Precautions
•Always use the IPS charger supplied with the device (or purchased
separately) to charge IPS batteries. Using an unsuitable charger can cause
irreparable damage to the battery and fire.
•Do not charge the battery immediately after bringing it from cold to warm. Wait
at least 30 minutes for the battery to warm up.
•Do not leave the battery unattended while charging.
•Do not use the charger if it has been modified or damaged.
•Do not leave the battery in a charger connected to the network after charging
is complete.
•Do not expose the battery to high temperatures and naked flame.
•Do not use the battery as a power source for devices that do not support IPS7
batteries.
•Do not disassemble or deform the battery.
•Do not drop or strike the battery.
•Do not submerge the battery.
•Keep the battery out of the reach of children.
Attention! Please do not use the IPS 14 Battery Pack with the Krypton 2
FXQ35/FXG50 due to the battery´s heavy weight.
Recommendations for Battery Use
•The battery should be partially charged for long-term storage –50 to 80 %.
•The battery should be charged at an ambient temperature of 0 °C…+35 °C
(+32 °F…+95° F). Otherwise, lifespan of the battery will decrease significantly.

•When using the battery at sub-zero temperatures, the battery capacity
decreases, this is normal and not a defect.
•Do not use the battery at temperatures outside the range of -25 °С...+50 °С (-
13 °F…+122 °F) – this may reduce battery’s life.
•The battery has a short-circuit protection. However, any situation that may
cause short-circuiting should be avoided.
Battery Charging
The device is supplied with a rechargeable IPS7 Lithium-ion Battery Pack
which allows the device to be used for up to 11 hours. Charge the battery
before first use.
The icon in the status bar will flash when the battery is low. The battery
needs to be charged.

Option 1
1. Install the IPS7 battery (4) in the battery compartment of the device.
2. Connect the USB Type-C cable (20) to the USB Type-C connector (10) of the
device.
3. Connect the other end of the USB cable (20) to the Power Adapter (21) by
removing the USB Type-A adapter.
4. Plug the Power Adapter (21) into a 100-240 V socket.
5. Wait until the battery is fully charged (indication in the status bar: ).
If the device is off, the LED indicator will display the battery charge
status:

Option 2
Charging
Step 1. Install the battery into the charger
1. Move the lever (3) to the open position .
2. Install the Battery Pack (4) into the charger.
3. Lock the battery (4) by moving the lever to the closed position .
Step 2. Сheck the current battery level

•Upon installation, a green LED indicator on the charger will start to glow and
begin flashing:
- once if the battery charge ranges from 0% to 50%.
- twice if the battery charge ranges from 51% to 75%.
- three times if the battery charge ranges from 76% to 99%.
•When the indicator is continuously green, the battery is fully charged.
Disconnect the charger from the mains and disconnect the battery from the
charger.
•If the battery charger indicator is constantly red when the battery is inserted,
the charge level is probably below the permissible level (the battery has been
in a discharged state for a long period of time). Leave the battery in the
charger for a long period of time (up to several hours), then remove and
reinsert.
•If the indicator begins to flash green, the battery is good.
•If it continues to show red, the battery is defective. Do not use this battery!
The LED indicator will display the battery charge status:
LED Indicator
Battery Charge Status
Battery is empty
Battery charge level is from 0% to 50%
Battery charge level is from 51% to 75%
Battery charge level is from 76% to 99%
Battery is full
Step 3. Сonnect the charger to the mains supply
1. Connect the plug of the USB Type-C cable (20) with the attached MicroUSB
adapter (22) to the USB socket (19) of the charger.
2. Connect the other end of the USB cable (20) to the power adapter (21).
3. Plug the power adapter (21) into a 100-240V socket.

4. When the indicator is continuously green, the battery is fully charged.
Disconnect the charger from the mains.
Battery Installation
1. Move the lever (3) to the open position .
2. Insert the battery (4) into the slot provided for it on the body of the device in
such a way that element D(protrusion on the battery case) is on the left.
3. Lock the battery (4) by moving the lever (3) to the closed position .
External Power Supply
External power is supplied from an external source, such as a 5V Power
Bank.
1. Attach the external power source to the USB Type-C connector (10) on the
device.
2. The device will switch to operation from the external power supply, while the
IPS7 battery will be gradually recharged.

3. A battery icon will appear on the display showing charge level as a
percentage.
4. If the device is operated from an external power source and the IPS7 battery
is not connected, an icon is displayed.
5. Once the external power source is disconnected, the device will begin
functioning on battery power.
Attention! Charging Power Bank IPS7 batteries at air temperatures below 0
°C can result in reduced battery life. When using external power, connect
Power Bank to the switched-on device, which have worked for several
minutes.

Getting Started
Installing the Monocular on to the Thermal Imaging
Module
The Pulsar 3x20 B monocular (23) allows you to transform the device into a
hand-held thermal imager with 3x magnification.
1. Align the protrusions on the monocular (23) on the side of its lens with the
grooves of the mount (18) of the thermal imaging module.
2. Turn the monocular clockwise to secure it on the thermal imaging module.
The recommended position of the clamping screw (24) is at the bottom (see
Figure).

3. Turn on the thermal imaging module by pressing the ON/OFF (8) button.
4. Adjust the eyepiece diopter ring (25) until the symbols in the display are
sharp.
5. Loosen the screw (24) with an Allen key S3.
6. Align the display to the center of the image in the monocular by tilting the
thermal imaging module in the required directions.
7. Lock the monocular in the chosen position by tightening the screw (24) until
it stops (clamping force –2.5 Nm/ 22.13 in-lbs).
8. To remove the monocular, turn it counterclockwise and disconnect from the
thermal imaging module.

Mounting the Adapter on the Device
Note: if you wish to use a third-party adapter or a Pulsar PSP Ring Adapter,
unscrew the ring (A) near the mount assembly (18).

Step 1. Pick up an insert
1. Select the Ring Adapter (13) (sold separately) with the insert (12) of the
required diameter depending on the outer diameter of the lens of your optical
device (11) (see Table).
2. The designation 42 mm / 50 mm / 56 mm in the name of the adapter means
the lens diameter of the optical device.
For installation of the PSP-30B adapter, see its operating manual.

Step 2. Install the insert into the adapter
1. Apply 2-3 strips of double-sided tape to the outer surface of the insert of your
choice (12).
2. Push the insert (12) of your choice into the Ring Adapter (13) until it stops.

Step 3. Mount the adapter on the optical device
1. Move the lever (17) to the OPEN position.
2. Before installing the Ring Adapter (13) onto the optical device, it is
recommended to degrease the lens body of the optical device (11).
3. Mount the Ring Adapter (13) with the insert (12) onto the lens of the daylight
optical device (11) as far as it will go.

Step 4. Adjust adapter lever
1. Move the lever (17) from its initial OPEN position to the
CLOSE position.
2. Loosen the locking screw (15) with a 2mm Allen key*.
3. Tighten the screw (16) with a 4mm Allen key*. The clamping force should be
1.5-2 Nm (13.3-17.7 in-lbs) (use a torque screwdriver) to ensure the
lever (17) is correctly tightened, while the Ring Adapter should not move
relative to the body of the optical device (11). If necessary, tighten or loosen
the screw (16) to operate the lever (17) in the best way possible.
4. Tighten the locking screw (15) as far as it will go.
