The first screen you’ll see after turning on the device is the Homescreen. It contains Status Bar icons and different Information Widgets.

To open the Menu, perform a long press of the OK button (1 to 2 sec) until you see the Menu appear on the left side of the screen. You will see the following Icons:

After the short press of the OK button to select the pixel for repair, a long press of the OK button will exit the pixel correction mode.

SENS. This option gives you the ability to adjust the thermal sensitivity of your monocular.

HOW TO PERFORM A NUC

NUC’ing helps to improve the image quality when the image is degraded by various environmental factors. There are multiple NUC tables that span the full operating temperature range, and the monocular automatically selects the optimum table based on its temperature.

You can set the system to perform a NUC automatically at a predefined time interval. Or, you can turn the automatic NUC off and NUC the system manually, when required. Also, you can use the NUC shortcut from the Homescreen by quickly pressing the OK button anytime.

Example: Change of temperature, continuous viewing of a particular warm object, and movement from one environment to another all may cause image degradation.

In order to turn the automatic NUC On or Off. Press and hold the OK button for the menu to display. Using your Down Arrow button, scroll to NUC. Press the OK button to enter the NUC menu. Press the Up button to cycle the NUC On or Off. Press and hold the OK button to exit the Menu. You can also manually NUC the scope from the Homescreen by quickly pressing the OK button.

THERMAL

CONTRAST — the difference in luminance and color that makes an object more distinguishable. You can change the contrast by quickly pressing the Left Arrow button to cycle through the preset contrast settings.

THERMAL SENSITIVITY — Allows you to select how sensitive the Thermal Sensor is in picking up thermal heat signatures.

In order to change the Thermal Sensitivity, press and hold the OK button.

When the Menu appears, use the Down Arrow to select SENS. Press the OK button to enter the Thermal Sensitivity Menu. Press the Up button to cycle through the sensitivity options. Once you select the Thermal Sensitivity you would like to use, short press the OK button to save your selection. Press and hold the OK button to exit the Menu.
