The Saim SCL Series is a line of low-cost thermal rifle scopes designed for night hunting and target observation. These devices are compact and lightweight, making them easy to carry and mount on various firearms. They are notable for their long operation hours, good concealment, and ability to quickly detect, recognize, and identify objects or targets. The Saim SCL Series is effective in various conditions, including total darkness, heavy smoke, haze, fog, and dust, at both close and long ranges.

Usage Features:

Battery Assembling:

The device uses CR123 batteries. To install them, open the battery compartment cover anticlockwise. Ensure batteries are installed correctly with the positive pole upward. After installation, close the cover and push until a "click" sound confirms it's correctly secured. Note: Only disposable batteries should be used. Rechargeable batteries are not recommended due to potential nonstandard quality. Avoid mixing different battery models or capacities. The Saim series also supports external power supply via a Type-C cable, indicated by a USB icon on the screen.

Power On/Off:

To power on, long-press the P button for 3 seconds and wait 6 seconds for the thermal image to appear. To power off, long-press the P button for 5 seconds until the shutdown option menu appears. Select "√" to shut down or "×" to cancel, then short-press the M button to confirm.

Diopter Adjustment:

Rotate the focus ring and eyepiece adjustment to achieve the clearest image after powering on.

Focal Length Setting:

Focus is adjusted by rotating the objective lens adjusting ring.

Calibration:

Short-press the C button for shutter correction and long-press C for background correction. For background correction, the lens cap should be covered.

Reticle On/Off:

To enable the reticle for the first time, press and hold the P+C buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds, then click the M button four times. To toggle the reticle on/off, press and hold the P+M+C buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds. This shortcut needs to be activated after the reticle is first enabled. When the reticle is off, all related menu operations (color, pattern, zeroing, blind pixel correction) are hidden.

Shortcut Menu:

In normal mode, a short press of the M button brings up the shortcut menu, offering options for:

• Image Palette and Sharpness (1st M press): Short-press P to switch between white hot, black hot, red hot, and rainbow palettes. Press C to adjust sharpness from level 1 to 4.
• E-zoom and Screen Brightness (2nd M press): Short-press P to switch digital zoom (1x, 2x, 3x, 4x). Press C to adjust screen brightness from level 1 to 4.
• Reticle Color and Pattern (3rd M press): Short-press P to switch reticle color (white, black, red, green). Press C to switch the reticle pattern.
• Exit Shortcut Menu (4th M press).

Advanced Menu:

In normal mode, press and hold the M button to enter the advanced menu. This menu includes settings for Ultraclear mode, Auto shutter correction, video output, PIP (Picture-in-Picture), battery mode, zeroing type, zeroing, blind pixel correction, and default resetting.

• Use P and C buttons to switch between function items.
• Short-press M to set item parameters.
• Long-press M to exit the advanced menu.

Ultraclear Mode:

This mode enhances image details in heavy fog, rain, or snow.

Zeroing:

Before zeroing, ensure the reticle is on and the zeroing type is selected in the advanced menu.

1. Select "Zeroing" and press M to enter the Zeroing interface, where the reticle appears as a small cross for adjustment.
2. Aim the reticle's center at a bull's-eye 100 meters away and shoot.
3. If the bullet hole is visible on screen: Keep the scope fixed. Press and hold M and C simultaneously to freeze the image (a snowflake icon appears). Short-press M to move the reticle up/down/left/right. Short or long-press P or C to move the reticle to the actual impact point. Press and hold M to save and exit.
4. If the bullet hole is not visible on screen: Measure the horizontal and vertical distance between the bull's-eye and the bullet hole. Use short or long-presses of P and C to move the reticle up/down/left/right, and short-press M to move up/down/left/right, adjusting the reticle position to match the measured distance on the scale plate. Press and hold M to save and exit. Notes: To ensure accuracy, repeat the zeroing process until the bull's-eye is hit. In the zeroing interface, a short click of M or C moves the reticle one pixel, while a long press moves it ten pixels. The scale plate shows the movement distance. For SCL25, one pixel movement corresponds to 3.4cm; for SCL35, it's 2.4cm. A white dot in the zeroing interface indicates the reticle's original position before calibration. After zeroing, all reticles will be adjusted accordingly.

Blind Pixel Calibration:

In the advanced menu, select "Blind Pixel Calibration" using Power/C and press M to enter the calibration interface.

• Use P and C buttons to move the reticle up/down or left/right. Press M to switch between up/down and left/right movement.
• Select a blind pixel, then long-press P and C to calibrate it. Press the same buttons again to cancel. The number of calibrated blind pixels is displayed at the bottom of the screen.
• Repeat until all blind pixels are calibrated, then long-press M to save and exit.

Reset to Default:

In the advanced menu, select "Default Resetting" using Power/C and press M to enter the resetting interface. Use P and C to switch between "√" (reset) and "×" (cancel). Short-press M to confirm and exit to the normal interface.

Key Function Customization:

The Saim series supports customization of shortcut keys.

1. Connect the Saim device to a computer.
2. Double-click the "XECM" app and open it.
3. Click "auto" to connect.
4. Once connected, click "other" then "customization" to enter the button customization interface.
5. Key customization is only supported for long-press functions (indicated by a gray background for unsupported functions).
