces from fogging.
Always store the unit in its carrying case in a dry, well-ventilated space.
Remove the batteries if the scope is not going to be used for an
extended period (longer than one month).
Batteries shall not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire
or the like.
