1 Introduction

The BHM-Series Bi-Ocular handheld thermal imaging camera gives every mariner the power to see at night like never before.

The BHM-Series Bi-Ocular camera gives you the power to see more—and to see farther—than every other night vision technology around:

• When you have the BHM-Series Bi-Ocular camera on deck, at night in dark anchorages you will be able to see your surroundings, even when it is cloudy and there is no moonlight or starlight.
  • See clearly in total darkness—unlike other night vision systems, BHM-Series Bi-Ocular cameras require no light at all
  • See logs, rocks, land, and other hazards that radar can miss
• Boat with confidence at night knowing that you can see harbor entrances and navigation channels in total darkness
• See with FLIR's award-winning maritime thermal night vision technology in the palm of your hand

3-5 BHM-Series Bi-Ocular Power Management

Your BHM-Series Bi-Ocular camera is equipped with a power management system that provides up to five hours of continuous operation and up to five days of standby time between battery charges. To make the best use of the camera and to assure it is always ready when you need it, it is important to understand the basic power states of the camera.

The BHM-Series Bi-Ocular camera is designed to operate much like your cell phone:

• It is rarely turned off unless you do not plan to use it for a few days or more.
• When near a power source (AC power or a car cigarette lighter) or when not in use, it is recommended that you keep a charger plugged into the camera.
• When the camera is turned on from the Off state, it takes about 90 seconds to become operational.
• In Standby, it is always ready to go. Press the Power button and the camera will come on in about two seconds.
• It will automatically put itself in Standby to conserve the battery.

A red state LED located under the right-eye display, as shown in the photograph below, indicates the current power state.

3—Operating Your Camera BHM-Series Bi-Ocular Operator's Manual

Power States

• There are three power states: Off, On, and Standby
- The initial power-on Bootup process between the Off state and the On state takes about 90 seconds (fast flashing red state LED). During the Bootup process, pressing the Power button again will turn the camera off. After the camera finishes its power-on Bootup process, it is in the On state (state LED is off). After the camera is On, pressing the Power button will toggle the camera between On and Standby (state LED is flashing slowly).
- When battery powered, if Auto-Standby is enabled (see "Auto-Standby Operation" on page 22), the camera goes to Standby after three minutes if no buttons are pushed. A warning is shown in the display.
- From the Standby state, the camera comes back on within about two seconds when the Power button is pushed.
- The Auto-Standby function is disabled if the camera is powered with auxiliary power.

During most use scenarios you will cycle between Standby and On. Only at the end of a shift or when not needed on multi-day field missions might you consider putting the camera into the OFF state.
