NUMERIC TEMPERATURE INDICATOR
The indicator displays next to the Temperature Bar and indicates the
measured temperature of an object in the Temperature Measurement
Zone (center of the display).
NOTE
The indicators provide a quick reference to compare
objects of similar emissivity to assist with identification
of intense heat sources. Due to the inherent issues
with accuracy, use these features with caution and verify
indicated heat levels through traditional means, whenever
possible.
SENSITIVITY (GAIN) MODES
The imager automatically switches between high and low sensitivity
(gain) modes based on ambient scene temperatures to avoid image
saturation in high-temperature situations. The low sensitivity mode acti-
vates in high heat situations and deactivates as ambient heat decreas-
es (i.e. lower temperatures). The low sensitivity mode indicator consists
of a green triangle located in the upper left of the viewing area.
OVERHEAT INDICATOR
A visual warning flashes to indicate the thermal imager might cease
to operate due to internal overheating. After prolonged overheating,
the imager will switch off automatically and could become damaged.
SHUTTER
You will periodically observe a momentary freeze in the imager. This is
normal and is a function of the self-calibration shutter, the frequency
of shuttering may depend on the environment and temperature.
POWER
1. During operation the bar will deplete from left to right.
2. The Bullard TXS's lithium-ion battery pack is designed for maxi-
mum life when the battery is kept fully charged. Bullard recom-
mends leaving the TXS connected to your preferred charging
system when the unit is not in use.
3. Power off the imager during charging.

CHARGING THE BATTERY
Your Bullard TXS's battery can be charged with the Bullard USB
Wall Charger or with the Bullard XS Charger. One of these chargers
is supplied with your camera depending on the configuration you
ordered.
To charge the battery in the Bullard XS Charger, place the imager
or single battery pack on the charger and secure in place using
the rubber strap. Use the optional AC adapter and plug the power
cord into a dedicated wall outlet, or use the wiring harness for
installation in a vehicle.
NOTE
To charge with the USB Wall Charger, open the USB cover located
on the rubber boot at the top of the display side of the imager. Plug
the USB power cord into a dedicated wall outlet using the included
AC adapter. The battery pack must be at moderate temperatures to
support charging.

If your Bullard TXS has been stored in extremely cold
temperatures for an extended period of time, especially
with a depleted battery, it may not boot. To avoid this
behavior, Bullard recommends leaving the unit attached to
a charging system when not in use.
