Safety
Before using your OMAX product, please read the following safety precauons carefully to avoid causing damage to the
device or injury to yourself or others.
Use only 3.7V 16340 lithium-ion baeries. Use of other baeries may cause damage to the device or injury to yourself or
others.
Turn o power if the instrument exhibits unusual or dangerous behavior such as eming smoke or unusual odors. These
can be indicaons of electrical problems, in which case the instrument should be disconnected from any power source if
safe to do so. Other indicators can be a loud buzzing sound or crackling. Contact OMAX to report such behavior.
Do not use around ammable liquids or gases. Electric instruments can ignite ammable substances which could result in
an explosion or re.
Avoid use in wet environments. This device uses some weather-sealing measures, but does not comply with IP67 standards
for exposure to water. Electrical components of the instrument can discharge when exposed to water, potenally resulng
in damage to the instrument, or injury to yourself or others.
Do not dismantle. Dismantling will void the warranty and can result in damage to the instrument, and potenal exposure
to dangerous materials or electric current.
Use the IR lter cap in bright condions including daylight. The device’s image sensor is very sensive to light. Disengage
the IR lter cap in dark condions to allow the use of infrared light.
Noces
OMAX reserves the right to change specicaons of the product at any me without noce. Connuous eorts are made
to improve performance and reliability, which can result in changes to design and compability. Please contact OMAX for
any concerns regarding such changes.

1. Preparaon
1.1 Baery Installaon
Important: only use 3.7V 16340 rechargeable lithium-ion baeries.
Do not remove the baery compartment cover while the device is powered on. Ensure the device is powered o before
proceeding.
Unscrew the baery compartment cover. Insert the negave (-) end of the 16340 baery into the compartment. The
posive (+) end of the baery should be facing outward. Screw in the baery compartment cover unl it is secure.
1.2 The I/O Panel
The I/O (Input/Output) panel consists of a Micro-USB port, a reset buon, and a MicroSD card slot. The panel is located
on the lower le side of the device near the infrared lamp. To access it, pull the tab on the right side of the protecve
co ve r.
1.3 Charging the Baery
To charge the baery, use the supplied USB cable with a USB power source or charging adapter. Aach the cable’s Micro-
USB plug into the I/O panel’s Micro-USB port. Insert the cable’s Type-A connector into the AC adapter’s USB port. Plug
the AC adapter into an AC outlet to begin charging. The status LED on the device’s control panel will light up red while
charging. When the LED turns green, the baery is fully charged, and the USB cable can be disconnected.
1.4 Recording Media
This device uses MicroSD media (also called TransFlash or TF) for recording photos and videos. MicroSD cards up to 32GB
may be used to record and store les. In order to ensure proper performance, only cards with speed class 10 should be
used.

To insert a MicroSD card, align the card with the card slot so that the card’s smaller end with the metal contacts are facing
the slot, and the printed surface of the card is facing up. Gently push the card into the slot. Be careful not to force the
card, as this could result in damaging the card and jamming the slot. When the card is fully inserted, there should be a
click.
To remove the MicroSD card, push the card inward to acvate the release. The card will parally eject so it can be pulled
out. Do not remove the card while the device is recording, as this will result in loss of data.
2. Operaon
2.1 The Control Panel
The control panel is located on the top of the device. It consists of the Power/Recording Mode buon, the Capture/Menu
buon, the status LED, the Zoom In and Zoom Out buons, and the Exposure Mode buon.
2.2 Powering On/O
To power on the device, press and hold the Power buon for approximately 2 seconds while looking into the eyepiece.
Once the internal screen displays an image, you can release the buon. The status LED on the control panel will light up
blue.
To power o the device, press and hold the Power buon for approximately 2 seconds while looking into the eyepiece.
Once the internal screen begins to turn o, you can release the buon.
2.3 Focusing
While looking through the eyepiece you can adjust the focus by rotang the focus ring. Rotang the ring clockwise will
focus closer while rotang the ring counter-clockwise will focus farther.
2.4 Digital Zoom
This device has a digital zoom funcon which can increase the magnicaon by up to 8X. To use, press the “+” zoom
buon to increase the zoom level, or the “-“ zoom buon to decrease the zoom level.
2.5 Exposure Modes
This device has three exposure modes including a standard exposure mode and two night vision modes. When using
the standard mode, the IR lter cap should be closed to limit the amount of natural infrared light reaching the camera’s
sensor. To switch to night vision mode, press the Exposure Mode buon once. The live image will change from color to
monochrome, and the camera sensor’s sensivity will be increased. This mode can be used in dim lighng to maximize
brightness. Press the Exposure Mode buon once more to enable the infrared lamp. When using the infrared lamp, the
lens’ IR lter cap must be opened to allow the infrared light to enter. This mode can be used in complete darkness since
the infrared lamp generates light which can be detected by the camera sensor.
2.6 Changing Recording Modes
When the device is powered on, the power buon can be used to switch recording modes. Photo mode will be set by
default. Press the power buon once to switch to Video mode. Press the buon once more to switch to Playback mode.
One more press will return to Photo mode. Each mode can be idened by the icon displayed in the top le corner of the
screen.
