Charging battery pack

The PROTON XQ30 thermal imager comes with an APS 5 rechargeable Lithium-ion battery. APS 5 batteries support USB Power Delivery fast charging technology when using a standard charging set (charger, USB Type-C cable, power adapter). Before first use, make sure the battery is fully charged.
Option 1

Install the APS 5 battery (4) in the battery compartment (5) of the device.
Connect the USB cable (22) to the USB Type-C connector (9) of the device.
Connect the other end of the USB cable (22) to the Power Adapter (23).
Plug the Power Adapter (23) into a 100-240 V socket (24).
Option 2
Insert the APS 5 battery (4) along the guide into the APS 5 charger (19) slot as far as it will go (see Fig.). The APS charger is supplied with your device and sold separately.
Connect the plug of the USB Type-C cable (22) to the USB Type-C connector of the Power Adapter (21).
Plug the Power Adapter (23) into a 100-240 V socket (24).
Connect the other end of the USB Type-C cable (22) to the USB Type-C connector (21) of the charger.
LED indicators (20) will display the battery charge level (see Table).
Note: Two batteries can be charged at the same time,a second slot is provided for it.

Standby mode is when the batteries are in the charger but the Power Adapter is not connected. In this mode, the indicators are only on for 10 seconds.
Attention! When using a Power Adapter that does not support USB Power Delivery fast charging technology, the flicker frequency of the LED indicators decreases by a factor of 3 and the charge time increases.
Attention! The charger heats up during fast charging. Excess heat is removed through the radiator and does not affect the device operation. Installing Battery Pack

Put the Lock-cover (3) on the rechargeable APS 5 battery (4).
Insert the APS 5 battery (4) along the guide into the battery compartment (5).
Lock the battery (4) by turning the Lock-cover (3) clockwise until it stops.
Turn the Lock-cover (3) counter-clockwise to remove the battery (4).

Operation

Installing a thermal imaging module on the optical device

Remove the eyepiece cover (2).
Select the Ring Adapter (12) (sold separately) with the insert (11) of the desired diameter depending on the outer diameter of the lens of your optical device (10) (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 (12) and the thermal imaging module along the threads of the mounting area (17) until it stops. Then untighten a little (no more than one turn) so that the lever (16) is on the right side (see Figure).
Evenly tighten the screws (13) until the ball joint grips in the Ring Adapter (12).
Apply 2-3 strips of double-sided tape to the outer surface of the insert (11) of your choice.
Push the insert (11) of your choice into the Ring Adapter (12) until it stops.
Move the lever (16) to the OPEN position.
Before installing the Ring Adapter (12) onto the optical device, it is recommended to degrease the lens body of the optical device (10).
Mount the Ring Adapter (12) with the insert (11) onto the lens of the daylight optical device (10) as far as it will go.
If the Ring Adaptor (12) with the insert (11) selected according to the table cannot be mounted onto the lens (10), follow the steps below:
1 Loosen the locking screw (14) with a 2mm Allen key. 2 Untighten the screw (15) with a hex wrench (S = 4mm) until the Ring
Adaptor with the insert can be mounted onto the lens (10).
Move the lever (16) from its initial OPEN position to the CLOSE position.
Loosen the locking screw (14) with a 2mm Allen key, if it hasn’t been done before.
Tighten the screw (15) 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 (16), while the Ring Adapter with the thermal imaging module should not move relative to the body of the optical device (10). If necessary, tighten or loosen the screw (15) to operate the lever (16) in the best way possible. Tighten the locking screw (14) as far as it will go.
Turn on the thermal imaging module by briefly pressing the ON button (6).
Turn on the device and align the image center on the PROTON XQ30 display with the image center of the daylight optical device by carefully tilting the thermal imaging module.
Align the top and bottom display boundaries of the PROTON XQ30 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 (13) 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 on to the PROTON XQ30 The Pulsar 5×30 B monocular (18) allows you to transform the PROTON XQ30 into a hand-held thermal imager with 5x magnification.
Align the tabs on the monocular with the slots of the mount (17).
Turn the monocular clockwise to secure it on the thermal imaging module.
To remove the monocular, turn it counterclockwise and disconnect 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).
Press the ON button (6) to turn on the thermal imager.
Adjust the eyepiece diopter 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 diopter, regardless of the distance and other conditions.
Enter the main menu with a long press of the controller button (8) and select the desired calibration mode: manual (M), semi-automatic (SA) or automatic (A).
Calibrate the image by briefly pressing the ON button (6). Close the lens cover before manual calibration.
Select the desired observation mode (Forest, Rocks, Identification or User) in the main menu. User mode allows you to change and save user brightness and contrast settings in the quick menu.
Enter the main menu with a long press of the controller (8) button and select the desired color palette (see the Main Menu Functions section of the full version manual for details).
Activate the quick menu by briefly pressing the controller button (8) 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 (6). Stream Vision App
