Description
Axion 2 LRFthermal imaging monoculars are designed for use both at night-
time and during the day and provide exceptional image quality even in
adverse weather conditions (fog, smog, rain) and beyond obstacles like
branches, tall grass, dense foliage, etc. known to hinder target detection.
Unlike night-vision devices based on electron-optical converters, thermal
imaging devices do not need an external light source and are resistant to
bright light.
Axion 2 LRF thermal imagers are designed for various applications
including hunting, observation, security, terrain orientation, search and
rescue operations, etc.
Axion 2 LRF thermal imagers are equipped with a built-in laser rangefinder
with a range of up to 1000 m and a measurement accuracy of ± 1 m.

Precautions
Always use the APS 5 charger (purchased separately) to charge APS 5
batteries. Using an unsuitable charger can cause irreparable damage to
the battery and fire.
Do not charge the battery immediately after exposure to a cold
environment. Let the battery warm for at least 30 minutes before
charging.
Do not leave the battery unattended while charging.
Do not use the charger if it has been modified or damaged.
Do not leave the battery in a plugged-in charger after charging is
complete.
Do not expose the battery to high temperatures or open flames.
Do not use the battery as a power source for devices that do not support
APS 5 batteries.
Do not disassemble or deform the battery or charger.
Do not drop or strike the battery or charger.
Protect the battery and charger from water and moisture.
Keep the battery out of the reach of children.
Recommendations for
Battery Use
The battery should be partially charged (50 to 80 %) for long-term
storage.
Charge at an ambient temperature of 0°C to +35°C (32°F to 95°F) or
the lifespan of the battery will decrease significantly.
Using the battery at sub 0°C (<32°F) ambient temperature decreases
battery capacity. This is normal and not a defect.
Using the battery at temperatures outside the range of -25°C to +40°C (-
13°F to 104°F) may reduce battery life.
The battery is short-circuit protected. Any situation that may cause
short-circuiting should be avoided.

When you turn on the rangefinder, the PiP window turns off.
Additional Information:
The accuracy and distance of the measurement depends on the
reflection coefficient of the object surface and weather conditions. The
reflection coefficient depends on the texture, colour, size and shape of
the object. Generally, lighter coloured objects and those with a shiny
surface will have a higher reflection coefficient.
Measurement accuracy can be influenced by the light conditions, fog,
haze, rain, snow, etc. The results may be less accurate when operating
in sunny weather or if the rangefinder is directed towards the sun.
It is easier and more reliable to measure the distance to large objects
than to small ones.

be free of salts, oxidation, or other debris.
All controls should be responsive.
Technical Maintenance
and Storage
Maintenance should be carried out at least twice a year and should include
the following steps:
Wipe the exterior surfaces of metal and plastic parts with a cotton cloth.
Do not use chemically active substances, solvents, etc. as these will
damage the paint.
Clean the electrical contacts of the rechargeable battery on the device
using a non-greasy organic solvent.
Check lenses of objective, eyepiece and rangefinder. If necessary,
remove dust and sand from the optics (it is preferable to use a non-
contact method). Cleaning of the exterior surfaces of the optics should
be done with cleaners designed especially for this purpose.

Possible cause
The external power supply is discharged.
Solution
Charge the external power supply (if necessary).
The image is blurry, with vertical stripes or
an uneven background
Possible cause
Calibration is required.
Solution
Perform image calibration according to the
of the manual.
Calibration Mode section
Black screen after calibration
Solution
If the image does not clear after calibration, you need to recalibrate.
Poor quality image. There is noise or ghost
images of previous scenes or objects
Possible cause
Manual calibration has been performed with the lens cover open.
Solution
Check theCalibration Mode, close the lens cover and calibrate the
device.
Image is too dark
Possible cause
Brightness or contrast level is too low.
Solution
Adjust the brightness or contrast level in the
Quick Menu.
Colour bars appear on the display or the
image disappears
Possible cause
The device was exposed to static charges during operation.
Solution
When the exposure to static charges is over, the device may either
reboot automatically or require to be switched off and on again.
The image of the object being observed is
missing
Possible cause
The object is behind glass, which obstructs thermal vision.
Solution
Remove the glass.
Poor image quality / Detection range reduced
Possible cause
These problems may occur during observation in adverse weather
conditions (snow, rain, fog, etc.).
The image quality during the device
operation at below zero temperatures is
worse than at positive temperatures
Possible cause
In warm climates, objects in the background of a thermal image heat up
differently because of thermal conductivity, generating a high
temperature contrast and a sharper thermal image.
In cold climates, objects in the background of a thermal image will cool
down to roughly the same temperature, which leads to a greatly
reduced temperature contrast and a degraded image quality. This is
normal for all thermal imaging devices.
Smartphone or tablet PC cannot be
connected to the device
Possible cause
Device password has been changed.
Solution
Delete the network and connect again using the password saved in the
device.
Possible cause
The device is in an area with too many Wi-Fi networks that may be
causing signal interference.
Solution
To ensure a stable Wi-Fi connection, relocate the device to an area with
fewer or no Wi-Fi networks.
Possible cause
The device has a 5 GHz network enabled, but the smartphone only
supports 2.4 GHz.
Solution
Switch the device's Wi-Fi bandwidth to 2.4 GHz.
