6.3 IR Illuminator Usage

The integrated 850nm IR illuminator provides enhanced visibility in complete darkness, with a detective range of up to 350 meters.

• Access the IR settings through the main menu.
• Adjust the IR intensity level to suit your viewing conditions. Higher intensity provides more illumination but may reduce battery life.

6.4 Long Distance Rangefinder (LRF)

The 1200m LRF allows for precise distance measurement to your target.

• Activate the LRF function via the menu or dedicated button.
• Aim the reticle at your target and press the LRF button to get a distance reading.

6.5 Ballistic Calculator

The ballistic calculator helps achieve a perfect shot by accounting for various environmental factors and allowing for multiple profiles.

• Navigate to the Ballistic Calculator in the menu.
• Set up different profiles for various ammunition types or firearms.
• Input parameters such as range, angle to target, temperature, and humidity for accurate trajectory calculations.

Figure 6.4: The ballistic calculator ensures precise trajectory calculations for every shot.

6.6 Recoil Activated Video (RAV)

The RAV feature automatically records video when recoil is detected, ensuring you capture critical moments.

• Enable RAV in the system settings.
• When activated, the scope will continuously buffer video. Upon detecting recoil, it saves the footage before and after the shot to the SD card.

6.7 Visible Light Enhancement Algorithm (VLEA)

PARD's VLEA technology improves image clarity and overall details, making images crisper and sharper for enhanced object recognition.

• VLEA is typically an automatic feature that optimizes image quality. Refer to the menu for any manual adjustment options.

6.8 Picture-in-Picture (PIP)

The PIP function displays an enlarged image of the reticle area in a small window, allowing for precise aiming while maintaining situational awareness.

• Activate PIP mode through the menu. The enlarged view will appear in the top center of the screen.

7. Maintenance

7.1 Cleaning the Lenses

• Use a soft, lint-free cloth specifically designed for optics to clean the objective lens and eyepiece.
• For stubborn smudges, use a small amount of lens cleaning solution applied to the cloth, not directly to the lens.
• Avoid abrasive materials or excessive force, which can scratch the lens coatings.

7.2 Battery Care

• Remove the battery if the device will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.
• Recharge batteries regularly, even if not fully depleted, to maintain optimal performance.

7.3 Storage

• Store the scope in its protective velvet pouch or a suitable case when not in use.
