NOTE

If any accessories are missing or broken contact ATN’s Customer Ser-

vice.

INSTALLATION OF BATTERIES

The Thor-HD will operate on four AA-type Lithium batteries.

NOTE

We highly recommend using lithium AA
batteries. They will provide much longer bat­tery life. Use only 1.5 V batteries.

Install batteries as follows:

1. Remove the battery cap by unscrewing it

counter clockwise.

2. Insert batteries as shown.

3. Return the battery cap into the housing
socket (screw clockwise until finger tight). Make
sure that the Red O-Ring is not visible to pre­vent shut off issues due to recoil, but also Do not over-tighten! You want to
ensure you can unscrew the cap next time you replace batteries.

NOTE

Make sure that the device is turned off before changing source 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 and can be found
under the cap near the battery block (marked

paperclip, toothpick, etc.).

5. Return the cap to the USB cap cover
(screw clockwise until finger tight).

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 scope and the card itself.

To remove the microSD Card from the
slot:

1. Push it in using the same thin object.

2. When it pops up a few millimeters, it

can be pulled with your fingers or tweezers.

NOTE

If you are going to record video, the microSD card should be a Class 10 (10

Mb/s) or faster and have capacity from 4 to 64 Gb.

ZEROING

NOTE

Before zeroing your scope, please make sure the correct lens type is
selected. You can check this by going to the System Settings and selecting
Settings. You will see the subcategory Device Type. Please make sure you
select the lens type of your scope.

This lets the system know which Scope you are actually using (example:
ThOR HD 19 mm or ThOR HD 50 mm).

To Zero in your scope
you will need to go to the
Profile/Zero section of the
System Settings.

To enter the System
Settings you should open
Shortcut Carousel with

ENTER button

and se-

lect the wrench icon with
RIGHT or LEFT buttons

.

Then, push the ENTER
button

to access the

menu.

Before you begin the
Zeroing process, you will
need to either create a new
Profile or utilize an existing
one. We recommend to
create a new one to under­stand the process better.

Under the Profiles/Zero
Category you will find Cur­rent, Other, Import from SD
card, and Export to SD card.
Select Other. Select Profile
1, Create New Profile, and/
or edit/make changes to it.
Once you selected a profile,
press the ENTER button to
load it. Also, your load pro­file will become your current
profile.

Profiles are primarily
used in order to utilize your
scope on various weap­ons. This way, when mov­ing your scope from one gun to the next, you can simply select the Profile that
you have already created for this gun. Another reason to use multiple profiles
is to be able to zero in the scope on the same gun, but at different ranges. For
example, one Profile may be called AR 50 yards and another AR 200 yards.
This allows you to create two separate profiles to fine tune your shooting solu­tions for both shorter and longer range shooting.

In order to change the profile name to what you want, download and access
the ATN Obsidian app. The app will allow you to connect your Phone/Tablet to
your scope.

22

NOTE

You will need to obtain
a target which thermal is
able to see. ATN sells Ther

­mal Targets, or you can
use any of the following
items: Cold or Hot water
bottle, hand warmers, or
foil based tape.

To zero your rifle with the
ATN device, you should
follow the next few steps.

In the System Settings,
Select the Profiles/Zero
Tab. The main Subcate­gories of the Profiles/Zero
are; Current, Other, Import
from SD card, and Export to
SD card. Select Current, by
pressing the ENTER button

. There you will see Zero
Reticle. We suggest you fill
out all the ballistic info to the
best of your ability before
proceeding to Zero. This
will save you time when
you want to use the Ballistic
Calculator at a later time.

Proceed to Zero the Ret-

icle. Press the ENTER
button

to select Zero
Reticle. You will see on
your screen a cross hair
reticle. While keeping the
gun as steady as possible,
fire a round. Use the key
pad to move the Red cross
hair to the point of impact,
while keeping the White
crosshair in the same place
you where aiming. Once
you have placed the Red
crosshair on the POI press
the ENTER button. A dia­logue box will appear with
options. Select Save & Exit.

NOTE

Although you may not need to take more then one shot to zero in your
scope, we do recommend that you repeat the process several times to
make sure that you truly are zeroed in. As you gain experience in zeroing
in your scope, it should take you no time before you are experienced at
zeroing out your scope.

23

NOTE

In order to fine tune your zero. Select Zero Reticle once more. Press the
ENTER button and select Zoom. Zoom in all the way and fire the weapon.
If your POI is not where you had aimed. Move the Red reticle to the POI
and Exit & Save. This will insure your POI is the same on optical and max­imum magnification.

BALLISTIC

CALCULATOR

The Ballistic Calculator in
your scope can seamlessly
adjust your point of impact.
The first step in utilizing this
function requires you to enter
all relevant information into
the Profile that is being used.

NOTE

If you do not know all or
part this info (example:
Initial Velocity) we rec­ommend that you con­tact the manufacturer of
the ammunition and/or
the weapon that you are
using. Generally this info
should be found on the
manufacturer’s website.

Once your profile has
been setup you are ready
to activate the Ballistic Cal­culator on your sight. Open
the Shortcut Carousel and
locate the following set of
Icons.

You will need to scroll
with UP and DOWN but-

tons

to find the Ballis­tic Calculator bullseye icon
and if it is off (indicated
by a diagonal line running
through the icon), you will
need to turn it on by hitting

ENTER button

while
having the icon selected.
You will see the diago­nal line disappear and a
Ballistic Calculator icon
will appear in the top right
corner of the screen.

Profiles which are not
in use, are situated in the
Other section. You can use
an existing profile or create
up to 6 new user profiles.

24

To edit a Profile you
should select it (highlighted
in red), press ENTER but-

ton

and choose the ac­tion you want to be done:
Load, Copy (Duplicate) or
Delete the selected profile.

ENVIRONMENT

There are a number of
Environmental elements
that may be entered to in­crease the precision of
your shots.

Wind Speed:

Generally speaking,
Wind strengths and direc­tion are by far the most
important of the group,
especially during medium

to heavy winds. We highly
recommend that if you
plan to shoot at ranges of
over 300 yards you take
wind readings and enter
the information into your
sight. Both wind speed and
wind direction are needed
if you plan to make accu­rate shots. You can enter
the information through
the Environment shortcut

or you can utilize your mo­bile device (running the Obsidian App with a WiFi connection to your scope),
whichever you find easier.

Relative Humidity:

Humidity and Temperature must also be entered through the Environment

short cut or by utilizing your mobile device.

Barometer Pressure, Altitude and Temperature:

Both Pressure, Altitude and Temperature will be set automatically using your

sight’s internal sensors.

Other Data Collected:

The angle of your scope as in relation to your target is also noted and the

Ballistic Calculator takes the information into its calculations.

RANGING IN ON YOUR TARGET
The number one priority to achieve accuracy in long range shooting is to

know the range to your target.

25

The Ballistic Calculator will make your adjustments for you but only after you

have entered the range to your target.

Your sight offers several ways to accomplish this task.

RANGEFINDER
Select the Flag Icon from

the Shortcut Carousel.

Pressing the ENTER but-

ton

will take you to the

Main

Screen of the Range-

finder feature.

To measure the distance,

follow the next steps:

1. put the arrow-mark on
the top of the target and
press the ENTER button

, wait for the scope to
take the readings (it will
take a number of readings
so try to keep your weapon
steady);

2. put the arrow-mark

under the target and press
the EN TER button

;

3. if satisfied with the

value, press the LEFT
button

to go back to
the Homescreen or repeat
steps 1 and 2, if necessary.

NOTE

During the measurement process, you can zoom in and out using stan-

dard buttons (UP and DOWN).

While using Ballistic Cal­culator your reticle can be
displaced from the center
point of the screen. Then
during Zoom In action it
will move to the center.

If the Target Height is
incorrect you can change it:

• press the RIGHT but-

ton

to enter the Menu;

26

• choose one of the presets or input the height manually;

• accept the height with ENTER button

and go back to the Main Screen.

DISTANCE ENTRY

If you are using other
means such as a Laser
Range Finder you may
enter the distance man­ually using the Distance
Entry shortcut.

Change distance value
using UP and DOWN

buttons

. To accept

the new distance press

ENTER button

.

HOW TO PERFORM A NUC

NUC’ing is required to improve image quality when the image is degraded

by various environmental factors.

There are multiple NUC tables to span the full operating temperature range,
and the camera automatically selects the optimum table based on its tem­perature.

Example: Change of temperature, continues viewing of a particular warm
object, movement from one environment to another all may cause image deg­radation.

To clean up the image you will need to press the NUC from the
Shortcut Carousel while closing the objective lens with a solid
object (lens cap, hand, book, etc.)

PIXEL CORRECTION PROCEDURE

Pixel Correction Procedure is intended to correct “neutral” pixels that are
visible in the FOV, but are not responding to the changing environment or
scenery. They may be white or black and remain static and or nonresponsive.

1. Enter the Carousel by pressing the ENTER button

.

2. Select System Settings.

3. Select Thermal Category.

4. Select Pixel Correction Subcategory.

5. Select Manual Correction.

6. You should see a targeting reticle, use the key pad to move the reticle

over the neutral pixel. If it is hard to target the neutral pixel, press the ENTER

27

button and select Zoom. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to zoom in
and out on to the neutral pixel in order to isolate it. Once you have isolated the

neutral pixel, press the ENTER button

to escape from the zoom function.

7. Once the reticle is positioned over the neutral pixel, press the ENTER

button

and select Save. This should correct the pixel.

NOTE

If after you have done the procedure outlined above and the neutral
pixel has not been corrected. Try the process on a pixel directly adjacent
to the neutral pixel in order to make a uniformed correction in the FOV.

SERVICING

CLEANING EYEPIECE

Over time debris or dust particles may find themselves on the micro display
in your eyepiece.

Please follow the following instructions to remove the debris:

1. Remove the Eyepiece — by first loosening the two Set Screws that hold
the Eyepiece in place (you will need a 1.5 mm hex key). Then unscrew the
eyepiece and remove it entirely. Once the set screws have been loosened the
eyepiece should be relatively easy to unscrew, do not use excessive force.

2. To clean the Micro Display — we recommend using a compressed air
canister. Just blow the air all around the micro display and then blow the air on
the display itself. The plastic screen covering the display will bend under the
air pressure and will allow burst of air inside of the micro display housing.

3. Reinstall Eyepiece — check if all debris have disappeared from your view.
If more debris remain Repeat Step 1 and Step 2. Do not forget to re-tighten the
Set Screws after completing your cleaning.
