SAFETY STATEMENT
Be sure to observe all local, state and federal laws. Shooting a gun at
night is highly dangerous and can lead to lethal consequences.
Know and understand your shooting field. Bullets travel farther than the
range of thermal detectors so care must be taken to ensure there are
no unintended targets beyond the actual target.
Be sure you identify your target - to hunters unfamiliar with thermal
technology, hogs and farm animals and even people might appear
similar in an IR image.
WARNING:
DO NOT DISASSEMBLE THE DEVICE.
Disassembly can cause permanent damage.
Important Safety Instructions
• Read and follow all instructions
• Heed all warnings
• Only use the attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer
• All service must be provided by the manufacturer
WARNING:
Always make sure your firearm is unloaded before you place the scope
on the firearm. Reconfirm that the chamber is empty if you stop the
procedure then resume later. Safe handling rules should be followed at
all times.
WARNING:
If a scope is mounted too far to the rear, the eyepiece can injure the
shooter’s brow. Shooting at an uphill angle also increases this hazard
because it shortens the distance between the brow and the rear of the
scope. For this reason, FLIR scopes are engineered to provide generous
eye relief. Therefore, when mounting your scope, we recommend
positioning it as far forward in the mounts as possible to take full
advantage of this generous eye relief. With hard-recoiling rifles,
serious injury or even death can result from eyepiece impact with the
shooter during the recoil process when discharging the firearm. Be
certain that your installation provides sufficient eye relief for the recoil
generated by your rifle before shooting the firearm.
NOTE:
Give special attention to this warning when shooting uphill and/or
from a prone position. These shooting conditions can dramatically
reduce eye relief. PLEASE maintain maximum eye relief when shooting
heavy recoiling and/or magnum firearms. THE USER ASSUMES ALL
RESPONSIBILITY AND LIABILITY FOR HAVING THE FLIR WEAPON
SIGHT PROPERLY MOUNTED TO A FIREARM AND USING THE FLIR
WEAPON SIGHT PROPERLY. ALWAYS CHECK THE CONDITION OF YOUR
MOUNTING SYSTEM PRIOR TO USING YOUR FIREARM.
WARNING:
This product contains natural rubber latex, which may cause
allergic reactions! The FDA has reported an increase in the number
of deaths that are associated with an apparent sensitivity to natural
latex proteins. If you are allergic to latex, it is a good idea to learn
which products contain it and strictly avoid exposure to those products.
CAUTION:
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than
those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
CAUTION:
• Do not point the camera at high-intensity radiation sources such as
the sun, lasers, or arc welders
• Do not leave fingerprints on the camera’s infrared optics. Clean only

4. Verify that the adjusted lever-cam lock securely holds the weapon
mounting rail.
5. Repeat the procedure to adjust the clamping device’s second lever-
cam lock.
3.4 BORE SIGHTING
Once the camera has been mounted, it is necessary to adjust the reticle
so that the point of aim coincides with the desired Point of Impact (POI).
NOTE: The ThermoSight Pro must be zeroed each time it is mounted to
a new weapon.
Since this unit is a thermal camera, it will be necessary to adjust the
zero while observing a target with some level of thermal contrast.
To create a target with thermal contrast, it may be useful to tape one or
more disposable hand warmers to the target to get some temperature
difference. For longer distances, it may be necessary to use the larger
heating pads.
The rifle should be secured or held in a steady position.
Take aim by centering the reticle on the target and fire a series of shots
(3-4). Find the point of impact and measure its vertical and horizontal
deviations from the center of the target. Work out the values of
boresight correction required to compensate for the measured deviation
of the point of impact from the center of the target.
To access the boresight function, push and hold down the central ●
button on the control panel and then select BORESIGHT menu.

13
FLIRTHERMOSIGHT PRO USER MANUAL -Rev 1
By default, the reticle will be set dead center at (0,0). Use the
BORESIGHT MENU (See Part 4.5) to apply corrections required to bring
the point of impact as close as possible to the center of the target.
Use ◄/► buttons to adjust for windage. Moving the reticle in the
positive direction (to the right) will move the point of impact to the left.
Moving the reticle in the negative direction (to the left) will move the
point of impact to the right.
Use ▲/▼buttons to adjust for elevation. Moving the reticle in the
positive direction (up) will move the point of impact down. Moving the
reticle in the negative direction (down) will move the point of impact
up.
The following table is provided for convenience of calculating the zero
adjust for the various ThermoSight Pro models:
MODEL LENS BORESIGHT
INCREMENT
ThermoSight Pro PTS233 19mm 2.165 MOA
ThermoSight Pro PTS536 50mm 0.825 MOA
ThermoSight Pro PTS736 75mm 0.55 MOA
Fire a series of shots to check the boresight.
After completing the boresight adjustment procedure you can use
RIFLE PROFILE function of Setting menu to save the boresighted reticle
position map in the “Rifle Profile” tab. This can be done for the same
scope equipped to up to 3 different rifles (Profile 1, Profile 2, and
Profile 3).
3.5 USING USB-C CONNECTOR
Remove the connector protective cap. Connect USB-C cable.
To view video using the USB-C, connect the cable to a USB input of a
PC. Then it can be viewed like an external webcam.
To read/copy/delete files on the internal memory of the ThermoSight
Pro, operate it like any external mass storage device connected by an
USB cable.
To power the ThermoSight Pro from an external source plug the cable
into any standard USB power source.

4.7.1 TRAINING SUBMENU
VISUAL ELEMENTS
RED line - threshold level (value at the right is the digital
representation of the threshold level).
• This line is moved UP and DOWN when corresponding ▲or ▼
buttons are pressed.
• Changed value is stored immediately as new threshold level for
current rifle profile.
• Range of the level is +/-100.
YELLOW rectangle - this is the chart area.
WHITE grid lines - +50 and -50 markers for measurement and
threshold level.
CYAN, BLUE, LIGHT BLUE vertical bars - min/max representation of
the calculated differential value from acceleration sensor.
• Positive means weapon moving forward (away from the user).
• Negative means weapon moving backward (closer to the user).
• Various color represent the size of the bar - smaller, larger or largest.
• The bars might be offset to the zero line - this is so because the bar
represents the extreme positive and extreme negative accelerations
during period of 1000ms:
- the bottom end of the bar represents the extreme minimum of the
measured acceleration (e.g. -30);
- the top end of the bar represents the extreme maximum of the
measured acceleration (e.g. +25).

Trigger UP/DOW N
Exit CENTE R
HOW TO SET THE THRESHOLD
• Start TRAINING mode.
• Perform one or more shots and observe the bars that represent
measured acceleration.
• Decide if negative or positive part of the bar (above or below the
zero line) is bigger.
• Set the threshold level. Move the red line by pressing ▲/▼
buttons. Holding down ▲/▼buttons will cause accelerated
movement of the line in 10 pixel increments.
• Press the center button to exit TRAINING mode.
NOTES:
• If you want to use the positive acceleration values as triggers you
should move the RED line above the zero (positive value), close to the
upper end of the bar.
Be sure to set the threshold a slightly below the bar top end - this will
provide margin to correctly detect shots with some variation in the
acceleration.
• If you want to use the negative acceleration, adjust the threshold
to be negative (below the zero line).
Be sure to set the threshold a slightly above the bar bottom end - this
will provide margin to correctly detect shots with some variation in the
acceleration.
• The margin from top/bottom end of the bars could be estimated
by observing variations of multiple shots - use the bar with weakest
acceleration to select the threshold level (again with some margin of
2-5 units) - e.g. if the weakest of multiple shots is read as 30 then set
the threshold to 25-27 to be sure that all shots will be recorded.

SECTION 6. MAINTENANCE
6.1 BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Refer to Part 2.2 for battery installation procedure.
6.2 CLEANING THE THERMOSIGHT PRO
Wipe the housing with a damp cloth as needed.
CAUTION: Do not use abrasives or solvents to clean the housing, lens,
or display window. Do not use ammonia-based cleaning products to
clean the lens. Doing so may damage the anti-reflective coating of the
lens.
The ThermoSight Pro thermal camera lens is designed for the harsh
outdoor environment and has a coating for durability and anti-
reflection, but it may require cleaning occasionally. Avoid scratching
the lens and/or leaving fingerprints on the optics. The camera optics
can be damaged by improper cleaning. Clean the lens according to
the instructions below when image quality degradation is noticed or
excessive dirt or other contaminant is on the lens.
Do not use abrasive materials, such as paper or scrub brushes as this
will possibly damage the lens by scratching it. Only wipe the lens clean
when there is visible contamination on the surface.
PREFERRED METHOD FOR CLEANING THE LENS
Materials:
• Optical-grade cloth
• Pure water (de-ionized or other)
• Isopropyl alcohol (IPA)
Saturate a piece of the lens tissue with the water and drape it over
the lens. Let the surface tension of the water pull the tissue onto the
lens surface and then drag the tissue across the lens surface. Repeat
several times with different pieces of tissue.
Repeat the same step using IPA instead of water. Drag the final piece
of tissue over the lens several times to prevent pooling, which could
leave a residue behind.
