• Check the condition of the rechargeable battery (this should be charged) and the electrical contracts (there should be no presence of salts or oxidation).

Maintenance

The maintenance should be carried out at least twice a year and includes the following steps:

• Wipe the surface of metal and plastic parts to clear off dust and dirt with a cotton cloth. Silicone grease may be used for cleaning process.
• Clean the electric contacts and battery slots on the device using a non-greasy organic solvent.
• Check the glass surface of the eyepiece and lens. If necessary, clear off the dust and sand on the lens (it is perfect to use a non-contact method). Use a specialized wiping tool and solvent to clean the optical surfaces.

Troubleshooting

This table lists all the problems that may arise when operating the device. Carry out the recommended checks and repairs in the order shown in the table. If a defect should occur that is not listed in the table, or if it is impossible to repair the defect yourself, the device should be returned for repair.

battery

Does not operate from external power source.

| USB cable damaged| Replace USB cable
External power source discharged| Charge external power source (if necessary).
Image is unclear, with vertical lines and uneven background.| Calibration required| Perform image calibration according to Section ‘Calibration’ of the Manual.
The image is too dark.| Low brightness level set.| Adjust display brightness.
Colored lines appeared on display or the image has disappeared.| The device was exposed to static electricity during operation.| After exposure to static electricity, the device may either reboot automatically or require turning off and on again.
Poor image quality/ reduced detection distance| These problems may occur during observation in difficult weather conditions(snow, rain, fog, etc. ).
Smartphone or tablet cannot be connected to the device| The device password has been changed.| Delete the network and reconnect using the device password.
The device is in an area wit a large number of Wi-Fi networks that may cause interference.| To ensure stable Wi-Fi operation, relocate the device to an area with fewer Wi-Fi  networks, or into an area with none.
Wi-Fi signal non existent or interrupted.| The device is outside the area of Wi-Fi coverage. There are obstacles between the device and the receiver (e.g. concrete walls.)|

Relocate the device into direct line of sight of the Wi-Fi signal.

---|---|---
When used in low-temperature conditions, the image quality of the surroundings is worse than in positive temperature conditions.| In positive temperature conditions, objects being observed (surroundings and background) heat up differently because of thermal conductivity, thereby generating a high- temperature contrast. Accordingly, the image quality produced by the device will be higher.

In low-temperature conditions, objects being observed (background) do, as a rule, cool down to roughly the same temperature because of which temperature contrast is substantially reduced and the image quality (detail) is poorer. This is a feature of thermal imaging devices.

2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Information to the user

• Any Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

EMC Class A

Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

To comply with RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 0.00 cm must be maintained between the user’s body and the handset, including the antenna.

Laser Statement

Caution Statement

Caution

• Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

Information for the user

Telescopes and binoculars may pose an eye hazard and thus the user should not direct the beam into an area where such instruments are likely to be used.

Certification label

And it is a Class IM laser product that complies with 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 except for conformance with IEC 60825-1 Ed. 3., as described in Laser Notice No. 56, dated May 8, 2019.
