COVERT ThermX TRF1600 Thermal Rangefinder Owner’s Manual

ThermX TRF1600 Thermal Rangefinder
Owner’s Manual

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR PURCHASE OF THE NEW THERMX TRF1600 BY COVERT OPTICS.
This Thermal Range Finder is the first in its class to combine a thermal imager along with a laser range finder, all in a compact and lightweight handheld device that can also be bow-mounted. When attached to a bow, the TRF1600 features one-of-a-kind, fully adjustable digital pin sets that can be configured to exactly match your arrow’s trajectory.
The TRF1600 features 4×6-32 threaded holes on each side to allow for the attachment of various mounting plates for use on a vertical bow or crossbow.
Mounting plates are sold separately.
For best results, the TRF1600 display should be viewed no closer than 12 inches from the eye.

SAFE OPERATION

Do not point the unit’s objective lens at intensive sources of light, such as devices that emit laser radiation or the sun. This may render the electronic components inoperative. Your product warranty does not cover damage caused by misuse or improper operation.
This product uses a lithium battery. To prevent the possibility of personal injury or product damage caused by battery exposure to extreme heat, store the device out of direct sunlight and away from other extreme heat sources. Properly dispose of battery and device.
Never look directly into the path of the visible or invisible laser beams.

WARNING: LASER RADIATION – AVOID DIRECT EYE EXPOSURE – INJURY OR BLINDNESS MAY RESULT. This device relies on laser radiation to [aid use].

• Aim the laser only at inanimate objects that do not contain persons or animals. Never aim the laser at a person or animal.
• Never view a laser beam through binoculars, microscope or, other optical instruments.
• Do not aim the laser at occupied vehicles or occupied aircraft.
• Do not aim the laser at a mirror or other reflective/shiny surface; a reflected beam is equally hazardous.
• Do not allow children to use this device unsupervised – injury to the eye may result.
