PULSAR TALION XQ35 PRO Manual

Talion thermal imaging riflescopes are designed for use both at night-time and during the day. They provide exceptional image quality even in adverse weather conditions such as fog, smog and rain without being hindered by obstacles like branches, tall grass, dense foliage, or other debris.

Unlike riflescopes based on electrical-to-optical converters, thermal imaging riflescopes do not require an external light source and are resistant to high levels of illumination.

These riflescopes are designed for hunting, target shooting and recreational shooting, observation and orientation.

It is recommended to inspect your riflescope before each use. Check the following:

• The device should be free of any cracks or deformations.
• The lenses should be free of cracks, grease, dirt or debris.
• The battery level of the device should be full. Electrical sockets should be free of salts, oxidation, or other debris.
• All controls should be responsive.

Maintenance should be carried out at least twice a year and should include the following steps:

• Wipe the exterior surfaces of metal and plastic parts with a cotton cloth. Do not use chemically active substances, solvents, etc. as these will damage the paint.
• Clean the electric contacts of the battery pack and battery slots on the riflescope using a non-greasy organic solvent.
• Recharge the battery if necessary (50%-80% is recommended for normal use).
• Check the lenses of the eyepiece and objective. If necessary, remove dust and sand from the optics (it is preferable to use a non-contact method). Cleaning of the exterior surfaces of the optics should be done with cleaners designed especially for this purpose.
• Avoid getting repellent on the housing of the device. This may damage the appearance of the housing coating.

Possible cause
The object is behind glass, which obstructs thermal vision.
Solution
Remove the glass.

Possible cause
These problems may occur during observation in adverse weather conditions (snow, rain, fog etc.).

Solution
The presence of dots is caused by peculiarities of microbolometer or display production technology and is not a defect.

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.
In cold climates, objects in the background of a thermal image will cool down to roughly the same temperature, which leads to a greatly reduced temperature contrast and a degraded image quality. This is normal for all thermal imaging devices.

Possible cause
The battery compartment cover lock is not fully closed.
Solution
Close the battery compartment cover. Move the lock to the end left position until it stops. The lock tab should be aligned with the icon .
