• The charging indicator light will illuminate.
• A full charge typically takes approximately 3 hours.

A fully charged battery provides approximately 5 hours of operation with the IR function on.

A memory card is required to save photos and videos. The device supports TF (microSD) cards (not included).

• Locate the TF card slot on the side of the monocular.
• Gently insert the TF card into the slot with the gold contacts facing down until it clicks into place.
• To remove, gently push the card in again until it springs out.

3. Attaching to a Tripod (Optional)

For stable viewing or hands-free operation, the monocular can be mounted on a tripod (not included).

• Locate the tripod mount thread on the bottom of the monocular.
• Screw the monocular onto a standard tripod mount until secure.

Operating Instructions

• To Power On: Press and hold the Power button for a few seconds until the screen illuminates.
• To Power Off: Press and hold the Power button again until the screen turns off.

4. Activating Infrared (IR) and Day/Night Modes

The 850nm infrared illuminator allows for clear vision in complete darkness. The device automatically switches between color (day) and black & white (night) modes.

• In low-light or dark conditions, the device will automatically activate IR and display a black and white image.
• To manually adjust IR intensity, press the IR+/UP button to increase the IR level (up to 7 levels) or the IR-/DOWN button to decrease it. Higher IR levels provide better visibility in darker conditions but consume more battery.
• In bright light conditions, the device will display a color image with IR off.
