“BLACK HOT”
on otherwise light color background. In addition, the unit also has options
of 10 color palettes, each with invert option, which highlight heat
signatures in various colors. To change between the Color Palettes, long-

USING LASER RANGEFINDER:
Your thermal monocular comes with fully integrated Laser Rangefinder
allowing you to accurately and quickly measure the distance to the viewing
object up to approximately 700m (760yds).
To measure the distance you must first activate the feature by pressing once
the Rangefinder Button (4).
You will see the shutter box appear in the
display. At this point you can aim at the viewing object and press the
Rangefinder Button once more while aiming
– the distance will appear after
a brief pause. You can switch to display distance in meters or yards through
the main menu.
Should you see “---” message it may be because you are
aiming at an object that is beyond 700m or too close (closest measured
range is approximately 5m). The rangefinder function will be disabled after
approximately 5 seconds of inactivity.
IMPORTANT
: just like any laser rangefinder, the ability to accurately read
distance will depend on the reflective characteristics of the object, as well as
its size and ability to view it unobstructed. We suggest to measure distance
3 times for the same object to determine the most precise reading.
