IR Illuminator (850nm / 940nm)

The NV008S features a 350M IR illuminator with selectable 850nm or 940nm wavelengths. The 850nm option provides a longer detection range with high sensitivity, while the 940nm option offers an invisible light source, ideal for evading detection by animals.

• To activate/adjust IR: Press the IR/Mode Switch/(-) Button to cycle through IR intensity levels (three levels available).
• To switch IR wavelength: This setting is typically found within the main menu under "IR Settings" or "System Settings".

Ballistic Calculator

The integrated ballistic calculator allows for precise shot placement by accounting for various environmental factors. You can set up multiple profiles for different ammunition types or scenarios.

• To use: Access the ballistic calculator function via the OK/Recording/LRF/Ballistic Calculation Button or through the main menu. Input parameters such as range, angle to target, temperature, and humidity. The scope will then provide an adjusted aiming point.

Recoil Activated Video Recording (RAV)

The RAV feature automatically records video when the scope senses recoil, ensuring you capture critical moments without manual intervention. This saves storage space by only recording relevant events.

• To enable/disable RAV: Navigate to the "Video Settings" or "Recording Settings" in the main menu and toggle the Recoil Activated Video option.
• Recordings are saved to an inserted SD card (not included).

One Shot Zero

This feature simplifies the zeroing process. After firing a shot, you can adjust the reticle to the point of impact with a single adjustment.

• To perform One Shot Zero: Fire a shot at a target. Access the "Zeroing" or "One Shot Zero" option in the menu. Adjust the reticle on the screen to align with the bullet's point of impact. Confirm the setting.
• It is recommended to perform this procedure when first setting up the scope on a new rifle.
