2. Introduction
Tube series infrared scope is designed for outdoor and hunting. Base on the principle of Thermal
Imaging, without external light source, ignoring strong light exposure, users can observe
objectives (even hiding behind barriers: branches of tree, grass, bush) via Tube scopes, no matter
it’s day or night, bad weather such as rain, snow, fog, haze and etc.
Tube series scopes have multiple power supply plans, ensuring ultra-long operation duration, can
be used for hunting, observation, locating in low visibility condition. Tube has 30mm standard
pipe diameter, sures universal Clip-On interfaces.

pack and a replaceable 18500 battery, the
whole system supports standard working
time: 15 hours. Please ensure the battery is
fully charged before first time using.
Charging Built-in Battery Pack
⚫ Rotate USB lid anti-clockwise to
open it;
⚫ Plugin the Type-C cable to Type-C
port on Tube;
⚫ Connect power adapter with
another port of Type-C cable. Plugin the power adapter to socket with 100-240V for
charging;

Meanwhile the LED on device turns into red; when LED changed to green, indicates
battery fully charged.
⚫ While the icon turns into , means low battery, please charge on time, to avoid
battery over discharge, resulting in device aging.
Tips: Only the built-in battery pack been charged while charging via USB port.
Installing 18500 battery
⚫ Rotate Extend battery lid (11)
Rotate
Anti-clock wise:
Move Right/Up

anti-clockwise to open it;
⚫ Following the sign inside battery compartment, install 18500 battery (12) as anode
electrode inward and negative electrode outward;
⚫ Put on the battery compartment lid and screw down it clockwise.
Safety Measures
⚫ Please charge with adapter as 5V2A in the package. Using other types of adapters may
lead to irreversible damage to battery or adapter;
⚫ If the device will be idle for a long time, it should be partial charged, avoid fully charged
or completely discharge.
⚫ When moved the device from cold environment to warm environment, wait for 30-40
minutes to warm up before charging the device, avoid charging instantly.
⚫ Avoid to use the charger which been modified or damaged;
⚫ Charge the scope in temperature range: 0℃~+40℃, otherwise the battery life will be
reduced significantly.
⚫ Please don’t leave the device unattended while charging;
⚫ After fully charged, avoid connecting battery and adapter for over 24 hours;
⚫ That is not recommended to connect with third device that has more power
consumption than maximum.
⚫ The device has short-circuited protection system, still, avoid circumstances of
short-circuit.
⚫ Recommend operation temperature range is -20℃~+50℃, avoid operating the device
out of this temperature range, otherwise may reduce the battery life.

⚫ Connect external power supply with USB port on Tube (9);
⚫ The device will switch to external power supply, meanwhile charge build-in battery pack;
⚫ When turned Off external power supply, the device will switch to replaceable 18500
battery. If there is no replaceable 18500 battery or battery low in power, the device will
switch to build-in battery pack as power supply, instead of switch off the device.

8.Installation
Fixed installation
Warning! Don’t aim the lens of infrared thermal imager to any high intensity radiation
source, such as laser emitter or solar. Any damage that caused by not following
instructions are not covered by warranty.
