џ
Insert the battery (10) into the
assigned slot on the device casing
(14), aligning the images on the
instrument and the battery.
џ
When charging, always use the
charger supplied with your optical
device. The use of a different
charger may cause irreparable
damage to the battery or the charger and may cause the battery to ignite.
џ
After being stored for a long time, the battery should be partially charged – it should not be fully charged or
completely discharged.
џ
Do not charge the battery immediately after bringing it from the cold into a warm atmosphere. Wait 30–40
minutes for the battery to warm up.
џ
Do not use the charger if it has been modified or damaged.
Battery defective. Battery should not be used.
Battery charge from 0% to 10%; Charger not connected to the mains power supply.
Installation:
џ
When properly installed, the
battery is locked into the slot with
a special clip.
Battery charge from 0% to 10%; Charger connected to the mains power supply.
Battery charge from 60% to 95%.
џ
To remove the battery, press the
Battery Release button (9).
џ
Do not leave the battery unattended during charging.
Battery charge from 10% to 20%.
Battery charge from 20% to 60%.
Safety measures:
Battery completely charged. Can be disconnected from the charger.
* The LED indicator displays the current level of charge of the battery for 30 seconds when the APS charger is not
plugged in. When the power is connected, the display shows the current status of the battery constantly, the LEDs
additionally flickering to indicate the battery charging process.
џ
The battery is equipped with a short circuit protection system. However, situations that may lead to short
circuiting should be avoided.
џ
The battery is not intended to be immersed in water.
џ
Do not subject the battery to shocks or falls.
џ
Where the battery is used in below-zero temperatures, capacity will decrease. This is normal and does not
indicate a defect.
џ
Do not use the battery in temperatures that exceed those shown in the table – this may shorten battery life.
Store the battery out of the reach of children.
џ
Do not leave a charger with a battery connected to the mains for more than 24 hours after full charge.
џ
The battery should be charged at a temperature of between 0° C and +45° C, otherwise the battery life will be
significantly reduced.
џ
Do not dismantle or deform the battery.
џ
Do not expose the battery to high temperatures or naked flame.
џ
The connecting of third-party devices with an energy consumption greater than permissible is not
recommended.

LED Indicator
*
Battery charge status
EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY
џ
An icon of a battery
will appear on the display showing its charge as a percentage.
џ
When the external power supply is disconnected, the device switches to the internal power supply without the
device powering off.
џ
The device will switch to operation from the external power source, while the APS3 battery will be gradually
recharged.
џ
Attach the external power source to the device's USB connector (8) (Fig. 1)
џ
If the device is operated from an external power source and the APS3 battery is not connected, an icon is
displayed
.
External power is supplied from an external source, such as a 5V Power Bank.
OPERATION
џ
Adjust the resolution of the icons on the display by rotating the dioptre adjustment ring on the eyepiece (1). In
future, it will not be necessary to rotate the eyepiece dioptre adjustment ring, regardless of distance and other
conditions.
џ
Power up the device by pressing the ON button (5).
џ
Remove the lens cover (7). Secure the cover to the strap using the magnet built into the cover.
џ
Adjustment of brightness and contract in the display, as well as turning on the smooth digital zoom, are
described in the FAST ACCESS MENU FUNCTIONS section.
Switching on and adjusting the image
џ
To focus on the object being observed, rotate the lens focus ring (6).
џ
Turn the device off after use with a long press of the ON button (5).
ATTENTION!
The lens of the device must not be pointed at any sources of intense energy, such as laser-emitting
devices or the sun. This may damage the electronic components in the device. Damage caused by failure to
comply with the operating guidelines is not covered under warranty.
CALIBRATING THE SENSOR
џ
A mode
(automatic). The device is calibrated autonomously, in accordance with the software algorithm. The
lens cap need not be secured (the sensor is closed by an internal shutter). In this mode, the device may be
calibrated by the user using the ON button (5) (in semi-automatic mode).
Calibration enables the microbolometer temperature background to be equalised and defects in the image
(such as vertical lines, phantom images etc.) to be eliminated.
џ
SA mode
(semi-automatic). Calibration is engaged by a brief press of the ON button (5). The lens cap need not
be secured (the sensor is closed by an internal shutter).
There are three calibration modes: manual (M), semi-automatic (SA) and automatic (A).
џ
M mode
(manual). Secure the lens cap and briefly press the ON button (5). After completing the calibration
process, remove the lens cap.
Select the required mode in the CALIBRATION section of the menu .
DISCRETE DIGITAL ZOOM
The device's functionality offers the possibility of quickly increasing its base multiplicity (see the table of
technical properties in the Digital Zoom line) by a factor of 2 or 4. Adjust the digital zoom accordingly by pressing
the DOWN button (2).
THE QUICK ACCESS MENU FUNCTIONS
џ
A short press of the Menu button (3) enables you to switch between functions.
The basic settings (brightness and contrast adjustment, use of the smooth digital zoom function and the
stadiametric rangefinder) are changed via the Quick Access Menu.
џ
Enter the menu with a short press of the Menu button (3).
