Battery Charging
The device is supplied with a rechargeable IPS7 Lithium-ion Battery Pack which allows the
attachment to be used for up to 8 hours. Charge the battery before first use.
Charging
Step 1. Install the battery into the charger
1. Raise the lever(4) of the charger.
2. Install the Battery Pack (5) into the charger.
3. Click the lever (4).
Step 2. ?heck 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 100%.

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
Image not found or type unknown Battery is full
Step 3. ?onnect the charger to the mains supply
1. Attach the microUSB plug of the USB cable (23) to the microUSB connector (22) on the
charger.
2. Connect the USB plug on the cable(23) to the power adapter (24).
3. Plug the power adapter(24) into a 100-240V (25) socket.
4. When the indicator is continuously green, the battery is fully charged. Disconnect the
charger from the mains.

Battery Installation
1. Lower the lever (4).
2. Remove the protective cover of the battery compartment (3).
3. Insert the battery(5) into the slot designed for it on the device body so that the element
(D) is pointing downwards.
4. Lock the battery in place by raising the lever (4).

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 XG50 due to the
battery´s heavy weight.

Recommendations for 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 °?...+50 °? (-
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.

External Power Supply
☐
Show device diagram
External power is supplied from an external source, such as a 5V Power Bank.
1. Attach the external power source to the USB connector(11) 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 adapter 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.

Installing Thermal Imaging
Module on the Optical Device
☐
Show device diagram

1. Remove the eyepiece cover (2).
2. Select the Ring Adapter (15) (sold separately) with the insert (14) of the desired diameter
depending on the outer diameter of the lens of your optical device (13) (see table). The
designation 42 mm / 50 mm / 56 mm in the name of the adapter means the lens diameter of
the optical device.
3. Screw together the Ring Adapter (15) and the thermal imaging module along the threads of
the mounting area(20) until it stops. Then untighten a little (no more than one turn) so that the
lever (19) is on the right side (see Figure).
4. Evenly tighten the screws(16) until the ball joint grips in the Ring Adapter (15).
5. Apply 2-3 strips of double-sided tape to the outer surface of the insert of your choice (14).
6. Push the insert(14) of your choice into the Ring Adapter(15) until it stops.
7. Move the lever (19) to the OPEN position.
8. Before installing the Ring Adapter (15) onto the optical device, it is recommended to
degrease the lens body of the optical device(13).
9. Mount the Ring Adapter (15) with the insert(14) onto the lens of the daylight optical device
(13) as far as it will go.
10. If the Ring Adaptor (15) with the insert (14) selected according to the table cannot be
mounted onto the lens (10), follow the steps below:
Loosen the locking screw (17) with a 2mm Allen key.
Untighten the screw(18) with a hex wrench (S = 4mm) until the Ring Adaptor with the

insert can be mounted onto the lens (13).
11. Move the lever(19) from its initial OPEN position to the CLOSE position.
12. Loosen the locking screw(17) with a 2mm Allen key, if it hasn’t been done before.
13. Tighten the screw (18) using a 4mm Allen key. The clamping force should be 1.5-2 Nm
(use a torque screwdriver) to ensure the lever is correctly tightened (19), while the Ring
Adapter with the thermal imaging module should not move relative to the body of the optical
device (13). If necessary, tighten or loosen the screw (18) to operate the lever(19) in the best
way possible.
14. Tighten the locking screw (17) as far as it will go.
15. Turn on the thermal imaging module by briefly pressing the ON/OFF (9)button.
16. Align the image centre on the Krypton XG50 display with the image centre of the daylight
optical device by carefully tilting the thermal imaging module.
17. Align the top and bottom display boundaries of the Krypton XG50 parallel to the horizontal
line of the daylight optical device’s reticle.
18. Having reached the best possible position of the thermal imaging module, tighten the two
screws (16) until stop. The clamping force should be 6.5-7.5 N·m (use a torque screwdriver to
check).
