Thermal Paster is Not Visible in Sight

  1. You must be outside. Thermal pasters work outside only.
  2. Position target away from trees or buildings. Work best in an open environment. 
  3. Attach thermal paster to POA.
  4. Move your position to 25m. Keep in mind distance depends on your sight ability.
  5.  Reposition yourself or the target. 
  6.  Cloud cover could lessen contrast.

  1. Recharge the paster with a flashlight or other bright light for 30 – 60 secs.
  2. Reposition yourself and or the target

 

Laser Paster is Not Visible in Sight

  

  1. Be sure laser illumination is turned on. A laser paster needs illumination.
  2. Illumination beam must directly hit the POA paster for bright reflection.
  3. Reposition yourself and/or the target.
