CHARGING
Please inspect your HAWK system before use to ensure that all
components listed on page 2 are present. Prior to first use, you should
fully charge the system.
Use only the included charging adapter to charge the system. The
included adapter is rated for power input of 100V - 240V and power
output of 12.6V DC at 800mA. The adapter is intelligent and will stop
charging the system once the battery is fully charged. Your Longshot
system should be turned off while charging. Please allow up to 4 hours
for the camera to fully charge.

BATTERY LEVEL INDICATOR
Between the charging port and power switch of the HAWK there are 4
LED's that indicate the battery's charge level. Each LED represents 25%
of the battery life. When the battery level becomes too low for the
system to operate, the LED's will flash and the system will turn off. You
may also notice a slight delay from the time you flip the power switch
until the time the lights come on, this is a result of the circuitry within
the battery level indicator board and is standard operation.

2. Turn the mounting knob clockwise to tighten the camera onto
your eyepiece. As you tighten the mount, it will self center the
camera on the eyepiece.
MOUNTING
Toproperly mount your camera to your spotting scope:
1. Slide the camera's universal mounting assembly over the eyepiece
of your scope until the camera makes contact with the rear of the
eyepiece. The camera has a spacer built in to account for most eye
relief setups; however, the camera may need to be setup a little
further off the eyepiece depending on your particular scope.

CONNECTION
Before connecting to your camera, it is recommended to download the
TARGETVISION application from your device's app store.
Connecting to your HAWK is as simple as connecting to a WiFinetwork.
Simply turn the camera on, go into the WiFi settings of your device,
locate and connect to the camera's network:
SSID: HAWKXX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
Password: longshot
Once you have established a connection, open the TARGETVISION
application on your device and use the live video feed to adjust the
position and focus of your spotting scope.
Please note:Once connected to the WiFi network
Apple devices may warn that there is "no internet connection"
available
Android devices may warn that "internet may not be available"
This is normal and nothing to be concerned about. There is not internet
available when you are connected to your camera's network. Please
proceed by opening the Targetvision app and you should see a camera
feed.

ADJUSTMENT
Eye Relief:Depending on your scope, you may need to adjust the
cameras mounting position to compensate for eye relief and get the
best picture possible. In some cases, if the camera is too close to the
eyepiece, the center of the image can appear washed out. The best
solution to this is to simply mount the camera further away from the
eyepiece.
Zoom:Most spotting scopes require you to rotate the eyepiece to adjust
the magnification of the scope. If this is the situation in your case, you
can rotate the eyepiece without having to re-mount the HAWK. Once
you are done adjusting the eyepiece, simply rotate the back half of the
system to upright the camera view. The camera will remain centered
on the eyepiece throughout the process.

DOWNLOAD
The TARGETVISION app is a free app that is only available for iOS and
Android devices. To download the app, please navigate to your device's
app store (the App Store for iOS and the Play Store for Android), search
for TARGETVISION (all one word), and choose install. Once the app has
been installed, you will need to connect to your HAWK's WiFi network to
see the video feed.
APP OVERVIEW
The TARGETVISION App allows you to see and interact with your target
like never before. The app has a clean and simple user interface that
maximizes the utility of your device's screen by showing the camera
feed across the entire screen and keeping buttons unobtrusive yet
accessible with our most popular features only a tap away. More
advanced features are stored within the options menu while settings,
support, and media files can be found within the main menu.
Due to the nature of the iOS and Android operating systems, our
software must be developed independently to work properly on each
platform, essentially doubling our software development time and cost.
Currently, we must implement significant user interface and/or feature
updates on one platform at a time. This fact has lead to a difference in
the user interface and feature set of our iOS and Android apps, which
you will see reflected further in the guide below.
Please keep in mind that software development is a very costly and
time consuming process. We appreciate your patience and feedback as
we continue to improve.
