ATTENTION!
The proper usage of the device is important for safe exploitation!
Therefore read carefully the present manual!
If the device was left in storage for a longer period of time, before

Disassembling of the device is prohibited,except in authorized repair
centers.
The external optical surfaces should be clean at all times.Touching
the optical surfaces with bare hands is not recommended.
Sand and sea water can damage the optical coatings!
Do not point the device directly at the sun!
When left in storage for a longer period of time,batteries have to be
removed and stored in polyethylene bags to prevent contact with
metal.(It is recommended to recharge the batteries every two to
three months)
Image performance is dependent on scenery and atmosphere conditions.
Contrast in the same image may vary as a function of the time of day due
to the effect of the sun.For example,at sunset objects will have absorbed
different levels of heat resulting in greater temperature differences and
better contrast.

ATTENTION!
When carrying or transporting the device,put the protective lens cap!
Condensation can cause fogging of the optical surfaces! Condensation
occurs when the temperature or humidity changes as follows:
· When moving the device from cold to warm place or vice versa;
· In places with high humidity.
When equalizing the temperature of the device with the environmental,
the condensation disappears.Use the towel to remove moistu
Clean the lens surfaces with the Lens Cloth or with the napkin!
Before attaching to weapons,check the regional legal regulations in the area of
application.The attachment to a weapon is always the sole responsibility of the user.

Wild boar-height 1 m
Deer-height 1.5m
The lower fixed bar under the object automatically appear on display, press the Up/Down buttons
to move the upper horizontal bar until the object fits entirely between the two lines. The distance

Alignment
All Merlin 35 are adjusted on the laboratory test equipment with accuracy from 0.1 mrad to 0.3 mrad.
The final accuracy depends on customer rifle scope, parallax of used rifle scope and shooting distance.
Merlin 35 is preset on 350m .
Customer who would like to use device on the shorter distance could recognise deviation and eliminate it
by software correction.
The manufacturing process of the NightSeers ensures the shooting precision tolerance within 3 to 7 cm
at 100 m. To achieve better result accuracy, use Alignment Correction in main menu. (last icon)
All NightSeers are preset in position X:0, Y:0.
Manual for electronic accuracy correction.
1) Aiming your daytime scope to the middle of target and shoot. This is test process of control good daytime
scope accuracy.
2) Put Merlin 35 on the rifle scope using adapter. Aim to the thermal target and shoot again.
3) Measure horizontal distance (x) and vertical distance (y) between shoot and aiming position from step 2).
4) Long press up button to enter main menu, you will see Alignment Correction as the last icon of the menu.
Short press up button to enter this sub-menu.
When the point of impact with Merlin35 is on the Right side of previous point of impact
(previous aiming position), change value X (X- => pressing button Down), decrease X value, and vice versa.
When the point of impact with Merlin35 is on the Up side of previous point of impact
(previous aiming position), change value Y (Y- => pressing button Down), decrease Y value, and vice versa.
While using the Alignment Correction is shown value of axis X and Y, one step for camera
Merlin35 means 1,66 MOA = 4.8cm on 100m

Press Up/Down to change your thermal imager to clip on mode.All menu is displayed
in the central area of the image.The reason is the reduced field of view of the daysight
by higher magnifications.Reaching a low battery state the device gives a warning in the
top left corner of the central area.(M=Monocular C = Clip on.)
NOTE It is recommended to use up to 3x magnification of the primary optical unit in order to keep the menu
and all submenus visible in clip-on mode.
