Description of the buttons function

Charging battery pack

• Lift up the lever (4) of the Charger.
• Insert the Battery Pack (5) into the Charger until it stops; lock the Battery by lowering the lever (4).
• Connect the microUSB plug of the USB cable (23) to the microUSB port (22) of the charger.
• Connect the second plug of the USB Cable (23) to the Power Adapter (24).
• Plug the Power Adapter (24) into a 100-240 V socket (25).
• Disconnect the Power Adapter from the mains after the Battery is fully charged (green LED light stays on continuously).

Installing Battery Pack:

• Lower the lever (4)
• Remove the protective cover of the battery compartment (3).
• Remove the Battery (5) from the Charger.
• Insert the Battery (5) into the slot on the device body specially designed for it so that the element D (a ridge on the Battery body) is facing downwards.
• Lock the Battery (5) by lifting the lever (4).

Operation

Installing a thermal imaging module on the optical device

• Remove the eyepiece cover (2).
• Select the Ring Adapter (15) (sold separately) with the insert (14) of the desired diameter depending on the outer diameter of the lens of your optical device (13) (see table). The designation 42 mm / 50 mm / 56 mm in the name of the adapter means the lens diameter of the optical device.

• Screw together the Ring Adapter (15) and the thermal imaging module along the threads of the mounting area (20) until it stops. Then untighten a little (no more than one turn) so that the lever (19) is on the right side (see Figure).
• Evenly tighten the screws (16) until the ball joint grips in the Ring Adapter (15).
• Apply 2-3 strips of double-sided tape to the outer surface of the insert of your choice (14).
• Push the insert (14) of your choice into the Ring Adapter (15) until it stops.
• Move the lever (19) to the OPEN position.
• Before installing the Ring Adapter (15) onto the optical device, it is recommended to degrease the lens body of the optical device (13).
• Mount the Ring Adapter (15) with the insert (14) onto the lens of the daylight optical device (13) as far as it will go.
• If the Ring Adaptor (15) with the insert (14) selected according to the table cannot be mounted onto the lens (10), follow the steps below:
  • Loosen the locking screw (17) with a 2mm Allen key.
  • Untighten the screw (18) with a hex wrench (S = 4mm) until the Ring Adaptor with the insert can be mounted onto the lens (13).
• Move the lever (19) from its initial OPEN position to the CLOSE position.
• Loosen the locking screw (17) with a 2mm Allen key, if it hasn’t been done before.
• Tighten the screw (18) using a 4mm Allen key. The clamping force should be 1.5-2 Nm (use a torque screwdriver) to ensure the lever is correctly tightened (19), while the Ring Adapter with the thermal imaging module should not move relative to the body of the optical device (13). If necessary, tighten or loosen the screw (18) to operate the lever (19) in the best way possible.
• Tighten the locking screw (17) as far as it will go.
• Turn on the thermal imaging module by briefly pressing the ON button (9).
• Align the image centre on the Krypton XG50 display with the image centre of the daylight optical device by carefully tilting the thermal imaging module.
• Align the top and bottom display boundaries of the Krypton XG50 parallel to the horizontal line of the daylight optical device’s reticle.
• Having reached the best possible position of the thermal imaging module, tighten the two screws (16) until stop. The clamping force should be
  6.5-7.5 N·m (use a torque screwdriver to check).

Installing Pulsar 5×30 B Monocular onto the Krypton XG50
The Pulsar 5×30 B monocular (21) allows you to transform the Krypton XG50 into a hand-held thermal imager with 5x magnification.

• Align the tabs on the monocular with the slots of the mount (20).
• Turn the monocular clockwise to secure it on the thermal imaging module.
• To remove the monocular, turn it counterclockwise and disconnect it from the thermal imaging module.

Note:
The monocular can be installed on a thermal imaging module with an adapter already installed. The Ring Adaptor must be mounted onto the mounting area of the thermal imaging module until it stops.

Powering on and image setup

• Remove the lens cover (1) by turning it counterclockwise.
• Press the ON button (9) to turn on the thermal imager.
• Adjust the eyepiece dioptre ring of your daylight optical device until the symbols in the display are sharp. In future, it will not be necessary to adjust the eyepiece dioptre, regardless of the distance and other conditions.
• Rotate the lens focus knob (10) to focus on the visual target.
• Enter the main menu with a long press of the MENU button (7) and select the desired calibration mode: manual (M), semi-automatic (SA) or automatic (A).
• Calibrate the image by briefly pressing the ON button (9). Close the lens cover when calibrating manually.
• Select the desired observation mode (Forest, Rocks, Identification or User) by briefly pressing the MODE button (8) or in the main menu. User mode allows you to configure and save custom brightness and contrast settings, as well as one of three modes as a base.
• Select one of the two color palettes by a long press of the MODE button (8).
• Activate the quick menu by briefly pressing the MENU button (7) to adjust the brightness and contrast of the display (see the Quick Menu Functions section of the full version manual for details).
• Upon completion of use turn the device off by a long press of the ON button (9).
