PULSAR TELOS XQ35 Manual

Telos LRF  thermal imaging monoculars are designed for use both at night-time and during the day and provide exceptional image quality even in adverse weather conditions (fog, smog, rain) and beyond obstacles like branches, tall grass, dense foliage, etc. known to hinder target detection.

Unlike night-vision devices based on electron-optical converters, thermal imaging devices do not need an external light source and are resistant to bright light.

Telos LRF  thermal imagers are designed for various applications including hunting, observation, security, terrain orientation, search and rescue operations, etc.

Telos LRF  thermal imagers are equipped with a built-in laser rangefinder with a range of up to 1000 m and a measurement accuracy of ± 1 m.

Battery Pack

• Quick Change Li-Ion Battery Pack LPS7i
• Charging from USB Power Bank
• Quick-Charge power delivery​

• It is not recommended to charge the battery with the USB cable and wireless charger at the same time. This will not increase the charge rate and may damage the battery.
• Use the USB Type-C cable and power adapter supplied with the device (or purchased separately) to charge the LPS 7i batteries.
• Follow the safety precautions described in its Manual when using the wireless charger.
• Do not place any foreign objects between the battery and wireless charger platform.
• Do not charge the battery immediately after bringing it from cold to warm. Wait at least 30 minutes for the battery to warm up.
• Do not leave the battery unattended while charging.
• Do not use the power adapter and wireless charger if they have been modified or damaged.
• Do not leave the battery plugged in after charging is complete.
• Do not expose the battery to high temperatures and naked flame.
• Do not use the battery as a power source for devices that do not support LPS 7i batteries.
• Do not disassemble or deform the battery.
• Do not drop or strike the battery.
• Do not submerge the battery.
• Keep the battery out of the reach of children.

• The battery should be partially charged (50 to 80 %) for long-term storage.
• Charge at an ambient temperature of 0°C to +35°C (32°F to 95°F) or the lifespan of the battery will decrease significantly.
• Using the battery at sub 0°C (<32°F) ambient temperature decreases battery capacity. This is normal and not a defect.
• Using the battery at temperatures outside the range of -25°C to +50°C (-13°F to 122°F) may reduce battery life.
• The battery is short-circuit protected. Any situation that may cause short-circuiting should be avoided.

The Telos LRF thermal imager comes with an LPS7i rechargeable Lithium-ion battery. LPS7i batteries support USB Power Delivery fast charging technology when using a standard charging set (USB Type-C cable, power adapter). Before first use, make sure the battery is fully charged. LPS 7i batteries also support wireless charging.

The icon in the status bar will flash when the battery is low. The battery needs to be charged.

Option 1. USB Charging

1. Install the LPS7i battery in the battery compartment of the device.
2. Connect the USB cable (21) to the USB Type-C connector (17) of the device.
3. Connect the other end of the USB cable (21) to the Power Adapter (22) by removing the USB Type-A adapter.
4. Plug the Power Adapter (22) into a 100-240 V socket.
5. Wait until the battery is fully charged (indication in the status bar: ).

If the device is off, the LED indicator (18) will display the battery charge status:

LED indication	Battery charge status
	Battery defective. Do not use the battery!
	Battery charge level is from 0% to 50%
	Battery charge level is from 51% to 75%
	Battery charge level is from 76% to 99%
	Battery is full

Option 2. Charging the battery via USB

1. Remove the protective cover (8).
2. Connect the plug of the USB Type-C cable (21) to the USB Type-C connector (19) of the battery.
3. For fast charging, connect the second end of the USB Type-C cable (21) to the Type-C connector of the power adapter (22) by removing the Type-A adapter from the plug. When connected to a computer or a Type-A power adapter, the battery will charge at normal speed.
4. Plug the power adapter (22) into a 100-240 V socket.
5. LED (20) will display battery charge level (see Table).

LED indication	Battery charge status
	Battery defective. Do not use the battery!
	Battery charge level is from 0% to 50%
	Battery charge level is from 51% to 75%
	Battery charge level is from 76% to 99%
	Battery is full

Option 3. Wireless Charging

1. Place the battery (6) with the sign side on the wireless charger* (23). For more efficient wireless charging, align the lightning bolt icon on the battery with the centre of the charger platform (23).
2. Turn on the wireless charger according to its instruction manual.
3. LED (20) will display battery charge level (see Table).

* Third party-purchasing. The LPS7i battery works with all QI standard wireless chargers.

Note: Charging with a USB cable is significantly faster than using a wireless charger.

1. Install the cover (7) on the LPS7i battery (6).

2. Insert the battery (6) into the battery compartment (5) until you hear a click. The battery contacts must face the top of the device (see diagram).

3. To remove the battery (6), slide the switch (A) on the cover (7) to the left .

Power can be supplied from an external source such as a 5 V or 9 V power bank.

1. Connect the external power source to the USB Type-C connector (17) on the device.
2. The device will switch to draw power from the external source while the LPS7i battery is gradually recharged.
3. A battery icon  will appear on the display showing the percentage-charged level.
4. An icon  will be displayed when the device is powered by an external power source and the LPS7i battery is not connected.
5. The device automatically switches to the LPS7i battery when the external power supply is disconnected.

Attention! Charging LPS7i batteries from an external source at temperatures below 0°C (<32°F) can reduce battery life. When using external power, connect the power bank to the device only after it has been turned on and working (warming) for at least several minutes.

1. Open the lens cover (1).
2. Press the ON/OFF (9) button briefly to turn on the device.
3. Adjust the eyepiece diopter ring (13) until the symbols in the display are sharp.
4. Rotate the lens focus ring (3) to focus on the object being observed.
5. To change the magnification, turn the digital zoom adjustment ring (4).
6. Enter the main menu with a long press of the MENU (11) button and select the desired calibration mode: manual (M), semi-automatic (SA) or automatic (A).
7. Calibrate the image by briefly pressing the ON/OFF (9) button (if the SA or M calibration mode has been selected). Close the lens cover when calibrating manually.
8. Activate the quick menu by briefly pressing the MENU (11) button to adjust the brightness and contrast of the display and select the desired amplification level (“Normal” , “High” , “Ultra”  (for more details see the Quick Menu section).
9. Activate the smoothing filter in the main menu to improve the image as the amplification level increases.
10. Select one of the colour palettes in the main menu (for more details see the Colour Modes section).
11. Upon completion of use turn the device off by a long press of the ON/OFF (9) button.

Observation conditions: time of day, weather, type of observation objects affect the image quality. Custom settings for brightness, display contrast as well as the function of adjusting the microbolometer sensitivity amplification level will help to achieve the desired quality in a particular situation.​

Warning! Never point the lens at intensive energy sources such as laser radiation emitting devices or the sun. It can damage electronic components in the device. The warranty does not cover damage arising from failure to comply with operating instructions.
