14. ZEROING THE HYBRID COMPACT
HYBRID COMPACT features a “freeze” zeroing method.
To zero the HYBRID COMPACT:
- Set a suitable target at the desired zero distance.
- Confirm that the rifle is empty, safe, and pointed in a safe direction, with no ammunition near the weapon.
- Adjust the image and device settings following the steps in the Quick Start Guide on page 8, if you have not done so already.
- Select the zeroing profile type, A, B, or C. See Zeroing Menu > Zeroing Profile on page 38.
- Select the bullet type, 1, 2, or 3. See Zeroing Profile > Bullet Type on page 39.
- Based on the distance to the target you wish to zero, select a preset zero distance OR customize one of the preset zero distances to match. The HYBRID COMPACT supports custom zeroing distances of 1 to 999 meters or 1 to 999 yards. See Zeroing Menu > Zero Distance on page 39.
- Ensure a stable platform and natural shooting position is achieved behind the rifle.
- Load ammunition, aim, and take one good shot at the target.
- Make your rifle safe and observe the location of impact on the target.
- If the point of impact does not match the point of aim (the center of the reticle), adjust the X/Y position of the reticle. See Zeroing Menu > Reticle Zeroing on page 40.
- In the submenu for the selected zero distance, center the reticle on the aiming point and long press the Left [ and Right [ Buttons at the same time to freeze the image. The image freeze [ icon will appear below the X/Y coordinates.
- Short press the Left [ or Right [ Button to move between X and Y. Blue text indicates the cursor location.
- Short press the Menu [ Button to select the axis (X or Y) along which to move the reticle. A blue arrow appears to the left of the selected axis.
- Adjust the X/Y position of the reticle until the reticle matches the point of impact.
- Press the Right [ Button to move in the positive direction: X= Right and Y= Up.
- Press the Left [ Button to move in the negative direction: X= Left and Y= Down.
- Short press the Menu [ Button to save and deselect the axis.
- Repeat steps 12–15 above to move the cursor along the second axis.
- With neither axis selected, short press the Power [ Button to return to the previous menu.
- Take a confirmation shot—the point of impact should now match the point of aim. If not, adjust the X/Y position of the reticle again.
For detailed Zeroing instructions, please see Zeroing Menu > Reticle Zeroing on page 40.
15. NON-UNIFORMITY CORRECTION
A non-uniformity correction (NUC) allows a thermal imager's sensors to correct its pixels and eliminate image defects caused by pixel drift. A NUC will be performed automatically each time the HYBRID COMPACT is powered on.
The HYBRID COMPACT has three NUC modes, automatic [, manual [, and background [. The selected NUC mode appears on the left side of the status bar. For instructions on setting the NUC mode in the quick menu, see Using the Quick Menu on page 17.
Automatic Mode
In automatic mode (A), the HYBRID COMPACT will perform a NUC automatically according to the internal software algorithm. There is no need to close the objective lens cap (1) as the HYBRID COMPACT's internal shutter covers the sensor.
A countdown timer will appear in the status bar when 5 seconds remain until an automatic NUC is performed. Pressing the Power [ Button during the 5-second countdown will interrupt a pending NUC for approximately 2 minutes. The timer will appear only after the microbolometer temperature has stabilized—after approximately 10 minutes of continuous operation of the HYBRID COMPACT.
NOTE: A manual NUC (see next page) may be performed at any time while in Automatic (A) mode.
Manual Mode
In manual mode (M), the user independently determines the need to perform a NUC based on the quality of the observed image. It is not necessary to close the objective lens cap (1) during a manual NUC, as the internal shutter covers the sensor.
To perform a manual NUC while in manual mode (or automatic mode):
- From the home screen, short press the Power [ Button.
- A manual NUC is performed instantly.
Background Mode
In background mode (B), the user independently determines the need to perform a background NUC based on the quality of the observed image. A background NUC uses less power than an automatic or manual NUC because it does not use the internal shutter to cover the sensor; instead, the user must close the lens cap.
To perform a background NUC while in background mode:
- Close the objective lens cap (1).
- From the home screen, short press the Power [ Button.
- A prompt to close the lens cap appears on the screen and the background NUC will be performed.
NOTES:
- If the lens is not properly covered, a temporary “image burn” will remain in the image until the next non-uniformity correction. This “image burn” is temporary and is not a defect or sign of permanent damage.

19. INTEGRATED LASER RANGEFINDER
The HYBRID COMPACT is equipped with an integrated, precision laser rangefinder which allows the user to measure the distance to objects up to 1,200 yards away, with ±1-yard accuracy. The laser rangefinder has two rangefinding modes: continuous and single-measurement capture. Continuous rangefinding allows the user to adjust quickly to changing distances for better shot placement.
CAUTION: Do not stare directly into the laser. The rangefinder interface has the following features:
- Cursor: The red rangefinder cursor [ appears in the center of the screen.
- Mode: The selected rangefinding mode, SGL (single) CONT (continuous) or appears on the left side of the screen.
- Rangefinding Measurement: The target distance appears on the left side of the screen.
To use the laser rangefinder in continuous rangefinding mode:
- Long press the Rangefinder [ Button to turn on the laser rangefinder in continuous ranging mode.
- Locate the target.
- The distance to the target indicated by the cursor will be refreshed automatically by the rangefinder every second.
- Long press the Rangefinder [ Button to turn off the laser rangefinder.
To use the laser rangefinder in single rangefinding mode:
- Short press the Rangefinder [ Button to turn on the laser rangefinder in single ranging mode.
- Locate the target, and short press the Rangefinder [ Button to take a rangefinding measurement.
- Long press the Rangefinder [ Button to switch to continuous ranging mode.
- Long press the Rangefinder [ Button a second time to turn off the laser rangefinder.
ACCURACY NOTES:
- The measurement accuracy and maximum range depend on the reflection ratio on the target surface, the angle at which the laser beam falls on the target surface, and environmental conditions. Reflectivity depends on the surface texture, color, size, and shape of the object. Typically, a glossy, bright surface will have higher reflectivity than a darker surface.
- Ranging performance can degrade in bright conditions or when ranging towards the sun.
- The measurement accuracy can be affected by fog, smog, heavy rain, snow, and other weather conditions. It can also be affected by a low battery or a dirty or smudged objective lens.
- Measuring the range to a small target is more difficult than measuring the range to a large target.
20. BLUETOOTH REMOTE CONTROL
The HYBRID COMPACT comes with a wireless remote control, allowing access to the control buttons from your rifle stock or a tripod. Consult the instruction sheet in the pouch with the remote for setup and use instructions.
