DEVICE OPERATION

POWER SUPPLY

The Binox 6 Dual Multispectral Binocular is powered by two removable 18650 rechargeable batteries (included in the package).

You can also charge the internal battery via the USB Type-C port.

NOTE:
The binocular can operate with a single battery; however, for extended usage and stable performance, it is recommended to install and use both batteries simultaneously.

INSTALLING THE BATTERIES

1. Open the battery compartment cover on each side of the binocular’s center housing.
2. Insert one 18650 battery into each compartment, making sure the battery orientation matches the polarity markings inside the housing.
3. Close and firmly secure both battery compartment covers using the locking mechanism.
   • Locked (Closed) Position:
     • The red indicators become fully visible.
     • This confirms that the covers are properly secured and stable power contact is ensured.
   • Unlocked (Open) Position:
     • The black indicators are visible.
     • This means the covers are not fully closed, and the device may lose power due to poor battery contact.

TIP
Always use high-quality, button-top 18650 batteries to ensure reliable power contact and prevent interruptions during operation.

CHARGING THE DEVICE

You can charge the Binox 6 Dual Multispectral Binocular through the USB Type-C port using the included data cable.

The battery level indicator is displayed on the status bar when the device is powered on. Charge the binocular promptly when the level is low to ensure continuous operation.

Charging Guidelines:

1. Maintain a battery temperature between 0 °C and +60 °C (32 °F – 140 °F) during charging.
2. Always use the original charging cable supplied with the device.

Charging Steps:

1. Open the rubber cover protecting the Type-C port.

2. Connect the provided Type-C cable to the port and a power source.

Charging Indicator States:

• Red and green flashing alternately – Charging error.
• Red light on – Charging in progress.
• Green light on – Fully charged.
• Light off – Not connected or not charging.

RECOMMENDATION
Fully charge the device before first use and recharge every 3–6 months during long-term storage to maintain battery health.

POWER ON / OFF

Power On

Press and hold the Power Button until the ATN logo appears on the display. After startup, remove the lens cover before operation.

Power Off

Press and hold the Power Button until the countdown 3-2-1 finishes. Once the countdown completes, the binocular will power off automatically.

Standby Mode

To enter Standby Mode, press and hold the Power button, then release it before the countdown 3-2-1 ends.

To wake the binocular from Standby Mode, short-press the Power button once.

TIP

If you hold the button until the countdown finishes, the device will shut down completely.

Releasing it early activates Standby Mode, allowing faster wake-up and lower power consumption.

2. Press to confirm, then rotate to adjust. Repeat for each field. Once done, select Next and press the Control Wheel.

The main viewing screen will appear, and the binocular is ready for use.

IMAGE ADJUSTMENT

DIOPTER ADJUSTMENT

To achieve a sharp and comfortable view, adjust the diopter ring according to your eyesight. It is recommended to perform this adjustment before configuring other settings.

Steps:

1. Aim the binocular at a well-lit target or a clear background.
2. Look through the eyepiece and slowly rotate the diopter adjustment ring clockwise or counterclockwise until the on-screen icons and image appear sharp and clear.

TIP
Each eyepiece can be adjusted independently for perfect clarity — ensure both sides are focused according to your vision.

ADJUSTING INTERPUPILLARY DISTANCE

To achieve a clear and comfortable viewing experience, adjust the interpupillary distance between the eyepieces to match the distance between your eyes.

It is recommended to perform this adjustment before using other device functions.

Steps:

1. Aim the binoculars at a target and bring your eyes close to the eyecups.
2. Slowly move the eyepieces closer together or farther apart until the two circular images merge into one clear, unified view.

TIP
Proper adjustment reduces eye strain and ensures optimal image clarity during extended use.

FOCUS ADJUSTMENT

Manually adjust the focus ring to achieve a clear, well-defined image of your target.

Each lens (thermal and visible) is equipped with its own focus ring for precise adjustment.

Steps:

1. Aim the binocular at your target or object of interest.
2. Slowly rotate the focus ring clockwise or counterclockwise until the image appears sharp and detailed.
3. Repeat the adjustment for both lenses if needed to ensure optimal clarity in both thermal and visible modes.

NOTE:
To switch between thermal and visible modes, short press Button “3.”

ADJUSTING IR ILLUMINATOR

Rotate the IR illuminator adjusting ring to adjust the width and intensity of the light beam.

• A wider beam angle provides broader coverage but reduces light intensity.
• A narrower beam angle produces a stronger, more concentrated beam suitable for long-distance observation.

NOTE:
Use the IR illuminator only when necessary to preserve battery life and minimize visibility to others. For more details, see “4.1.5. IR Light”.

STATUS BAR DISPLAY

The Status Bar provides essential real-time information about the device’s operational state, including connectivity, power, and feature indicators.

To enable or disable the status bar:

1. Press the Control Wheel to open the Main Menu.
2. Rotate the wheel to navigate to Functionalities → Status Bar.
3. Press the Control Wheel to toggle the Status Bar On or Off.
4. The status bar will now appear (or disappear) on the display.

TIP
Keeping the status bar enabled ensures you can monitor key system parameters during operation.
