APPLICATION
No longer do thermal binoculars need to be expensive and clunky. The Thermal BinoX is here to provide you with unprecedented capabilities at a fraction of
the cost. Well designed, ergonomic and sporting a professional 50 mm germanium
lens, the Thermal BinoX is a pleasure to behold.
Powered by the powerful Obsidian “TII” Core the Thermal BinoX comes in both
384x288 and 640x480 configurations to provide sharp and clear images. Like the
rest of the Smart HD series of optics, the Obsidian “TII” core utilizes a slew of sensors to seamlessly gather information about your environment. Record video and
capture photos directly to your microSD card or stream them to your mobile device
through the built-in Wi-Fi. The Thermal BinoX comes with more features than you will
know what to do with at first, but soon you won’t know how you lived without them.

PREPARING THE DEVICE
UNPACKING
The following steps must be accomplished prior to each mission where the device
is used:
1. Open packaging box, remove Thermal BinoX-THD and check the contents
2. Make sure that nothing is missing
3. Inspect the device for damage to optical surfaces, body, eyecups, operation
buttons, etc.
4. Ensure that all optical surfaces are clean and ready for use.
NOTE
If any accessories are missing or broken contact ATN’s Customer Service.
INSTALLATION OF BATTERIES
The Thermal BinoX-THD will operate on three CR123 type batteries.
NOTE
We highly recommend using lithium
CR123 batteries. They will provide much
longer battery life.
Install batteries as follows:
1. Remove the Battery Cover following the
arrow direction
2. Insert batteries as shown.
3. Close the Battery Cover.
NOTE
Make sure that the device is turned off
before changing sources of energy (batteries or USB in power supply mode).
MicroSD, USB AND HDMI PORTS
The device is equipped with microSD, Micro USB and Micro HDMI ports. You can
find them under the rubber cover near the battery block (we marked the cap with
appropriate icons).
To open the cover you should gently lift the
rubber cover and move it out of the way.
NOTE
Make sure that the device is turned off before
inserting the microSD card into the slot.
1. A new card should be formatted before
usage.
2. Insert microSD card as shown.
3. To lock the card in the slot push it in with a thin
object (a small coin, paper clip, toothpick, etc.).
6
4. Return the cover to its original position.
NOTE
There is only one correct direction to insert
the microSD Card.
Do not force the card into the slot as it may
damage both the device and the card itself.
To remove the microSD Card from the slot,
push it in using the same thin object. When it
pops up a few millimeters, it can be pulled with
your fingers or tweezers.
NOTE
If you are going to record video we recommend using a Class 10 microSD card (10 MB/s)
or faster and have capacity from 4 to 64 GB.
FIRMWARE UPDATE
Before operating your device please update
the firmware to the latest version.
To receive a notification of new firmware
updates, please register your device on our website (you’ll receive an email letting
you know when new firmware becomes available).
To update the new firmware you will need a microSD Card and batteries that are
fully charged.
NOTE
In the event of a power failure during an update the device may crash corrupting its system files and will need to be sent back to the ATN factory for service.
It is important not to use additional sources of power during firmware update!
Update the new firmware as follows:
1. Download the ***.bin file and copy to
your microSD Card – root directory.
2. Insert the card into the device.
3. Turn ON the device.
4. In the “Firmware Update” dialog box
select “Yes” to start the update.
5. When the update counter reaches
“100%” the device will automatically restart.
6. Once the device is powered up it will enter self configuration mode.
7. After completion, it will automatically restart and will be ready for use.
8. Motion Sensing platform will be configured when first turned on.
NOTE
If the device does not restart within 30 seconds, remove and re-insert the
batteries and power-up the device.
Once the device has been updated you will need to either format the card or
delete the update file manually. In the event you do not, the system will ask you
if you wish to update the device every time you turn it on.

FOCUSING
DIOPTER ADJUSTMENT
By rotating the Diopter Adjustment Ring you will achieve optimal sharpness for
your vision. Look through the eyepiece while focusing on the interface on the screen.
Do not take the rubber cap off the objective lens.
NOTE

user with different vision than yourself will be using the device.
