The present operation manual describes functioning and
operational rules of the Tracker-T2.380/Tracker-T4.642
thermal vision binoculars (further: Device).
2 DEVICE DESIGNATION AND KEY FEATURES
The Device is designated for terrain surveillance under any
illumination (day, night, dusk and complete darkness) and any
weather conditions (rain, fog, snowfall, etc.).
The operational principle of the Device is based on the
transformation of the infrared emission from subjects and
objects into a visible image that is easy for human perception.
Key Features:
Unique dynamic contrast system, which provides the
most informative thermal images of the observed objects;
Automatic brightness and contrast correction system,
which does not require any manual adjustments in changing
environmental conditions;
Automatic calibration system of the shutterless sensor
and, as a sequence, the image is noise free and does not
“freeze”;
Detail contrasting system for both target and
background regardless of difference between their
temperatures;
High frame refresh rate and elimination of image
blurring effect;
Several colour schemes with various types of target
emphasising;
Fast start time (not more than 3 seconds);
Dead pixels removal system;
High quality aspheric germanium lens;
High image quality across the full field of view;
Low power consumption;
Hermetically sealed, nitrogen filled;
Compact / lightweight.

* Technical parameters of the Device may be improved without prior notice of the customer.
This Device employs a system of automatic calibration of the shutterless sensor, which permanently optimizes Device
performance. This option together with the dynamic contrast system delivers optimal image without any manual adjustments.
N O T E :
As a consequence of the above mentioned systems functioning, some visual noise in the form of vertical stripes and grain
effects may be visible on the screen under certain conditions. These insignificant disturbances will practically vanish from
sight when a thermally contrast target appears in the field of view.

5 PREPARATION FOR USE
5.1 Batteries Installation
The Device is powered by two batteries CR123. Ensure that
the batteries are inserted into the Device in accordance with the
labelling inside the battery compartment, and they are
adequately charged.
To change the batteries, remove the screw (10) (Fig.1) of
the battery compartment cap and replace the old batteries with
new ones observing their polarity.
5.2 Start-up and Shutdown
Turn on the Device by pressing and holding button (1)
(Fig. 1) for more than two seconds until the image appears on
the screen.
Two-three seconds later the observed image appears in
the field of view.
Turn off the Device by pressing and holding button (1)
(Fig. 1) for more than two seconds after use.
6 DEVICE DESIGN AND OPERATION
The Device has the built-in operational menu with the
structure as shown in Fig. 3.
Focusing of the objective lens is adjusted by rotating the
knob (9) (Fig. 1) to achieve optimal sharpness of the observed
objects.
To adjust the dioptre setting, rotate the eyepieces (8) as
shown in Fig. 2.
The interpupillary distance is adjusted by moving the
eyepieces (8) together and apart for optimal vision through
both eyes.

the battery discharge indicator may show less accurate
information.
In the Tracker-T2.380 model, you can change the screen
brightness by pressing buttons (3) and (4) in observation mode.
In the Tracker-T4.642 model, you can change the screen
brightness or digital zoom (1x / 2x) by pressing buttons (3) and
(4) in observation mode depending on which button was
pressed first.
Brightness adjustment and digital zoom indicators appear
in the top centre of the screen.
Battery discharge indicator is shown in the top of the
screen and measured in percent.

8 TROUBLESHOOTING
Table 2
Malfunction
description
Troubleshooting solution
The Device does not work
Check whether the batteries are installed properly. Check the charge of the batteries. Replace them
if they are weak.
The target does not appear
in focus
Rotate the eyepieces (7) (Fig.1) and adjust the interpupillary distance (see Fig. 2) until you get a
clear image of the screen for each eye. Then achieve the best-focused image of the object by rotating
the objective lens knob (10). If the image cannot be focused as described in this manual, clean the
lenses. They could be moisturized or dusty.
Condensation accumulates
on the parts
It is recommended to use periodically a special protective anti-misting liquid in order to avoid
misting of the objective lens in cold conditions. This liquid is included in the auxiliary delivery set.
Dots on the screen
Production technology of the display allows a small amount of dark and bright dots in the image.
These dots may also appear after some usage. Most of the appeared dots can be removed by using
the function DEAD PIXELS REMOVAL (see 6.5.2).
A T T E N T I O N !
While the Device is operating, presence of one or several darker or lighter segments (spots, stripes) in the field of view is
allowed. Mostly often, these segments appear if there is a large temperature gradient between the place, where the observer
is located, and the outside environment. For example, this may happen when you observe the terrain from a warm room
through an open window. In some cases, these segments can be removed by using the CALIBRATION function.

9 TECHNICAL SERVICE
Technical service comprises external appearance
inspection and supplied delivery set completeness check.
The external appearance of the Device must correlate to the
technical documentation. Dents on external surfaces are not
allowed. All fixtures must be tightened. Rotation and
spontaneous unscrewing of parts during operation are not
allowed. All moving components of the Device must be moved
smoothly without backlash and jamming.
It is recommended to periodically clean the external optical
parts with the supplied cloth to protect them from moisture and
dust.
10 TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE
Store the Device in the supplied protective bag or a hard
case with the protective objective lens cap on. Store the Device
at temperatures from than 10oC to 35oC with relative humidity
not exceeding 85%. Remove the batteries from the Device
during extended periods of non-operation to avoid batteries
leakage.
Transportation of the Device in the protective bag or hard
case can be performed by any transport to any distance,
including transportation by air in a hermetically sealed
compartment.
Preserve the Device from impacts, direct sunlight, rain,
snow, and dust.
