Thermal Vision
Possible cause
The gun is equipped with a compensator or silencer that radiates heat when fired.Solution
It is recommended to raise the height of the riflescope to a level at which the flare is not visible. After that, you will need to re-zero the riflescope.Thermal Imaging Riflescopes
- Accuracy of measurement and maximum range depend on the reflection ratio of the target surface, the angle at which the emitting beam falls on the target surface and environmental conditions. Reflectivity is also affected by surface texture, color, size and the shape of the target. A shiny or brightly colored surface is normally more reflective than a dark surface.
- Measuring range to a small sized target is more difficult than to a large target. Accuracy of the measurement can also be affected by light conditions, fog, haze, rain, snow etc. Ranging performance can degrade in bright conditions or when ranging towards the sun.
- When measuring range to a small-sized target located more that 400 meters away, it is recommended that you put your elbow against a solid surface. This is due to possible hand tremors and difficulty hitting the target with the beam at a longer distance.

- First, adjust the diopter adjustment on the eyepiece to clearly see the icons on the display and in the status bar.
- Second, adjust the lens focus to see the object of observation clearly. Please note that re-focusing may be required as the distance to the object changes.
- Do the image calibration – either in the manual mode (with lens cover closed) or in the automatic mode.
- Choose the most suitable amplification level “Normal”, “High” or “Ultra” depending on the specific observation conditions.
- Go through the different color modes.
- Adjust manually display contrast and brightness. We recommend keeping those two values at similar levels. A huge difference between them badly affects the image quality.

- Do the image calibration – either in manual mode (with lens cover closed) or in automatic mode. Select the most suitable observation mode – “Forest”, “Rocks” or “Identification” depending on the specific observation conditions.
- Go through the different color palletes.
- Manually adjust display contrast and brightness. We recommend keeping those two values at similar levels. A huge difference between them badly affects the image quality.
- Try turning Image Detail Boost ON and OFF. The greatest benefit of this feature can be enjoyed in scenery with high contrast and at shorter distances.
