Fitting the head band: Make sure the goggles sit comfortably and
safely on your head by adjusting the soft headband with the
integral slide clip.
Turn on the goggles using the switch located under the sensor
(see page 2). There are 3 positions for the switch. While you are
wearing the goggles; the middle position is OFF, forward is Sensor
and Lights, back is Sensor only (stealth mode).
After switching on your goggles, the heat sensor will take
approximately 40 seconds to settle, in this time period the LED
“Heat Trace” indicator will stay illuminated. After the settling
period, the LED indicator will go out and will now respond
(illuminate) when detecting heat targets.
To quickly check that your goggles are working, keep your head
still and wave your hand in front of the sensor which should
illuminate the indicator. Remove your hand, wait for the heat
sensor icon to go out and you are ready to start.

The heat we can feel
from sunlight, a fire and a
radiator is infrared. However, all
objects emit some degree of
infrared (IR) radiation.
As it is invisible to the
naked eye, "heat radiation" can only
be sensed or observed through the
use of specialised equipment.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION – Safe Battery Usage
– Batteries should only be replaced by an adult.
– Be sure to insert batteries correctly to prevent battery leakage.
– Always use fresh batteries, do not mix old and new.
– Replace all batteries at the same time.
– Do not mix alkaline, carbon-zinc or rechargeable batteries.
Use only batteries of the same or equivalent type as recommended.
– Do not attempt to recharge non rechargeable batteries.
– Rechargeable batteries are to be removed from the toy before
being charged.
– Rechargeable batteries are only to be charged under adult
supervision.
– Always remove exhausted or dead batteries from product.
– If the unit will not be used for an extended term, remove the
batteries. Otherwise batteries may leak or cause damage.
– Do not short-circuit the terminals.
– Make sure the battery compartment is secure.
– Do not take a battery apart.
– Do not dispose of batteries in fire; they may explode.
– Do not immerse battery-operated toys in water; wipe clean instead.
*It is very important
to move your head
very slowly in the field
of view where you want to
detect heat traces. Moving
too fast may cause false triggers.
Basically your sensor is trying to find and recognise heat, so needs
to be given time in each position to evaluate the temperature. Your
goggles cannot operate correctly if quick sweeps of an area are
made. Turn you head slowly from left to right (or vice versus),
taking at least 40 seconds each sweep. Once you
have located a likely heat source you can move
closer to to investigate. It is important to
remember that the sensor is to the right side
of your viewing lens, which is the direction
your goggles are searching for heat, (i.e. not
where you are looking through your lens).
You will need to practise to become used
to where the sensor is pointing – being the
direction the heat source is actually located.
The Thermo-Tracking sensor in your goggles is very directional with
a small viewing area, with humans it will work best if you look at head
level as a face gives off a good heat trace. If you believe a person is
hiding, then start at head level and move very slowly down in case
they are bending or squatting in their hiding position. Please note:
thick clothing can completely mask a person’s heat trace, (which
shows how we actually keep warm thanks to jumpers and coats).
Your goggles work best outside at night as the temperature is much
lower, and the sensor will not pick up so many other ambient heat
traces. The goggles will also work inside your home and outside
during the day. However, the sensitivity on a warm day
(or in a warm room) may be less than usual as the background
(full area) heat around the human/animal will be closer to their
own body heat emissions.
The LED light source is only intended for use at night or when too
dark to see properly.
