USING THE BATTERY PACK

Accolade 2 LRF thermal imaging binoculars are supplied with a rechargeable Li-Ion Battery Pack IPS7 which allows operation for up to 9 hours. Please remember to charge the Battery Pack before first use.

Charging:

• Lift the lever (C) of the charging base.
• Remove the protective cover from the Battery Pack.
• Install the Battery Pack into the charging base as shown in Pic.2; click the lever (C).
• Upon installation, a green LED indicator (D) on the charging base 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%;
• If the indicator lights green continuously, the battery is fully charged.
  You can remove the battery from the charger by lifting the lever (10)
  If the indicator of the charger lights red continuously upon battery installation, probably the battery’s charge level is lower than acceptable (the battery has been long in deep discharge).
  Keep the battery in the charger for a long time (up to several hours), remove and re-insert it. If the indicator starts blinking green, the battery is good; if it keeps lighting red it’s defective.
  Do not use the battery!
• Connect the Micro-USB plug of the USB cable to the port (E) of the charger.
• Connect the Micro-USB plug to the charger.
• Insert the plug of the charger to the 220 V socket.

Installing the Battery Pack:

• Lift the lever (10).
• Install the battery (9) all the way into the dedicated slot on the device housing so that element F appears from below (Pic.3).
• Fix the battery by clicking the lever.

Safety measures:

• Only use the charger supplied with your binoculars.
• When keeping the battery for a long period, the battery should not be fully charged or fully discharged.
• Do not charge the battery immediately after bringing the battery from cold environment to a warm one. Wait for 30 – 40 minutes for the battery to get warm.
• Charge the Battery Pack at a temperature from 0 °C to +45 °C. Otherwise batter’s life will decrease significantly.
• Do not leave a battery unattended while charging.
• Never use a modified or damaged charger.
• Do not leave the Battery Pack with a charger connected to the mains longer than 24 hours after full charge.
• Do not expose the battery pack to high temperature or to a naked flame.
• Do not submerge the battery in water.
• Do not connect external device with a current consumption that exceeds permitted levels.
• The Battery Pack is short circuit protected. However, any situation that may cause short-circuiting should be avoided.
• Do not dismantle or deform the Battery Pack.
• Do not drop or hit the battery.
• When using the battery at negative temperatures, battery’s capacity decreases, this is normal and is not a defect.
• Do not use the battery at the temperatures above those shown in the table – this may decrease battery’s life.
• Keep the battery out of the reach of children.

EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY

• The device can be powered with an external power supply such as Power Bank (5 V).

BUILT-IN LASER RANGEFINDER

The binoculars are equipped with a built-in rangefinder (17), allowing you to measure distance to objects up to 1000m away.

How the rangefinder works:

• Turn on the device, set up image according to section “Operation”, press the UP (2) or LRF (21) button on remote control – rangefinding reticle appears; in the top right corner of the display dashes of distance values with unit of measurement appear, i.e. the rangefinder enters the stand-by mode.
• If PiP mode is activated, the aiming reticle disappers upon activation of the rangefinder and the PiP window remains active.
• Point the rangefinding reticle at an object and press the “UP” button.
• In the top right corner of the display you will see distance in metres (or yards – depending on settings).

Note: if the rangefinder is idle longer than for 4 seconds, it turns off automatically.

Operation in SCAN mode:

• To measure distance in scanning mode, hold down the UP (2) or LRF (21) button on remote control for longer then two seconds.
• Measurement readings will be changing in real time as you point the binoculars at different objects. Message SCAN appears in the top right corner.
• To exit SCAN mode, press UP or LRF (RC) button again.
• If measurement fails, dashes will appear on the display.
• In 4 seconds of inactivity (no measurement is taken) the rangefinder turns off, the rangefinding reticle with readings disappears from the display.

Notes:

• To select a rangefinding reticle, please go to the respective menu option.
• To select a unit of measurement (metres or yards) go to “Settings“.

Peculiarities of operation

• Accuracy of measurement and maximum range depend on the reflection ratio of the target surface, the angle at which the emitting beam falls on the target surface and environmental conditions. Reflectivity is also affected by surface texture, colour, size and shape  of the target. A shiny or brightly coloured surface is normally more  reflective than a dark surface.
• Measuring range to a small sized target is more difficult than to a large sized target.
• Accuracy of measurement can also be affected by light conditions, fog, haze, rain, snow etc. Ranging performance can degrade in bright conditions orwhen ranging towards the sun.
