the day in adverse weather conditions (fog, smog, rain) to see through

obstacles hindering detection of targets (branches, tallgrass, thick

bushes etc.). The binoculars do not require an external source of light

and are not affected by bright light exposure.

ACCOLADE thermal imaging binoculars based on an IR sensor

(uncooled microbolometer) are represented by a number of models

featuring various magnification and lens diameter. The binoculars

feature comfortable observation with both eyes.

USING THE BATTERY PACK

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.

- once if the battery charge ranges from 0% to 50%;

If the indicator lights green continuously, the battery is fully charged.

You can remove the battery from the charger by lifting the lever (10).

- twice if the battery charge ranges from 51% to 75%;

- three times if the battery charge ranges from 75% to 100%;

Connect the Micro-USB plug to the charger.

Upon installation, a green LED indicator (D) on the charging base

will start to glow and begin flashing:

Lift the lever (C) of the charging base.

Remove the protective cover from the Battery Pack.

Insert the plug of the charger to the 220V socket.

Install the Battery Pack into the charging base as shown in Pic.2;

click the lever (C).

At low operating temperatures, objects under observation

(background) normally cool down to roughly identical

temperatures, which leads to lower temperature contrast, and to

image quality (precision) degradation. This is normal for thermal

imaging device.

Because of variations in thermal conductivity, objects

(surrounding environment, background) under observation

become warm more quickly at above-zero temperatures, which

allows higher temperature contrast and, thus, the quality of the

image produced by a thermal imager will be better.

INSTALLATION:

N'exposez pas le bloc batterie à des températures élevées ou à

une flamme nue. N'immergez pas dans l'eau la batterie.

Ne laissez pas le bloc batterie avec un chargeur connecté à

l'alimentation secteur pendant plus de 24 heures après une

recharge complète.

Chargez le bloc batterie à une température entre 0 °C et +45 °C.

Ne laissez pas une batterie sans surveillance pendant sa charge.

N'utilisez jamais un chargeur modifié ou endommagé.

Conservez la batterie hors de portée des enfants.

Utilisez uniquement le chargeur fourni avec le bloc batterie.

L'utilisation d'un autre chargeur peut endommager définitivement le

bloc batterie ou le chargeur et peut provoquer un incendie.

Sinon la durée de vie de la batterie diminuera considérablement.

Ne laissez pas tomber ou ne heurtez pas la batterie.

Ne chargez pas immédiatement la batterie après l'avoir

amenée depuis un environnement froid vers un

environnement chaud. Attendez 30-40 minutes pour que la

batterie se réchauffe.

Lorsque la batterie est stockée pendant une longue période,

elle ne doit pas être complètement chargée ou complètement

déchargée.

Ne démontez pas et ne déformez pas le bloc batterie.

Le bloc batterie est protégé contre les court-circuits. Cependant, il

faut éviter les situations pouvant provoquer un court-circuit.

N'utilisez pas la batterie à des températures supérieures à celles

indiquées dans le tableau – ceci pourrait diminuer la durée de vie

de la batterie.

Lorsque vous utilisez la batterie avec des températures négatives,

sa capacité diminue, ceci est normal et n'est pas un défaut.

Ne connectez pas un appareil extérieur soutirant une intensité

supérieure à l'intensité maximum autorisée.

MESURES DE SÉCURITÉ:

ALIMENTATION EXTÉRIEURE

L'appareil peut être alimenté par une alimentation extérieure comme un

chargeur Power Bank (5 V).

Raccordez l'alimentation extérieure au port USB (15) de l'appareil

(Fig.1).

34

Fig. 3

109

Si le voyant s'allume en vert en fixe, la batterie est chargée au

maximum. Vous pouvez séparer la batterie du chargeur en soulevant

le levier (C).

Raccordez la prise micro-USB au chargeur.

Raccordez la prise micro-USB du câble USB au port (E) du chargeur.

Si l'indicateur commence à clignoter en vert, la batterie est bonne;

si elle continue à s'allumer en rouge, elle est défectueuse.

N'utilisez pas la batterie!

Au moment de l'installation, un voyant LED vert (D) sur le chargeur

s'allumera et commencera à clignoter:

- une fois si la charge de la batterie est comprise entre 0 % et 50 %.

- trois fois si la charge de la batterie est comprise entre 75 % et 100 %.

Si l'indicateur du chargeur s'allume en rouge en continu lors de

l'installation de la batterie, le niveau de charge de la batterie est

probablement inférieur à l'acceptable (la batterie a été longtemps

en décharge profonde). Conservez la batterie dans le chargeur

pendant une longue période (jusqu'à plusieurs heures), enlevez et

réinsérez-la.

Insérez la fiche mâle du chargeur dans la prise femelle 220 V.

- deux fois si la charge de la batterie est comprise entre 51 % et 75 %.
