PREPARING THE DEVICE
UNPACKING
The following steps must be performed prior to use:
1. Open packaging box, remove ThOR-HD and check the contents.
• ATN Help Card
• ATN Thor-HD
• Battery Lifetime Information and Power Kit Card
• FB Group and ATN Forum Card
• Firmware Update and Review Card
• Black Nylon Case
• Thor HD Manual
• Thor HD Quick Start Guide Card
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.
INSTALLATION OF BATTERIES
The Thor-HD will operate on four AA-type Lithium batteries.
NOTE
We highly recommend using lithium AA
batteries. They will provide much longer bat-
tery life. Use only 1.5 V batteries.
Install batteries as follows:
1. Remove the battery cap by unscrewing it
counter clockwise.
2. Insert batteries as shown.
3. Return the battery cap into the housing
socket (screw clockwise until finger tight). Make
sure that the Red O-Ring is not visible to pre-
vent shut off issues due to recoil, but also Do not over-tighten! You want to
ensure you can unscrew the cap next time you replace batteries.
NOTE
Make sure that the device is turned off before changing source of
energy (batteries or USB in power supply mode).
MicroSD, USB
AND HDMI PORTS
The device is equipped with microSD, micro
USB and micro HDMI ports and can be found
under the cap near the battery block (marked
with appropriate icons on the cap).
NOTE
Make sure the device is turned off before
inserting the microSD card into the slot.

8
To Use:
1. USB cap cover should be unscrewed
counterclockwise.
2. Format new cards before use.
3. Insert microSD card as shown.
4. To lock, insert card in the slot and
push it with a thin object (a small coin,
paperclip, toothpick, etc.).
5. Return the cap to the USB cap cover
(screw clockwise until finger tight).
NOTE
There is only one correct direction to
insert the microSD Card. Do not force
the card into the slot, as it may damage
both the scope and the card itself.
To remove the microSD Card from the
slot:
1. Push it in using the same thin object.
2. When it pops up a few millimeters, it
can be pulled with your fingers or tweezers.
NOTE
If you are going to record video, the microSD card should be a Class 10 (10
Mb/s) or faster and have capacity from 4 to 64 Gb.
FIRMWARE UPDATE
Before operating your device, update the firmware to the latest version.
To receive a notification of new firmware updates, please register your
device on our website (you’ll receive an email letting you know when the new
firmware becomes available).
To update the new firmware you will need a microSD card and batteries that
are fully charged.
NOTE
In the event of a power failure during an update. The device may crash,
corrupting its system files. It will need to be sent back to the ATN factory for
service. DO NOT USE an additional source of power during firmware update!
Update the new firmware as follows:
1. Download the ***.bin file from
https://www.atncorp.com/firmware (You
may need to create an account, if you
didn’t create it earlier) and copy to your
microSD Card — root directory.
2. Insert the card into the device.
3. Turn ON the device.
4. In the “Firmware Update” dialog
box select “Yes” to start the update.
5. When the update counter reaches
“100%” the device will automatically restart.
6. Once the device is powered up it will enter self configuration mode.
7. After completing it will automatically restart and will be ready for use.
8. Motion Sensing platform will be configured when first turned on.
9. Once the Firmware update completes, please do a factory reset before using
the product.
10. Please remember to delete the Firmware File off of the microSD card after
all steps are completed.

9
NOTE
If the device does not restart within 30 seconds, remove and re-insert
the batteries, and again power-up the device. Once the device has been
updated you will need to either format the card or delete the update file
manually. In the event you do not perform the previous actions, the system
will ask you if you wish to update the device every time you turn it on.

how to perform the NUC process correctly.
USING KEYPAD
The KEYPAD is programmed to be used
in two different ways:
• Short and Quick Taps — used for most
functions and to get around the menu;
• Press and Hold — designed to be
used in the following situations — ON/
OFF, ZOOM and SHORTCUT MENU.
NOTE
Using LEFT or RIGHT buttons in the
Menu will allow you to quickly choose
Exit Shortcut from any position.
FOCUSING
DIOPTER ADJUSTMENT

MOUNTING YOUR SCOPE
OPEN CLOSE
Secure the ThOR-HD to your Picatinny Rail using the Quick Release Mount
as shown above. However, the ThOR-HD 384 1.25-5x has a different mount —
with two fixing screws.
1. Slightly loosen the fixing
screws on the 7/8˝ weaver
mount built into the scope.
2. Place the scope on the
weaver rail of the firearm.
3. Tighten the fixing screws.
NOTE
Fixing screws may need
to be tightened after con-
tinuous shooting. ATN rec-
ommends using “Loctite”
to ensure screws do not
loosen up during shooting.
COMPASS CALIBRATION
When the compass needs
to be calibrated, the word
“CAL” appears instead of
the Compass Scale. To cal-
ibrate, rotate the three axis
points as pictured on the left,
on the device.
NOTE
After calibrating the de-
vice, please remember that
the compass will work best
when holding the ThOR-HD
parallel to the ground.
Other possible abbreviations:
• ERR — an error was detected, you may need to restart the device or reca-
librate the compass;
• SMF — your device is under a strong magnetic field, move away from the
source;
• UPD — your firmware needs to be updated.
