About the device
Description
Telos thermal imaging monoculars are designed for use both at night-time
and during the day and provide exceptional image quality even in adverse
weather conditions (fog, smog, rain) and beyond obstacles like branches, tall
grass, dense foliage, etc. known to hinder target detection.
Unlike night-vision devices based on electron-optical converters, thermal
imaging devices do not need an external light source and are resistant to
bright light.
Telos thermal imagers are designed for various applications including
hunting, observation, security, terrain orientation, search and rescue
operations, etc.

Precautions
• It is not recommended to charge the battery with the USB cable and wireless
charger at the same time. This will not increase the charge rate and may
damage the battery.
• Use the USB Type-C cable and power adapter supplied with the device (or
purchased separately) to charge the LPS 7i batteries.
• Follow the safety precautions described in its Manual when using the wireless
charger.
• Do not place any foreign objects between the battery and wireless charger
platform.

• Do not charge the battery immediately after brining 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 power adapter and wireless charger if they have been modified
or damaged.
• Do not leave the battery plugged in 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 LPS
7i 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.
Recommendations for Battery Use
• The battery should be partially charged (50 to 80 %) for long-term storage.
• Charge at an ambient temperature of 0°C to +35°C (32°F to 95°F) or the
lifespan of the battery will decrease significantly.
• Using the battery at sub 0°C (<32°F) ambient temperature decreases battery
capacity. This is normal and not a defect.
• Using the battery at temperatures outside the range of -25°C to +50°C (-13°F
to 122°F) may reduce battery life.
• The battery is short-circuit protected. Any situation that may cause short-
circuiting should be avoided.
Battery Charging
The Telos thermal imager comes with an LPS7i rechargeable Lithium-ion
battery. LPS7i batteries support USB Power Delivery fast charging technology
when using a standard charging set (USB Type-C cable, power adapter).
Before first use, make sure the battery is fully charged. LPS 7i batteries also
support wireless charging.
The icon in the status bar will flash when the battery is low. The battery
needs to be charged.

Option 1. USB Charging
1. Install the LPS7i battery in the battery compartment of the device.
2. Connect the USB cable (20) to the USB Type-C connector (16) 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 (17) will display the battery charge
status:

Option 2. Charging the battery via USB
1. Remove the protective cover (8).
2. Connect the plug of the USB Type-C cable (20) to the USB Type-C
connector (18) of the battery.
3. For fast charging, connect the second end of the USB Type-C cable (20) to
the Type-C connector of the power adapter (21) by removing the Type-A
adapter from the plug. When connected to a computer or a Type-A power
adapter, the battery will charge at normal speed.
4. Plug the power adapter (21) into a 100-240 V socket.
5. LED (19) will display battery charge level (see Table).

Option 3. Wireless Charging
1. Place the battery (6) with the sign side on the wireless charger* (22).
For more efficient wireless charging, align the lightning bolt icon on the battery
with the centre of the charger platform (22).
2. Turn on the wireless charger according to its instruction manual.
3. LED (19) will display battery charge level (see Table).
* Third party-purchasing. The LPS7i battery works with all QI standard
wireless chargers.
Battery Installation
1. Install the cover (7) on the LPS7i battery (6).

2. Insert the battery (6) into the battery compartment (5) until you hear a click.
The battery contacts must face the top of the device (see diagram).
3. To remove the battery (6), slide the switch (A) on the cover (7) to the
left .

External Power Supply
Power can be supplied from an external source such as a 5 V or 9 V power
bank.
1. Connect the external power source to the USB Type-C connector (16) on the
device.
2. The device will switch to draw power from the external source while the LPS7i
battery is gradually recharged.
3. A battery icon will appear on the display showing the percentage-charged
level.
4. An icon will be displayed when the device is powered by an external
power source and the LPS7i battery is not connected.
5. The device automatically switches to the LPS7i battery when the external
power supply is disconnected.
Attention! Charging LPS7i batteries from an external source at temperatures
below 0°C (<32°F) can reduce battery life. When using external power,
connect the power bank to the device only after it has been turned on and
working (warming) for at least several minutes.
Getting Started
Powering on and Image Settings
1. Open the lens cover (1).
2. Press the ON/OFF (9) button briefly to turn on the device.
3. Adjust the eyepiece diopter ring (13) until the symbols in the display are
sharp.

5. To change the magnification, turn the digital zoom adjustment ring (3).
6. Enter the main menu with a long press of the MENU (11) button and select
the desired calibration mode: manual (M), semi-automatic (SA) or
automatic (A).

7. Calibrate the image by briefly pressing the ON/OFF (9) button (if
the SA or M calibration mode has been selected). Close the lens cover when
calibrating manually.
8. Select the required amplification level (“Normal” , “High” ,
“Ultra” ) by briefly pressing the DOWN/MODE (12) button.
9. Activate the smoothing filter in the main menu to improve the image as
the amplification level increases.
10. Select one of the colour palettes in the main menu (for more details see
the Colour Modes section).
11. Activate the Quick Menu by briefly pressing the MENU (11) button to
adjust the brightness and contrast of the display (for more details see
the Quick Menu section).
12. Upon completion of use turn the device off by a long press of

Observation conditions: time of day, weather, type of observation objects
affect the image quality. Custom settings for brightness, display contrast as
well as the function of adjusting the microbolometer sensitivity amplification
level will help to achieve the desired quality in a particular situation.
Warning! Never point the lens at intensive energy sources such as laser
radiation emitting devices or the sun. It can damage electronic components in
the device. The warranty does not cover damage arising from failure to
comply with operating instructions.
