Initial Setup
Charging the Rie Scope
The rie scope is equipped with a USB Type C port which is located under the
rubber cap on the right side of the rie scope. Plug the included USB Type C
cable into a USB wall charger that has an output of 2 amps.
The rie scope can be charged while it is powered On or Off, but it charges
faster in when powered Off. When in Recording Mode, the rie scope will be
powered, but not charged.
Note: Using a wall charger with lower amperage will take longer to charge the
rie scope.
1. Recommended charger is 2.0A USB charger
2. Battery charging time (from 0 to 100%) is 2 hours using a 2.0A USB charger
with the rie scope powered Off
3. Battery run time is 6 hours on a single charge
MicroSD & USB C Ports
The rie scope is equipped with a microSD Card
and USB (type C) ports. You can nd them under
the rubber caps on the right side of the rie scope.
To open the rubber port cover, gently lift the rub-
ber cover and move it out of the way.
Note: Make sure that the device is powered Off
before inserting the formatted MicroSD Card into
its port.
1. Always format a new microSD card before using
2. Insert the MicroSD card as shown
3. Use a thin object (small coin, paper clip) to fully insert and lock the MicroSD
in place in the slot
4. Close the rubber the cover
Note: There is only one correct direction to insert the MicroSD card. Do not
force the microSD card into the slot as doing so may cause damage to both the
rie scope and the MicroSD card.

OWL-XTR
...MicroSD & USB C Ports
To remove the MicroSD Card from the port, push the card slightly in using the
same thin object that was used to insert it. When the MicroSD card pops up a
few millimeters, the card can be removed with nger tips or tweezers.
Note: The rie scope requires a high quality TF card for recording 4K HD video.
We advise to use a minimum specication of U3-V30 with 64GB or higher. The
rie scope supports cards up to 256GB capacity.

that the spot and the display screen are synchronized. Use the hexagon wrench
to gently tighten the two screws at the top of the mounting ring to secure the IR
Illuminator.
Note: To prevent wear and maintain water resistance, regularly lubricate
threads and O-rings.
