INSTALLATION

1. Unboxing

Before using this device, please follow these steps:

1. Open the box and carefully remove the device.
2. Verify that all items listed in the package contents are included in the box.
3. Inspect the device for any signs of damage to the display, body, lens, buttons, and other components.
4. Ensure that the objective lens and eyepiece are clean and in proper working condition. Note: If you find any accessories missing or damaged, please contact our after-sales service for assistance.

2. Battery Installation and Startup

Please following the steps below for battery installation:

Note:

1. Use a single 18650 rechargeable lithium-ion battery with a voltage rating 3.7V;
2. Do not expose the battery pack to high temperature or to a naked flame.
3. Do not put the device into water when the battery cover is open;
4. Do not expose disassemble the device without uthorization;
5. Do not pierce the device with sharp objects;
6. Battery should be kept out of reach of children, and the positive and negative terminals of the battery should be installed correctly;
7. Whilst charging the battery do not leave the battery nattended.
8. When using the battery at cold(low) temperatures, the attery capacity decreases, this is normal and not a defect.
9. Do not use the battery if it has been damaged in any way.
10. After charging is complete do not leave the battery on charge connected to the network.

Please act responsibly and recycle or dispose of all used batteries according to the law.

3. Adapter Installation

To ensure optimal performance and user experience, we highly recommend using our original adapter provided in the product packaging as shown in Fig. 6. The adapter installation steps are as follows:

1. Remove the digital night vision device, adapter, gaskets and Allen wrench from the box.
2. Apply 1-2 layers of insulating tape to protect the scope’s objective lens.
3. Attach and rotate the clip-on eyepiece onto the digital night vision body.
4. Align the clip-on eyepiece with the adapter’s inner recess, then secure it to the night vision device using the pin with knurled thumbnut.
5. Choose the right gasket(s) for your scope’s objective bell diameter. Attach the assembled device to the scope’s objective bell, ensuring the display is centered through your scope’s eyepiece. Secure by lowering and tightening the adapter locking lever.

4. Focusing

Diopter Adjustment Ring
Diopter adjustment in a night vision device refers to the ability to adjust the focus of the device’s eyepiece to compensate for differences in users’ vision. It allows individuals with varying levels of eyesight to achieve a clear and focused view of the displayed content on the device’s screen.

1. After turning on the device, rotate the diopter adjustment ring until the texts or icons on the screen are clearly.
2. Please note that the image may not be clear after diopter adjustment. As long as the text on the screen is clear and visible, it is sufficient.

Note: If the objective lens is not properly focused, the image may be unclear.

Objective Lens Adjustment Ring

1. Before adjusting the objective lens, it is important to complete the diopter focusing.
2. Then adjust the objective lens focus ring until a clear image of the target is achieved.

5. E-compass Calibration

Once the eyepiece is properly focused, proceed to calibrate the electronic compass using the “Figure 8” pattern method. Tilt and move the device in a Figure 8 motion until the compass is calibrated, as indicated in Fig. 7.

6. Zeroing

Reticle adjustment refers to aligning the reticle with the point of impact at a specific zeroing distance. This ensures that the aiming point coincides with the actual point of impact at that distance.

Interface Explanation

• The first item “RTZ” allows you to save the current setting profile. You can save up to five sets of data (A-E);
• The second item “X” represents the X axis of the cross line.
• The third item “Y” represents the Y axis of the cross line
• Style corresponds to the crosshair type (7 options available).
• Color corresponds to the color of the cross line red/white/yellow/green).
• Under the Save option, “Y” indicates to save the changes, and “N” indicates not to save them.

Zeroing Steps
Note: Ensure proper installation before zeroing the FD1/FD1-LRF. Please follow these steps to zero your device:

1. Set the target: Set the target at zeroing distance and ensure that the device provides a clear image of the target.
2. Enter the reticle adjustment (Zeroing page): From the home screen, press [Key 5] to access the menu. Then press [Key 2] to select the reticle adjustment option as shown in Fig. 9. Press [Key 3] to enter the sub-menu nterface.
