The following steps must be performed before using the device:
1. Open packaging box, remove OTS 4T and check the contents.
• Eyecup
• Monocular Cover
• USB-C cable
• Manual
• Cloth
2. Make sure that nothing is missing.
3. Inspect the device for damage to optical surfaces, body, eyecups, opera-
tion buttons, etc.
4. Ensure that all optical surfaces are clean and ready for use.
NOTE
If any accessories are missing or broken contact ATN’s Customer Ser-
vice at 1.800.910.2862.
CHARGING THE DEVICE
The device is equipped with a USB (type C) port. You will find it under the
rubber cap on the right side of the device (caps are marked with appropriate
icon).
We have included a USB (type C) charging cable with your monocular. Plug
the cable into a USB wall charger that has an output of 2 amps (Wall Charger
not included).
Charge your monocular for 6 hrs using a 2A USB wall charger. Note using a
wall charger with lower amperage will take longer to charge your monocular.
1. Recommended charger is 2A USB charger.
2. Battery charging time (from 0 to 100%) is 6 hours with 2 A USB charger.
3. Battery run time is 16 hours on a single charge.
MICRO SD AND USB (TYPE C) PORTS
The device is equipped with a microSD Card and USB (type C) ports. You
can find them under the rubber caps on the right side of the device (we marked
the caps with appropriate icons).
To open the rubber port cover, gently lift the rubber cover and move it out of
the way.
NOTE
Make sure that the device is turned
off before inserting the formatted
microSD Card into its assigned port.

HOW TO PERFORM A NUC
NUC’ing helps to improve the image quality when the image is degraded
by various environmental factors. There are multiple NUC tables that span
the full operating temperature range, and the camera automatically selects
the optimum table based on its temperature.
You can set the system to perform a NUC automatically at a predefined
time interval. Or, you can turn the automatic NUC off and NUC the system
manually, when required. Also, you can use the NUC shortcut from the Home
Screen by pressing the Power button, provided that you activated this short-
cut in the system settings.
Example: Change of temperature, continuous viewing of a particular warm
object, and movement from one environment to another all may cause image
degradation.
To clean up the image you will need to select NUC from the
Shortcut Carousel after you select to NUC the system. The mon-
ocular will perform the required calibration improving the visual
quality of the image.
PIXEL CORRECTION PROCEDURE
Pixel Correction Procedure is intended to correct “neutral” pixels that are
visible in the FOV, but are not responding to the changing environment or
scenery. They may be white or black and remain static and or nonresponsive.
1. Enter the Shortcut Carousel by pressing the OK button .
2. Select System Settings.
3. Select Thermal Category.
4. Select Pixel Correction Subcategory.
5. Select Manual Correction.
6. You should see a targeting reticle, use the key pad and Scroll Wheel to
move the reticle over the neutral pixel. If it is hard to target the neutral
pixel, press the OK button and select Zoom. Use the Scroll Wheel
to zoom in and out, on to the neutral pixel in order to isolate it. Once you
have isolated the neutral pixel, press the OK button to escape from
the zoom function.
7. Once the reticle is positioned over the neutral pixel, press the OK button
and select Save. This should correct the pixel.
NOTE
If after you have done the procedure outlined above and the neutral
pixel has not been corrected. Try the process on a pixel directly adjacent
to the neutral pixel in order to make a uniformed correction in the FOV.
