  • Page 8: Description

    Description Telosthermal imaging monoculars are designed for use both at night-time and during the day and provide exceptional image quality even in adverse weather conditions (fog, smog, rain) and beyond obstacles like branches, tall grass, dense foliage, etc. known to hinder target detection. Unlike night-vision devices based on electron-optical converters, thermal imaging devices do not need an external light source and are resistant to bright light.

  • Page 14: Precautions

    Precautions It is not recommended to charge the battery with the USB cable and wireless charger at the same time. This will not increase the charge rate and may damage the battery. Use the USB Type-C cable and power adapter supplied with the device (or purchased separately) to charge the LPS 7i batteries.

  • Page 15: Recommendations For Battery Use

    Recommendations for Battery Use The battery should be partially charged (50 to 80 %) for long-term storage. Charge at an ambient temperature of 0°C to +35°C (32°F to 95°F) or the lifespan of the battery will decrease significantly. Using the battery at sub 0°C (<32°F) ambient temperature decreases battery capacity.

There is noise or ghost images of previous scenes or objects Possible cause Manual calibration has been performed with the lens cover open.
  • Page 61 Possible cause The device was exposed to static electricity during operation. Solution After exposure to static electricity, the device may either reboot automatically or require turning off and on again. The image of the object being observed is missing Possible cause The object is behind glass, which obstructs thermal vision.
  • Page 62   Possible cause The device is in an area with too many Wi-Fi networks that may be causing signal interference. Solution To ensure a stable Wi-Fi connection, relocate the device to an area with fewer or no Wi-Fi networks.   Possible cause The device has a 5 GHz network enabled, but the smartphone only supports 2.4 GHz.
  • Page 63 2 by following the link. The image quality during the device operation at below zero temperatures is worse than at positive temperatures Possible cause In warm climates, objects in the background of a thermal image heat up differently because of thermal conductivity, generating a high temperature contrast and a sharper thermal image.
