Setup

1. Battery Installation: The device uses a rechargeable battery. Locate the battery compartment, typically at the base or side of the unit. Insert the battery according to the polarity indicators. Ensure the compartment cover is securely closed.

2. Lens Cap Removal: Remove the protective lens cap from the objective lens before use.

3. Initial Power On: Press and hold the power button (usually marked with a power symbol) for a few seconds until the display illuminates. The device may perform a brief self-check upon startup.

4. Eyepiece Adjustment: Adjust the eyepiece diopter to achieve a clear focus for your vision. Rotate the eyepiece until the on-screen display elements are sharp.

Operating Instructions

Power On/Off

• To power on, press and hold the power button until the screen activates.
• To power off, press and hold the power button until the device shuts down.

Focus Adjustment

Rotate the focusing wheel located on the device to bring objects into sharp focus. This is crucial for clear thermal imaging at various distances.

Digital Zoom

The device supports 2x and 4x digital zoom. Use the designated zoom buttons (often marked with '+' and '-' or a magnifying glass icon) to magnify the thermal image. Note that digital zoom may reduce image clarity compared to optical magnification.

Color Palettes

The monocular offers 8 different color palettes to visualize thermal data. These palettes enhance contrast and highlight temperature differences, making it easier to identify targets in various environments. Common palettes include "White Hot," "Black Hot," "Red Hot," "Rainbow," and "Ultramarine." Refer to the device's on-screen menu for specific palette selection.

Detection Range

The GOYOJO CS-6 has a limit detection range of up to 2000 meters, making it suitable for observing targets at medium to long distances. The actual detection and recognition distances can vary based on environmental conditions and target size.

Video and Image Capture

The device is capable of capturing both still images and video recordings. Use the dedicated buttons (often marked with camera or video icons) to initiate and stop recording or capture a photo. Captured media can typically be reviewed on the device or transferred to a computer.

Maintenance

• Cleaning Lenses: Use a soft, lint-free cloth specifically designed for optics to clean the lenses. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals. Gently wipe the lens surface to remove dust or smudges.

• General Cleaning: Wipe the body of the monocular with a damp cloth. Do not submerge the device in water, despite its IP66 waterproof rating, unless specifically designed for such use. The IP66 rating indicates protection against powerful water jets, not continuous submersion.

• Storage: Store the monocular in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Use the provided protective case or bag to prevent scratches and damage.

• Battery Care: If storing for extended periods, remove the battery. Recharge the battery periodically to maintain its lifespan.
