After introducing the first round of the major security update x.x.100, we are now moving to the second round that will protect the rest of the Pulsar devices from increased risks of cybersecurity.

The update will automatically change the default password of the device to a more secure one  if it was not changed by the user beforehand. The recent update is necessary to enhance the protection of our users along with improving the stability of the devices and complying with the   (Internet of Things).

Covering the entire product range

The second round of the firmware update includes the following product lines:

• Axion 2 thermal imaging monoculars with and without the LRF
• Axion XM30F thermal imaging monocular
• Krypton 2 thermal imaging front attachments
• Talion thermal imaging riflescopes

No risk of losing the password

After updating your device, the default password will be changed to a random one. The new, automatically generated unique password can be found in the main menu of the device, in the Wi-Fi settings section.

The user can always change this password to a preferred one. This option was also available prior to the update. If the user had already changed the default password before the update, it would remain the same.

Reconnecting with your smartphone

Please be aware that due to the default password change, your smartphone will no longer connect to the device via Wi-Fi network. A few simple steps need to be taken to solve this issue:

1. Go to your smartphone’s settings and choose to forget the existing device Wi-Fi network.

3. Reconnect your smartphone to the Wi-Fi using the new device password.

4. Now your smartphone and Pulsar device should connect as usual via Wi-Fi.
