By entering Standby Mode while the Main Menu or

By an automatic shutdown of the LWTS just prior to

also reflected in the opposite FOV.

2.19 CALIBRATION (CAL)

At initial power up, after prolonged use, or after transitions

from one temperature extreme to another, a degradation of

the thermal scene may be noticed. This is corrected by

calibrating the LWTS.

The CAL menu item governs the behavior of shuttered

calibrations. When initiating a shuttered calibration, it is

normal to hear the internal shutter closing and opening. The

LWTS is also capable of performing silent, shutterless

calibrations if required by the tactical situation. For more

information regarding shutterless calibrations, see

section 2.27.
